Added on February 21, 2025 inEntertainment News Cards

After what feels like an eternity of anticipation—seriously, did we all just time travel back to the ’90s waiting for an album?—Morray is finally gracing us with his first-ever album, Long Story Short. Now, if you’re a fan like I am, you’ve probably been on this emotional rollercoaster, swaying between elation and the bitter pangs of impatience. The North Carolina sensation, who made waves with his 2021 mixtape Street Sermons, has kept us on the edge of our seats since he burst onto the scene. Remember that moment when he teamed up with J. Cole and 21 Savage on “m y . l i f e”? Yeah, that track racked up a staggering 483 million streams—and counting. I mean, how many times can one dude dominate Spotify without dropping his own album? It’s like grabbing a fancy dinner reservation but getting served snacks instead! But fear not, because Long Story Short promises to deliver the soulful storytelling and vocal prowess that Morray has been dazzling us with. And isn’t that what we’ve all been waiting for? Buckle up, because we’re diving deep into this sonic journey that he describes as a “piece of my soul.” Is it finally time for us to feast? Let’s find out!

One of the top rapper/singer hybrids in the game, Morray, is back and with his first-ever album, Long Story Short. Overall, fans have been (im)patiently waiting a long time for this. The only project we have from the North Carolina artist is his 2021 mixtape Street Sermons. Granted he’s only been releasing music professionally since the start of the 2020s decade. But still, with how much talent he wields, it feels like his debut album was well overdue. As most of you know, he broke through in 2021 with his feature on J. Cole‘s The Off-Season cut “m y . l i f e” with 21 Savage. It’s gone to be one of the favorites from the record, accumulating nearly half a billion streams. To be exact, it sits at 483,686,508. plays on Spotify.

But he’s obviously much more than a features artist. “Quicksand,” “Bad Situations” and “Low Key” all have picked over 15 million streams. Songs like these display high levels of grit, determination, storytelling and impressive vocal range. That all lands on Long Story Short, which Morray describes as a “piece of my soul.” He expressed his gratitude for his fans waiting on him and how much went into the record. “It’s been a long road, filled with moments of doubt and growth,” he begins. “And I know it’s been a minute since I’ve shared new music with you all. Life sometimes has a way of teaching us lessons we aren’t ready for, but through it all, your support never wavered. For that, I am forever grateful.” Morray leaves off by hinting at more to come. “I promise, it’s worth the wait. Long Story Short, the journey has only just begun. 🙏🏾”
