BiographyMarco Archer, a rapper who goes by Phora, is an Anaheim-raised native of Corona, California who excels at narrative rhymes. His charismatic manner lends a relatable quality to lyrics that, if delivered by less-skilled rappers, would probably not resonate with most listeners foreign to his perspective. (He has survived a stabbing and two shootings.) As a youngster, Archer got into some trouble for graffiti, but his work as a tattoo artist proved to be relatively lucrative and aided in the funding of his fledgling rap career. Before turning 21, he had released four albums independently: One Life to Live, Still a Kid, Sincerely Yours, and the Nights Like These EP, which was issued with major crowdfunding assistance. Angels with Broken Wings arrived in 2015 and was his first effort to land on the Billboard rap chart. Exactly one year later, Archer released his rap chart-topping fifth LP, With Love. Yours Truly Forever, his sixth release in as many years, was issued in August 2017. ~ Andy KellmanOur ReviewPhora’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.Songs on
