Raury Performs "Cigarettes," Covers Kanye's "Blood On The Leaves" Live On Ebro In The Morning

Raury keeps the promo run going with a stop at Hot97's Ebro In The Morning to mix it up with the station's tastemakers and perhaps rack-up another crucial co-sign or two. After waxing a bit on his Stone Mountain, Georgia upbringing and bragging a bit how well equipped he is for a life off the grid, the young soul-slinger confirms once and for all that he is officially at the age of majority. Your boy's 18, fam. Chill with all the teeny bopper rhetoric (guilty as charged.)

After clearing up his the matter of his age, the next of kin in the now endless bloodline of Atlanta's left-field ism jumps into an acoustic performance of his single "Cigarettes," before closing with his own touch on Kanye's "Blood On The Leaves." Imperfect, but ambitious, the young crooner morphs the battle-cry of Ye's brooding Yeezus entry into his own smoothed-out and somehow still raw treatment. Co-sign? Check. All of this follows his stop at Sway's studio just yesterday, where he was found going off the dome over fellow ATLiens Outkast's "Elevators." Watch Raury woo Ebro and Rosenberg below.
