Love Is Hell is the second studio album by California rapper Phora. Following his 2017 album Yours Truly Forever, Phora akes a different take on love, talking about the dark side opposed to the positive side. The project features many rap stars including 6LACK, G-Eazy, Tory Lanez, and Trippie Redd, and many singers including Vicktor Taiwò, Breana Marin, and Brandon Vlad. In a 2018 interview with Billboard, Phora described why he felt “love was hell”: One of the biggest challenges for me was focusing on what I love and who I love, evenly, and trying to give both the same attention. When I would give more attention to what I love, which is obviously music, who I love would start drifting away and falling apart because I wasn’t giving that love, care, time and attention.
