Released in March 2022, "Still Here" marked Morray’s first major drop of the year following his meteoric rise with Street Sermons . By pairing his gospel-inflected melodies with Cordae’s surgical lyrical precision, the track creates a perfect balance between soulful reflection and hard-hitting commentary.
The track received praise from fans on platforms like Reddit's r/hiphopheads for its "soulful asf" vibe and for showcasing both artists' growth.
