Orbitron - B-Boy Universal (2007)

A new (at least to me) hip-hop artist performing under name Obritron just released his first album B-Boy Universal. His debut compilation offers some interesting singles for lovers of the genre, but he will probably have to work hard to become a little more known…

For his first solo LP, Orb chose to work with upstart Seattle music producer Alonzo a.k.a. “Big Zo” and veteran 206 Dj Tecumseh forming the foundation for BeaconSkillz.  With Zo’s Beacon Hill home as the inspirational base for production, recording and mixing, the BeaconSkillz team set out to create a record that was an authentic reflection of Orb’s passion for hip-hop culture.  Orbitron’s debut LP entitled B-Boy Universal is an example of an authentic voice in Seattle’s growing hip-hop movement.  His music is a true reflection of the creativity, hard work and warm smile that Orb brings with him to every hip-hop event throughout the world.  Orbitron is the real deal, no artificial additives or preservatives necessary.

Orb began his life journey amidst the chaos provided by the legendary streets of South Central Los Angeles.  During his youth, which came in the wake of both the collapse of the Black Panther Party and the rapid rise of the drug- gang culture of Crips, Bloods, and the LAPD , Orb’s family made a difficult move to Las Vegas hoping to begin a more stable life for he and his siblings (more).
