Morray Drops “Da Rant”

This latest single is simply called “Da Rant,” and it is perhaps his most personal track yet.

From start to finish, he goes deep into his past as he describes the people he associated with and the things he saw. Overall, it makes for a compelling listen, and the bars speak to Morray’s growth as an artist.

Furthermore, the production is also a demonstration of how Morray has matured. The beat here is much more progressive than what he typically raps over as there are some unique shifts throughout. There is a certain tone here that speaks to the gravity of what he’s rapping about, and it all comes together beautifully.

Quotable Lyrics:

Dyin’ for your gang, who told you posse up?
Choosin’ death for one’s beliefs, yeah, bitch, that’s probably us
But on that fuckin’ dyin’ part, man, that’s where I’m kinda stuck
‘Cause n***a, it’s your time to go, why the fuck you keep on sayin’ us?

Today, breakout singer-rapper Morray returns with the unfiltered new single “Da Rant.”

The brutally honest track doubles as a recap of the rising star’s rough-and-tumble upbringing and a statement of intent about his future. “DA RANT” is accompanied by a suitably candid video, which is composed of behind-the-scenes footage.

Morray kicks off “DA RANT” by addressing his past. “Was running wit the wrong crowd,” the North Carolina MC raps over propulsive beats and searing synths. “Young, dumb, mad, loud — time past me by when I was sitting on that green mile.” After turning his life around, however, the hitmaker is optimistic about his future. “Nas, Biggie, Jay Z, man, I need that kinda stamp,” Morray spits, “Tyson Floyd and Ali, I’m tryna be that kinda champ.”

The overwhelming personal nature of “DA RANT” is captured by the video, which shows snippets of Morray’s life as he hangs out in the studio, greets friends and strangers in his community, and lights up the stage.

The track arrives on the heels of “Broken Vows” and “Letter To Myself,” another harrowing look at his past. Both singles continue what has been a remarkable 2022 Morray including not just new music, but sold-out tour dates, and awards recognition.

Morray also attended his first GRAMMY Awards this year, where he earned nominations for Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance for J. Cole’s”m y l i f e” (also featuring 21 Savage). Those Grammy nominations are the culmination of a meteoric rise that started with “Quicksand,” a GOLD-certified hit that reached the Billboard Hot 100, from his critically acclaimed debut album Street Sermons. Morray joined J. Cole on The Off-Season Tour and was a standout performer at Dreamville Fest. He also performed at Fayetteville’s Juneteenth Jubilee, marking his first-ever performance as a headliner in his hometown.

Now, with “DA RANT,” Morray showcases his ability to turn pain into art, inspiring listeners with his remarkable journey along the way.
