Raury and Big K.R.I.T. share a distinctly Southern viewpoint and introspective disposition, so it was only a matter of time before they linked up in the studio. With his debut album All We Need right around the corner, Raury taps Krit for a verse on his new single "Forbidden Knowledge.
KRIT and Raury get philosophical over some shimmering reflective choir and the same distorted kick drums that plays a big role in "Devil's Whisper." Smooth jazzy guitar makes the occasional appearance, as Raury channels his inner Andre 3000, dropping natural imagery and posing all kinds of thought-provoking rhetorical questions.
All We Need out October 16, pre-order it on iTunes and get "Friends" & "Devil's Whisper" now.
Quotable Lyrics
Forbidden knowledge is too great for a man
Think if man could read your mind, you think that man understands
How to use it with integrity, not conquering land
It'd be good if we increased the lifespan, well that's forbidden knowledge
