North Carolina native L’Orange finds his signature samples from pre-1950s jazz, soul and radio, stitching together a sound that acknowledges his penchant for classic film noir and shadowy motifs. L’Orange albums are often cinematic and narrative in structure, and showcase the artist's perpetual search for beauty in the dark. Since 2011, he has put out 6 albums, collaborating with MC’s such as Kool Keith, Blu and Jeremiah Jae. His latest release, a collaborative album with Mr. Lif entitled The Life & Death of Scenery on Mello Music Group is out now.
