Raury said between songs, “Most people think music is just about the entertainment, but music affects lives. His passion came across in all forms, from his pointed lyrics addressing social issues to his prominent stage presence. Patin said Raury hasn’t changed a bit since high school and has always been driven. “We went to summer camp together, so obviously that’s why he grabbed onto me.” “I’ve known him for years,” African-American studies sophomore Asile Patin said. While performing “ Cigarette Song,” off his first EP Indigo Child, he even serenaded an audience member. He danced, jumped, clapped and made his way off stage several times to greet his front-row fans. Following University Union’s special guest and opener, Demo Taped, Raury promised the crowd he would meet their energy level. His energy radiates, and the crowd is instantly captured.Īs a genre-bending artist, Raury mixed his unique style of hip-hop, folk and rock throughout the evening. The lights drop and the symbols crash with each distinct punctuation, as if Schine Underground was the stage for a slam-poetry contest. He meets the roar with the opening lines of “ Forbidden Knowledge” from his recently dropped album All We Need. Three bars in he bolts on stage, snags the microphone and the crowd erupts. Sitting cross-legged on the ground wearing the skinniest of skinnies, cowboy-esque boots and a silk baseball jacket, 19-year-old Raury awaits his grand entrance.
