Raury (Ft. Donnie Trumpet) • "Like A Star"
The creative talents behind the success of The Social Experiment band are no newcomers to this Chicago scene. They've all helped pave the way for the success many locals have experienced, and following the release of Donnie Trumpet's 2015 release Surf, Donnie and the rest of the band stepped out from Chance The Rapper's shadow and continued to jettison their own careers forward.
This past year Donnie Trumpet, The Social Experiment's trumpet player and band leader, has seen a lot of attention leading to some amazing collaboration with local artists as well as those outside of Chicago including D.R.A.M. and of course Raury. The Atlanta artist appeared on Surf alongside BJ The Chicago Kid on "Windows", and now Donnie returns the favor by producing "Like A Star", Raury's latest in a series of recent releases. "Like A Star" delivers all the complex and powerful instrumentation you'd expect to hear from Donnie, but it also demonstrates Raury's broad talents. Rapping, singing, changing pace and cadences throughout, "Like A Star" has earned several more listens just to fully appreciate all that it has to offer.
