    Dray blends confessional rap and Afro-fusion on “stupidity”

    DRAY has released “Stupidity,” the opening track and lead single from his debut EP, Reflection.

    The London-based artist, who is from Lagos, describes the sound as “Afro-Reflection,” combining confessional rap with Afro-fusion. The song examines the desire for validation, addiction, isolation within the diaspora and the experience of pursuing music without support from the people closest to you.

    At the centre of “Stupidity” is a question about seeking approval from people who may not understand or appreciate what you are doing: whether continuing to look for that validation is foolishness or a way of coping.

    The song is performed in English and Nigerian Pidgin and introduces the themes explored across Reflection.

    “Stupidity” is the first release from DRAY’s debut EP.

    The track is now available on streaming platforms.
