"Woodcrest Manor II" is a mixture of all of Raury's talents in one. From his vocals, folky hip-hop influence and his own verse that is similar to an Andre 3000 style, Raury has made a case to continue to be in a lane all his own.
"Woodcrest Manor II" features a mesmerizing introduction before breaking into a dreamy beat.
At the 1:37 mark, Raury breaks into a smooth flow that happens to be a standout part of the track. In the background you can hear perfectly tuned synthesizers highlighting the deep nature of the lyrics.
On "Woodcrest Manor II" Raury seems to be addressing an old friend who he still reminisces about back in the days of Woodcrest. HotNewHipHop also mentions the Andre 3000 comparison which is undoubtedly uncanny. There is even a reference to Kanye West which seems to be the song of choice to celebrating and riding with your friends.
Raury's All We Need is scheduled to release on Friday, October 16. Empty Lighthouse will have a full review of the project. In the meantime, you can check out "Woodcrest Manor II" below.
