A few weeks ago I checked out Phora’s SOLD OUT homecoming show at The Regent Theater in DownTown LA. I was fascinated seeing all his fans that knew all the words to his songs. With relatable messages and catchy lyrics in his music, it’s quite easy to see why his following is so concrete.
Next month Phora will be releasing his ‘Yours Truly Forever’ album, which will include recently-released single, “Numb.” On the profound single Phora battles his addiction and depression demons with tell-all lyrics that paint a picture of a person going through the struggle. The 22-year-old rapper goes into full detail of how he dealt with his issues, something many can relate to.
“In a time where a lot of music just sounds like blah, and everybody wants to pop Xanax, and be ‘turnt,’ I felt like speaking out and showing a different view and perspective,” detailed Phora about the single “Numb” in an Instagram post. “During the time of writing this song last year, I was going through an addiction that I felt like I couldn’t break, I didn’t know how to get away from this depression. I’m not scared to show my weaknesses, I’m not afraid of my past, I’m not afraid to show you my mistakes and who I am…. that’s everything that makes me who I am.”
Phora is in the midst of his headlining “Yours Truly Tour,” which began last month with eight consecutive SOLD OUT shows on the West Coast.
His forthcoming ‘Yours Truly Forever’ album will be released August 18th and include previously-released singles “To The Moon,” “Sinner Pt. 2,” and “Rider” The three aforementioned singles have all surpassed a million views on YouTube and “Numb” figures to do the same. Watch the video below.
