Phabo – Before We Get In Here! | New Single & Artist Profile

Look, if you haven’t had Phabo on your radar yet, you’re officially late to the party.

The LA-based singer-songwriter just dropped his new single, “Before We Get In Here!” and it’s a perfect reminder of why he’s one of the most respected names in the industry right now. Phabo is that rare breed of artist who is just as gifted as he is driven—a “writer’s writer” who has spent years perfecting his craft behind the scenes before stepping fully into his own light.

The Secret Weapon of LA R&B

You’ve likely already heard Phabo’s work without even realizing it. He’s the pen behind hits for heavyweights like Kehlani, Kyle Dion, and Jahkoy. But while some writers struggle to find their own voice once the spotlight shifts to them, Phabo makes the transition look effortless. He doesn’t just write songs; he builds worlds.

Church Chords and Rap Battles

Phabo’s sound is a unique cocktail of his upbringing. He cut his teeth in the church, where he learned those “enrapturing” melodies and soulful chord progressions that give his music its emotional backbone.

But there’s a sharpness to his timing that doesn’t come from a choir loft. That comes from high school freestyle rap battles. That “Ratchet & Blues” energy—a term he coined for his 2014 mixtape series—is exactly what makes his music feel so grounded. He has the lyrical agility of a rapper mixed with the silkiness of a classic R&B crooner.

Why “Before We Get In Here!” is the Moment

Following the momentum of his standout track “LNF,” his new single is a testament to how far he’s come. “Before We Get In Here!” isn’t just a catchy pop-leaning record; it’s a masterclass in storytelling. It feels intentional, polished, and—most importantly—real.

Phabo isn’t chasing trends. He’s leaning into his ability to express the nuances of modern romance in a way that feels both nostalgic and brand new. If this single is any indication of what’s next, the “artist mode” Phabo is in right now is a level most people can’t reach.
