Raury Talks About Being Misunderstood; Identifies With Kanye West & Michael Jackson [Video]

P.R. 0 Comments

A few weeks ago we caught up with Raury during an one of The FADER and vitamin water® #uncapped music series events. The East Atlanta based artist reminisced on his early and humble beginnings, expressing gratitude to the C5 Youth Foundation for playing a key role in where he is today and the type of music he makes. Raury furthered the discussion by delving into tracks off his recently released “Indigo Child” and being misunderstood. “They’re always going to look at you like your insane or crazy or going at it in the wrong way. Nobody will ever understand. It’s always going to be a lot of controversy when it comes to doing what an artist would do. There’s a lot of shit people don’t understand…Michael Jackson used to be beat everyday by his dad. And just because of that, I feel like I’m behind him. Other people like that are like Kanye when he locked himself in the rooms and forced himself to make beats all day.”

Raury – God’s Whisper (Live In New York) [Video]

P.R. 0 Comments

Last night, fast-rising Atlanta singer, rapper, and all around creative Raury performed his debut show in New York, presented by Pigeons & Planes and Love Renaissance. Any artist’s first NYC show is a big moment, but Raury’s came off the back of a an especially exciting month in which he dropped his debut project Indigo Child, announced signing a deal with Columbia Records, freestyled over Outkast’s “Elevators” on Sway in the Morning, and featured on songs with SBTRKT and The Neighbourhood. The show, which went down in The Studio at Webster Hall, was packed, with an interesting mix of music industry people and Raury’s core fans, his “indigos”—young, fashionable, creative people who know all the words to all his songs. Alongside music from Indigo Child, Raury performed three covers which seem to reflect who he is as an artist, and the kind of impact the wants to have on people. He covered Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” Kid Cudi’s “Pursuit Of Happiness,” and Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” as part of his ten song set. Watch Raury perform his final song of the night, “God’s Whisper,” and then lead fans to an ice cream shop around the corner where he gave out free ice cream.
