Vory released Be Honest on Friday, November 6, 2026, through his own EROS imprint and EMPIRE. The vory be honest single arrives one week before his album EROS 3.0 FALLOUT, due Friday, November 13.
The song sits as track five on the album and follows Sin City, the single released October 23 that opened this rollout. Where Sin City turned suspicion into a story, Be Honest strips the premise down to a direct request, and it arrived with an official audio release on Vory’s channel.

The Pen Behind Be Honest
Context is everything with Vory. Born Tavoris Javon Hollins Jr. in Houston and raised in Louisville, Kentucky, he built his name as a writer inside other artists’ biggest records. He co-wrote Bryson Tiller’s Don’t, which peaked at No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100, and Drake’s Mob Ties, which also peaked at No. 13. He co-wrote Lil Baby’s Forever, a top ten Hot 100 record, and he won a Grammy Award for his work on The Carters’ Everything Is Love, where he co-wrote Friends. He also appeared three times on Kanye West’s Donda, on God Breathed, Jonah and No Child Left Behind.
That is the resume of one of the most trusted writers of his generation, and it is the backdrop every Vory solo release carries. Listeners who know the pen hear Be Honest differently, because the same qualities that made stars call him, emotional clarity, memorable phrasing and hooks that state their premise plainly, are all present here in his own voice.
His Own Catalogue Keeps Building
Vory’s solo record has its own proof. His debut album Lost Souls, released June 3, 2022, reached No. 1 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart, and it featured Kanye West, BLEU, NAV, BEAM, Landstrip Chip and Fresco Trey. The EROS era, released through his own imprint with EMPIRE, puts his name, his label and his rollout decisions at the center.
Sequencing tells the story of this album. Sin City set the scene on October 23: travel, temptation and a narrator doing uncomfortable math. Be Honest arrives two weeks later as the conversation that scene was always heading toward, and as a confirmed track five, listeners are hearing a piece of the finished project, not a stray single that might be left off.
One Week Out From FALLOUT
The official audio format suits the record. There is no video narrative competing with the vocal, so the song stands on melody, phrasing and the directness of its central request. A week before EROS 3.0 FALLOUT arrives, a bigger, more theatrical single would risk defining the project too narrowly. Be Honest instead reinforces the mood Sin City established: late night, romantic, slightly paranoid, built for close listening.
EROS 3.0 FALLOUT lands Friday, November 13, with Be Honest holding track five. The preview window is tight and deliberate, and it closes this week.
