Rhyming and singing with unparalleled passion, North Carolina native Morray‘s soulful street music has made a major impact since his arrival on the scene in October with his hit “Quicksand.” Welcoming listeners inside his head for a 13-track effort, Morray shares Street Sermons, his first-ever full-length project.
Street Sermons taps into the spiritual uplift and church-trained singing that makes Morray’s brand of hip-hop so unique, taking unflinching looks at the Fayetteville native’s youthful struggles and indiscretions and examining his motivations to succeed. The project contains universal truths about the tragedies and triumphs of growing up in the hood, filtered through Morray’s experience as a neighborhood kid made good.
Along with Street Sermons, Morray delivers the video for “Can’t Use Me,” a highlight from the project. In the video, Morray takes a radio station hostage, hijacking the airwaves so he can speak his mind. Defined by a spindly guitar riff and understated trap drums, Morray uses his supernatural melodic skill to comment on his come-up, expressing suspicion of fake friends and industry hangers-on and making sure everyone knows he won’t be taken advantage of.
