“Vory Is Hip-Hop’s Secret Weapon” – GQ
“Vory’s unique ability to blend emotional crooning with bars that vividly describe his struggles is what makes him such a compelling artist” – Complex
“Equipped with his unique sound, wisdom beyond his years, and plenty more work he wants to get done, the young artist is only scratching the surface of his potential.” – Billboard
Respected across the industry for his silky hooks and gripping relationship dramas, Vory is ready to make his next move. The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter announces his next project, EROS 3.0 FALLOUT, coming very soon. The new mixtape directly continues the story from August’s DONDADA, exploring the consequences of the cavalier and reckless decisions he made in the past. The 10 songs on the new mixtape flow into one another with seamless transitions, stitched together with voice notes and subtle musical flourishes. Home to last week’s tragicomic “SIN CITY,” and featuring guest spots from Roy Woods and Biirthplace, EROS 3.0 FALLOUT arrives on November 13th via EROS LLC / EMPIRE.
Along with the announcement of the new mixtape, Vory shares “BE HONEST,” a highlight from the upcoming collection. Populated by soulful vocal samples and swelling synths, “BE HONEST” is a ballad about a toxic long-distance relationship. Switching between pained melodies and fast-paced triplets, Vory’s vocals reflecting the pain he felt when his girlfriend ends their relationship after Vory’s 3 months on tour. Vory directly confronts her, accusing her of deriving pleasure from playing games: “Be honest, did I lose you to the fame?” he asks.
Earlier this year, Vory made waves with DONDADA, his new album, and his first to be released independently by EROS LLC / EMPIRE. A confident 10-track album, DONDADA touches on the privileges and precarities of living like a boss, using immersive sonics to convey a sense of lonely luxury, at once reveling in the wonders riches provide, and worrying about the problems that money brings. The album features guest spots from heavy-hitters like 2 Chainz, Fredo Bang, and Trae Tha Truth, voices that Vory weaves effortlessly into his twisted tapestry. Featuring additional appearances from Domani and Dame Atlas, DONDADA establishes Vory as a singular voice in the game, seamlessly blending R&B vocals with hip-hop attitude and expert songcraft.
Since emerging in the mid-2010s, Vory has helped define the sound of contemporary rap and R&B with his work on the mic and behind the scenes. He scored his first hit at just 18-years-old, with his contribution to fellow Louisville native Bryson Tiller’s now-classic “Don’t,” which racked up billions of streams en route to a Diamond certification. The artist’s distinct pen helped launch further hits, like Drake’s “Mob Ties,” which peaked at #13 on the Billboard Hot 100. Vory’s talents earned the attention of some of the biggest stars in the game: he earned his first Grammy win for his contribution to Everything Is Love, the Best Urban Contemporary Album-winning project by Jay-Z and Beyoncé as The Carters. In 2020, Vory signed a joint venture with Meek Mill’s Dream Chasers, through which he released his debut studio album, Lost Souls, in 2022. The now 28-year-old polymath became a household name among hip-hop fans when he contributed songwriting and vocals to “God Breathed,” “Jonah,” and “No Child Left Behind” from Kanye West’s Grammy-nominated DONDA album. With additional credits for artists like Lil Baby, 2 Chainz, DaniLeigh, and many more, Vory has racked up 15 Platinum plaques and 4 Gold records on his written works.
Now independent and ready to push his sound forward, Vory plans to prove that he’s one of the game’s best with EROS 3.0 FALLOUT. Stay tuned for more.
