Atlanta rapper and singer Raury has released his debut album All We Need. This LP doesn't have many features, but the "Forbidden Knowledge" rapper does tab Big K.R.I.T., RZA, Key and Tom Morello to assist on the 14-track LP.
Production comes in from Malay, Danger Mouse, Daytrip, Jacknife Lee and Raury himself.
All We Need is the followup to Raury's acclaimed 2014 mixtape Indigo Child that earned plaudits from critics and artist alike. It put him on the radar of acts like Kanye West and SBTRKT, whom he collaborated with on the track "Higher."
Thoughtful and precise, Raury manages to sign his album debut to a major, Columbia Records, and not lose the artistic integrity that has quickly made him one of the more exciting young artists around. It combines social commentary with introspective personal stories over a variety of instrumental-based beats, layered with vocals. There is still a bit to work out and he sounds a little rough around the edges --understandbale for a 20-year-old making his debut -- but the promise of a great career is still there.
Fans have already heard a few of the singles from the album including several collabs like "Friends" with Tom Morello and "Forbidden Knowledge" alongside Big K.R.I.T., but now they can hear the tracks within the context of the album.
