Raury has been placed at No.4 on the BBC's Sound Of 2015 list, after George The Poet kicked off the top 5 countdown yesterday.
The Atlanta musician, who is one of just two US artists who made it into the longlist, is only 18-years-old - and has already been championed by Outkast, toured with SBTRKT and contributed a song for the Lorde-curated Hunger Games soundtrack.

Speaking to BBC News about his inclusion in the longlist, Raury said, "It's pleasantly, overwhelmingly, honouring. I remember the time Frank Ocean was on it. I was like 'man, hopefully I can be an artist of that calibre.'"
"I've been writing rap lyrics since I was eight. I made my first musical creation when I was three. It was a song called 'Oh Little Fishy'."
The countdown of the top 5 of the BBC's Sound of 2015, which is voted for by by 139 DJs, continues this week - culminating in the winner being announced on Friday (9 December).
Other artists featured in the shortlist include James Bay, Rae Morris, Raury, Wolf Alice and Years & Years.
