It’s only been a few seconds since Morray stepped foot in Complex’s Manhattan office and he’s already cracking jokes. Unfortunately, the office isn’t in full swing yet because of the pandemic, but he’s happy to be here, checking out photos of Zendaya and other former cover stars on the walls and greeting passersby. His upbeat, joyful energy is particularly striking considering how new he is to the industry. We’re used to up-and-coming artists being quiet during their first press runs, only speaking in muffled tones, but Morray says that just isn’t him.

One Year LaterOn March 12, 2020, one year ago, in an effort to control the spread of the novel coronavirus, the live industry effectively shut down after a coalition of major agencies and promoters announced they were suspending all shows.
On the exact same day, not insignificantly, a group of independent venue owners met to chart a course of action in the face of great adversity.
“I went to bed on March 12 with about 40 shows that weekend and when I woke up they were all gone,” James “Disco Donnie” Estopinal, Jr., Founder/CEO of Disco Donnie Presents told Pollstar as a part of this issue’s special survey (see Industry Survey).

Hip-hop and New York are synonymous with each other.
The genre was born in a Bronx apartment building in the early ‘70s, carried for years by New York greats in Nas, Jay-Z and the Notorious B.I.G. and found a fresh edge in newcomers like Fivio Foreign and the late Pop Smoke.
But recently, it isn’t just the city that never sleeps that’s bringing New York attention from hip-hop heads.

The Coronavirus pandemic of 2020 took the lives of countless loved ones and while a few Hip-Hop artists contracted the virus and were able to survive, Brooklyn’s Fred The Godson was not as lucky.
Before his untimely death, Fred The Godson was able to get some work done and his last visual done has just been release in “Gracias (Ascension Theme).” Reminding us of his lyrical prowess, Fred stays in the shadow and just lets the words speak for themselves. Rest in Power, King.
Keeping the scene in Kings County, Uncle Murda finds himself being watched by the ops when he hits up the PJ’s for his clip to “Bro Sh t.”
