Editor's note

Phora writes songs about personal struggle and survival.

The Anaheim rapper's direct, emotional tracks like 'Fake Smiles' and 'To the Moon' built a loyal following.

For a good sense of his lane, try 'Fake Smiles' or the later track 'A Song For Her.' They're both pretty direct about where he's coming from.

Phora's music sticks because it's plainspoken about the hard stuff. Songs like 'Fake Smiles' and 'Love Yourself' tackle personal struggles without much filter. The 2019 track 'To the Moon' went viral and pulled more people into that world.

He started putting out mixtapes around 2011, with 'Sincerely Yours' and 'Angels with Broken Wings.' Later albums like 'Yours Truly Forever' and 'Love is Hell' kept that emotional focus, while collaborations with Hopsin or Kehlani on 'Cupid's Curse' showed some range.
