Yours Truly Forever

Phora’s Yours Truly Forever is full of open-book songwriting and his clean, understated style: Rapping over soulful vocal loops, gentle guitars, and hazy beats, the Californian pens a heartfelt love letter to his girl on “To the Moon,” while the vulnerable “God” offers a moment of honest self-reflection often missing from hip-hop’s macho posturing. Don’t think he can’t spit hot bars, though––cue up the trippy “Facts,” on which he unleashes a more barbed flow over tough drumbeats.
