With a true lack of footing, being in a strange place, and feeling like an outsider in so many ways, Morray did what he knew-he fought. What was supposed to be a way to slow down his activities in the streets, turned into just the opposite. With a population just over 25,000 people, Morray was as big of a fish out of water as one could be. Though he makes it clear that his father has now since cleaned his act up and takes care of his current family the emotional scars that his both “hands on” and absentee approach left on an impressionable and embittered Morrae Ruffin are impossible to miss.Īs Morray began to get in more trouble, his mother moved them to the least likely of places: Lebanon, Pennsylvania. Where his mother serves as a constant reminder for him of sacrifice and the kind of love that doesn’t need to be spoken, his father is a glaring example of the kind of person he never wanted to be. Both incidents in his early youth, though very different, would foreshadow things to come.Īside from his mother who makes an appearance in a large part of his music, his father holds a central role in these adolescent years, but for very different reasons. As his recollection serves, at age 4 he was asked by his mother and grandmother, who had a church, to sing his favorite song, “I Believe I Can Fly” during service. On the other hand, he also remembers the first time music made its way into his life. Born in Fayetteville, North Carolina, one of his first memories as a child was wreaking so much havoc in class that his mother had to take off work, lose money, and come to the school to discipline him. Luckily, that something was Morray.īy the third grade, the 28-year old rapper, crooner, and street pastor had already experienced life’s tribulations. It was only a few months old and already had millions of views. I began who knows where and ended up on the other end of the site.īut in that spiral down the neverending virtual halls of the trademark red play button, I found something that I’d never heard before. I too fell down one of those rabbit holes that claim so many of us. Turn into a repeat offender and the platform begins to know you and what you tend to look for. Comb through YouTube long enough and you’re liable to trip over something you like.
With streaming farms creating listens faster than artists can get cancelled, it’s hard to gauge if an artist makes good music or if a song is just popular. The statement is somewhat fair depending on whether or not you believe the DSP’s and record labels are telling the truth.
