Hailing from Charleston, West Virginia, country hip-hop artist David Morris is trailblazing a path throughout the country and the hip-hop scene beyond. As a singer-songwriter, David orchestrates a harmonious fusion of trap-style beats and the soul-stirring resonance of slide guitars, intermingled with the rustic allure of banjos, all underscored by irresistibly captivating hooks. His lyrical finesse interweaves seamlessly with relatable themes, crafting a unique musical tapestry. David’s music transcends boundaries, forming connections with fans representing diverse backgrounds, while simultaneously propelling the country music genre into uncharted territories. Since the release of his debut album in 2020, “Red, White, & American Blues,” he has been on an upward trajectory, delivering standout singles like the uplifting “Smalltown Queen,” the empathetic “Who Hurt You,” and the anthemic “Does He Know About Us.” As he’s been touring across the country on his “Heartbreak Hometown” tour, the country hip-hop artist has had a triumph year as he signed with Virgin Music Group, signed a publishing deal with Warner Chappel Music, and performed at CMA Fest 2023. Alongside that success, David has supported Russell Dickerson, Jelly Rolly, Kidd G, and several others across stages in the country. In 2020, David’s single “Carrying Your Love,” which samples Geroege Strait, went to the top of the charts peaking No. 3 on Trending Sounds within TikTok. The song placed Morris at No.12 on the Billboard Emerging Chart No.3 in digital sales country and No.12 in all-genre sales. Following that single, David released “Dutton Ranch Freestyle,” which followed the viral success of his previous release. On October 19th, “Dutton Ranch Freestyle” officially reached RIAA Gold Certification. David’s ongoing viral success continues to elevate his career to unprecedented heights, setting the stage for the release of his upcoming album, “Bored In The U.S.A.,” scheduled to debut on November 10th. When talking about the album, David is proud to put together a collection of songs that represent who he is. “I’ve always had a very eclectic taste in music. I grew up burning CDs with my friends putting songs from all genres together in one place. As different as they all sounded individually—as a playlist there was cohesion. It became the soundtrack to my summer. Season. Life. That’s what I wanted this album to be. Rooted in my Appalachian roots and love for country music but daring to bring in different genres and sounds to give fans a wider scope of who I am and bring back some nostalgia at the same time.
