Tavoris Javon Hollins Jr. (born August 17, 1997), known professionally as Vory (formerly King Vory), is an American singer, rapper, and songwriter. Raised in Louisville, Kentucky, he is perhaps best known for his guest appearances on Kanye West's 2021 songs "God Breathed", "Jonah" (alongside Lil Durk) and "No Child Left Behind" — all of which appear on West's tenth album, Donda. His contributions to the album earned him nominations for Best Rap Album and Album of the Year at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards.
As a performing artist, Hollins began his recording in 2015 and signed a recording contract with Capitol Records and Electric Feel Entertainment in 2018. He entered a joint venture with Meek Mill's record label, Dream Chasers Records in 2020. His debut studio album, Lost Souls (2022), was met with positive critical reception despite failing to chart. He parted ways with Meek Mill and Dream Chasers in 2024.[2]
Having first gained success as a songwriter, Hollins won a Grammy Award for his work on the Carters' album Everything Is Love (2018). He has also co-written the singles "Don't" (2015) by fellow Kentucky-based singer Bryson Tiller, and "Mob Ties" (2018) by Canadian rapper Drake, both of which peaked at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2022, he co-wrote Lil Baby's song "Forever", which peaked within the chart's top ten.
