Stylistically in the realm of PartyNextDoor and Bryson Tiller, Tyus is among the stoned, boastful R&B balladeers who surfaced during the mid-2010s. The Portland, Oregon-based singer and songwriter caught the recording bug while in high school and dropped out, at the age of 16, to pursue his goals. He was still a teenager in 2015, a year in which he released a short album’s worth of commercially available tracks such as “XXX,” “Room 723,” and “Cash Flow.” After he signed a recording contract with Warner Bros., the major-label reissued his early-2016 single “My Way.” It was the prelude to the nine-track Never Forget, released that October.
