Word about me had spread really quick in Atlanta so when I released my first song and project, the people really took to it, especially in the musical scene in Atlanta. Kenny Burns picked up on it, and it was getting so much attention. From that point on, I dropped "God's Whisper". We released the project when I was 17, 18, and it really just took off. I had my first festival - we called it RaurFest, but it was really just me performing and like 500 people showed up before the project was even out. But it just started off with just a teenager garnering the respect of his hometown before he even steps out into the world. You think about OG Maco and ILoveMakonnen. The one thing that got me out of that rut definitely had to be Kid Cudi's Man on the Moon album. It helped me get comfortable in my own skin. I was born with the name Raury, so just based off of that, I grew up with the stigma of.I was always treated differently because my name wasn't Josh or Keith or something normal. All my life, I always heard, what, that's a weird name. Every now and then growing up, I always had to worry about that but it also imprinted in my brain that I wasn't like other people.
