So I’ve been off the grid for a moment enjoying some much
needed time away from NYC with good friends in Atlanta. This next share is
something I grabbed before heading off to the south which was only too
appropriate considering the teenager not only hails from the city but also creates
a unique sound that mixes all the elements of his town’s rich gospel, rap,
folk, soul, and indie history.
The project contains thirteen songs which eclectically jump around,
sometimes falling a little short but often hitting a creative high note. With
the release of the tape
Raury was instantly signed to a major label, which I guess
is great for him if you put much stock into the increasingly archaic practice
that is the business of doing music; So I’m sure his star will only continue to
rise in the near future as the machine starts to turn its wheels.
You can stream the
tape from below and download it if you like what you hear and I also threw up
the
AndrewDonoho directed video for “
God’s
Whisper” which some of you have probably seen at this point but will serve as a
good intro for those who haven’t.
