On 'True Story' Danish rapper Wohran trades ego for honesty, delivering an emotionally charged track about resilience.
Danish rapper and producer Wohran returns with ‘True Story’, a mellow, introspective cut that dials into the emotional depth behind his laid-back sound. Floating between conscious rap, alternative hip-hop, and old-school influences, the track lands somewhere between diary entry and late-night conversation.
Written in fragments over time, ‘True Story’ sees Wohran reflecting on pain without letting it define him. “It’s about strolling through a life filled with pain without letting it affect your inner peace,” he says. “And through that, holding on to your happiness.” It’s a sentiment that feels both quietly radical and universally needed.
Drawing from icons like Mac Miller, MF DOOM, and Saba – along with early memories of 50 Cent and Eminem on car speakers – Wohran has spent years using music as a tool to process, reflect, and move forward. That same emotional honesty is what gives ‘True Story’ its staying power.
The single offers a first taste of Alterity, his debut album arriving this August. And if ‘True Story’ is anything to go by, the album promises a project shaped by sharp lyricism, hazy beats, and a deep commitment to growth and creative freedom
