Raury All We Need Review

All We Need is Raury with his debut album which endorses peace, unity, and happiness. Normally I'd wait a few days before reviewing a new album, in order to let the piece sink in and develop an open minded opinion, but no need for All We Need. Atlanta native Raury introduced his unique sound to us at the beginning of 2015 with a 6 track ep titled Indigo Child.  Shorty after he made the XXL Freshmen Class of 2015 cover, really making a mark by having the best freestyle out of the class in my opinion. Today, October 16, 2015 Raury released his debut album All We Need. 

If you like and understand The Beatles or John Lennon then you should love Raury. He promotes unity, peace, and fun, while addressing political issues that I agree are important for everyone to know about. I personally wouldn't categorize Raury's music as rap or hip hop; although after that Freshmen freestyle and songs like "Forbidden Knowledge" proves he can be consider a rapper.

Unless I'm interpreting the title of the album wrong, I believe All We Need is reinstating John Lennon's phrase "All We Need Is Love," but instead is saying All We Need are the things he's addressing in the album, which are; Peace.Love.Unity.Knowledge and Freedom. I think that's it, but anyways I enjoyed the album a lot, and from a technical perspective the instruments were in unison. The strings on the guitar matched the presence, words, and feelings of the entire album. I rate the album 9 out of 10 for pure innovation.
