Emerging in 2020 with a distinctive sung-rap style, North Carolina vocalist Morray became a viral success on the back of his debut music video, "Quicksand," before making his full-length debut with 2021's Street Sermons. Built around the musician's bold, emotive voice, Street Sermons packs Morray's harsh lessons into concrete ballads, capturing street life through a reflective, trap-bound set of songs. Despite big-ticket co-signs from artists like J. Cole and DaBaby, the tape remains a feature-less affair;, with songs reflecting on past promises ("On God"), delivering bittersweet tales of lost loyalties ("Facade"), or working through conflicted relationships ("Nothing Now"), Morray ensures his voice remains front and center. Scored with acoustic-loop trap from Dzimi, Danny Couture, and ForeignGotem, Street Sermons' narratives prove a potent package.
