Raury Deshawn Tullis (born June 10, 1996) is an American singer-songwriter and rapper from Atlanta, Georgia.^[1] He is known for his eclectic sound mixing soul, hip hop and folk.^[1][2][3] He was born and raised in Stone Mountain, Georgia. He was also a member to the C5 Georgia Youth Foundation.^[4][5]

Raury released his debut mixtape Indigo Child, on August 25, 2014. The mixtape reached many ears and the success of his mixtape led to a record deal with Columbia Records.

On All We Need, Raury is at his best when he makes his hip-hop influences plainer on tracks like “Woodcrest Manor II” and “Trap Tears.” Elsewhere, the 19 year-old artist sometimes gets drowned out by the weightiness of the themes he’s wrestling. Raury is a genre migrant who exists adjacent to the rap world without sounding much like it, and All We Need isn't the transcendent project that’s been foreshadowed since he became a blog darling.

Early life[edit]

Raury Deshawn Tullis was born on June 10, 1996, in Stone Mountain, Georgia. It was at age fourteen when Raury decided that he wanted to work with music for the rest of his life. When he was fifteen he started to record and produce music in his friends basement. At that time he was writing songs and putting together projects, but he was too shy to put it out there. Influenced by 2Pac, a lot of his early music was sad, aggressive, and about love. His music told stories and he used music as a tool to express himself.^[6] In high school, Raury played guitar in a cover band. In 2014, the year Raury graduated, he threw a music festival called Raurfest on his 18th birthday. He then issued a free digital download of his mixtape Indigo Child, and led him to his popularity.^[7]

All We Need is the debut studio album by American singerRaury. It was released on October 16, 2015, by LoveRenaissance and Columbia Records.^[1]

Critical reception[edit]

All We Need received generally positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 67 based on 12 reviews, which indicates 'generally favorable reviews'.^[2]

Marcus Dowling of HipHopDX gave high praise to the album's multiple genre-hopping production and Raury's performance that evoke lyrics of optimism and melancholia reminiscent of Outkast and Arrested Development, concluding that 'This isn’t an album, it’s the spiritual essence of the joy beyond the pain.'^[7] Kyle Mullin of Exclaim! commented that Raury was more of a borrower of influences than finding his own style but gave praise to his messages and unique approach to sound, singling out 'Friends' as who he truly is, concluding that it 'bodes well for an eager young talent who not only has impeccable taste in mentors, but is also finding a strong voice of his own that's sure to inspire coming generations.'^[5] Jamie Milton of DIY praised Raury for channelling his madcap artistic vision into a focused debut record, concluding that 'It could be more unhinged, it could have been a chaotic, crazed mission statement – instead it’s further proof that Raury’s trade is in playing the unexpected hand.'^[4]

Harriet Gibsone of The Guardian was ambivalent towards the album, feeling the songs were lost in their own messages, saying that 'At times, Raury’s energy is more intriguing than his songwriting, and while the lack of cynicism in his lyrics is refreshing, you can’t help but question his decision to play the pop preacher.'^[6]Pitchfork writer Sheldon Pearce said the record felt like a rehash of his Indigo Child mixtape, noting that the songs have unrefined mixes of different genres and told the same tales, saying that 'With an album replete with Spanish guitar jams, wide-eyed hip-hop, and psychedelic rock k-holes, there isn't much ground left for Raury to cover.'^[8] Adam Kivel of Consequence of Sound admired Raury for spreading his view of the world but found it mired by his choice in mismatched instrumentals and vocal delivery, saying that 'All We Need's unflinching sincerity and positivity come with an equal portion of inconsistent, scattered focus.'^[3]
