Morae Ebony Ruffin (born September 9, 1992), known professionally as Morray, is an American rapper and singer from Fayetteville, North Carolina. He received widespread recognition in 2020 with his debut single "Quicksand" and released his debut mixtape Street Sermons in 2021.
Growing up in Fayetteville, North Carolina, Ruffin was raised on R&B and gospel music, singing in his local church by the age of four. He moved to Lebanon, Pennsylvania at age 12 and lived there for six years before moving back to North Carolina. While in Pennsylvania, he met a rap collective called SGS which inspired him to start making music. With stints in juvenile detention at age 19, he served jail time in his early 20s.
While raising a child, he worked construction and recorded music on the side. In 2014, he released his first song, which he recorded for his wife's birthday, and started taking music seriously. In 2020, he lost his job at a call center and chose to pursue his music career to support his three children.
