Tavoris Javon Hollins Jr. (born August 17, 1997), known professionally as Vory (formerly King Vory), is an American rapper, singer, and songwriter. Born in Louisville, Kentucky, he won a Grammy Award for his work on The Carters' album Everything Is Love (2018), and co-wrote hometown native Bryson Tiller's 2015 single "Don't". The song peaked at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100, likewise with the 2018 single "Mob Ties" by Drake, which he also wrote. His further songwriting credits led him to wider recognition as he pursued his recording career, which he first began in 2015. Hollins signed a recording contract with Capitol Records and Electric Feel Entertainment in 2018, which entered a joint venture with Meek Mill's record label, Dream Chasers Records in 2020.
Hollins saw his furthest recognition for his appearances on Kanye West's album Donda (2021)—on its songs "God Breathed", "Jonah" and "No Child Left Behind"—for which he earned nominations for Best Rap Album and Album of the Year at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards. His debut studio album, Lost Souls (2022) was met with positive critical reception. That same year, he co-wrote Lil Baby's hit song "Forever". Due to a number of controversies, he parted ways with Meek Mill and Dream Chasers in 2024.[2]
