Morrayis in a chipper mood at New Yorks Quad Studios.

Seven, the 32-year-old says.

Im loaded, bro.

Morray

Aliyah Monai*

His vigor to drop is understandable.

He raves, 2021 was probably the best year of my life to date.

Yall could have asked for a picture.

Now, hes out of his prior arrangement and is releasingLong Story Shorton Empire Records.

Im fresh in the game, fresh from regular jobs, no manager, no lawyer, no nothing.

You start finding out things, and now its like, conflict of interest popped up.

Song credits, what does that mean?

What does a songwriter mean?

Can your lawyer also be your managers lawyer?

Im looking up [what] Im going through.

And even Google was telling me, Bitch, youre stupid.

So Im like, I cant be stupid too much longer if everybody give me the information.

Unable to release music, he started doing social media skits to stay in the public light.

The content was funny, yet his real life was anything but.

The project represents a timestamp of him processing his feelings on his first industry go-around.

But its not all glum.

Cole Will Celebrate 10 Years of ‘2014 Forest Hills Drive’ With MSG ShowJ.

Nigga brought the weed, he strapped up, Im strapped up, Morray remembers.

The project was predominantly done inNorth Carolinaand Los Angeles, where he currently lives.

Even his first project,Street Sermons,referenced Christianity.

Every sound is gospel.

Every sound to me is from God.

So it should be easy to put back in what it came from.

I dont give a fuck how much accolades I got, Im about to be doing 300-500 cap rooms.

Going forward, Morray hopesLong Story Shortis the start of a veritable anthology of music.

Long Story Shortis going to tell you where I was, he explains.

The next album going to tell you where Im at and where Im going.

And then thenextalbums going to tell you exactly where I want to be and where Im at, hopefully.

But I have to live life.

He may have had a long gap before his sophomore season, but Morray is taking it in stride.

Im not going to sit here and blame nobody for my mistakes.

Now I know better.

Im still blessed with the light to be able to have this second go around.
