Everyone around Phor encouraged him to pick up the needle.The fifth season of the reality television series Black Ink Crew: Chicago aired on VH1 from Januuntil August 6, 2019. On New Year's Eve 2008, he was in the Indiana basement of his buddy Jet, who had his own tattoo equipment and still handles Phor's tattoos. It was only a short step from there to tattooing. He signed a deal with Nike at the age of 20, but it came so quickly that he wasn't clear what he was getting himself into - and when it expired, he didn't renew it. He had a hold on every school, even beyond high school. People would send him new Air Force 1s, and he would go insane. When he couldn't afford anything, he began designing garments and shoes. His mum only gave him $5 to $10 every day for lunch. As a student at Thornwood High School in South Holland, Phor began painting personalized graphics on gym shoes. He used to doodle and conceal all of his drawings in his mama's closet in a big-a** Aldi's bag. Phor also grew up sketching a painter neighbor, whom he only recalls as Mr Harris, taught him perspective and depth, as well as how to refine his talents. Robinson couples gloomy despair with seesawing verses on 'Mind Over Matter,' delivering his words so tenderly and methodically that even his shortest lines reveal emotional complexity. He has an uncanny ability to amp up the bounce in his cadence by putting his rubbery lines into the pit of a song's rhythm, and he can make his flow sound both fluid and hard-edged. The 2020 album 'Self Love (NMOL)' is largely about mental health, although a couple of its 16 tracks highlight Robinson's steely talents. Robinson has released four additional albums as Phor since then, averaging roughly one per year. The cast of 'Black Ink Crew' turned the shop's regulars into superstars, but cast member Phor Robinson had already made a reputation for himself as a rapper before the first episode aired - he'd released the full-length 'Sacrifice' in early 2015. VH1 premiered 'Black Ink Crew: Chicago', a reality series portraying the intertwined lives of tattoo artists working at 9Mag, a Black-owned and operated tattoo parlor in Pilsen, in October 2015. ![]()
