Danish rapper and producer Wohran delivers a quietly powerful return with “True Story,” a soulful, introspective single that blends conscious rap with mellow, old-school production and emotional honesty. As a preview of his upcoming debut album Alterity, due this August, “True Story” offers a compelling window into Wohran’s reflective mindset and creative evolution.
Built on laid-back beats and thoughtful lyricism, the track captures the essence of keeping your head up through life’s storms without sacrificing your peace. “It’s about strolling through a life filled with pain without letting it affect your inner peace,” Wohran explains. That message comes through in every bar—equal parts resilience and release.
Drawing inspiration from the likes of Mac Miller, Saba, Big L, MF DOOM, and The Alchemist, Wohran’s sound leans into the golden era of hip-hop while carving out a voice that’s deeply personal. His relationship with music began in childhood during car rides soundtracked by 50 Cent and Eminem, but it took root in the seventh grade when he began writing to navigate his own mental health struggles. That confessional thread remains at the heart of his work today.
“True Story” developed organically, its lyrics first scribbled as fragments of thought before taking shape over a beat crafted by Wohran himself. The result is a song that feels unforced, lived-in, and refreshingly grounded, a personal reflection turned universal message.
With this single, Wohran doesn’t just hint at the emotional scope of Alterity, he sets the tone for a debut that will likely balance vulnerability with strength and pain with optimism.
