A devoted student of hip-hop with an expressive pen, My Favorite Color toes the line between tradition and experimentation in his deeply personal rhymes.
Opening up his soul with a unique artistic statement, My Favorite Color shares Velma, his debut album.
Velma is a revealing and relatable album–listening feels like catching up with an old friend about his life. The project creates a collection of the richly-drawn characters that populate life of the rapper born Anthony Willis, and by the end of the album, the listener gets intimately familiar with not just Willis, but his girlfriend, his parents, and other friends and family.
The instrumentals take inspiration from neo-soul, lo-fi hip-hop, and alternative rock, as My Favorite Color tells stories from his life as a rising artist and growing person. On songs like the recent single “Funeral,” My Favorite Color contemplates complex questions about faith, mortality, music, and love.
