Morray Helps Spread Hometown Holiday Love Through Christmas Giveback For Hundreds Of Kids
Fayetteville, NC – 2021 HipHopDX Rising Star Morray is all about paying it forward after the amazing year he’s had.
Prior to signing to Interscope Records, Morray saw his breakout hit “Quicksand” reach No. 65 on the Billboard Hot 100 and capture the attention of JAY-Z and J. Cole, the latter who was so impressed with the Rookie of the Year nominee, he put Morray on both his tour and platinum-selling album.
Morray capped off his year with not one but two Grammy nominations thanks to the J. Cole feature, “my.life.”
On Thursday (December 23), the “Quicksand” rapper joined forces with barber and social media influencer Vic Blends for a Christmas giveaway that spread nothing but positivity across the community.
Taking over their Segra Stadium, Fayetteville radio station Foxy 99 reported the hometown heroes doled out gifts, Instagram photo-ops and even free haircuts.
Despite surprising the natives, it was Fayetteville Mayor Mitch Colvin who shocked both the Street Sermons orator and Vic Blends with keys to the city for their dedication to the people.
“The key is to always give back,” Morray responded on Instagram.

The event was in conjunction with non-profit organization The Two-Six Project, which helped supply the hundreds of kids in attendance with food, winter clothes, and even more Christmas gifts.
A day prior, on Wednesday (December 20), Morray and Vic Blends stirred up more positive pandemonium at a Fayetteville Walmart.
