Last we heard from Orie, he was fighting for his life, determined to prove his mettle on the Battlefield of the music game. Four months later with nary a Booth feature in the meantime, and fans may be starting to wonder whether the St. Louis native’s fallen under (figurative) enemy fire. Well, worry no longer – making its world premiere on our frontpage, the latest leak off Orie’s long-awaited street album finds the emcee going strong, reaching For the Stars in hopes of someday attaining hip-hop legendhood. Though centered around a different metaphor for the hustle, this joint captures the same determined vibe as the previous cut, with the headliner’s stark guitar harmonics and syncopated percussion setting the stage for bars that drip with steely resolve. Willing to sacrifice everything – except his artistic integrity – for a shot at greatness, this up-and-comer’s got the mindset of a winner (no Charlie Sheen). Those digging this pensive ode to the grind can look forward to another world premiere every Monday leading up to the April 25, release of Orie’s Booth-sponsored street album, Twenty-20.

Orie continues to show growth as an artist. Baby steps toward those stars is the plan and it sounds like he is well on his way. Now, how long will it take him to get there?

I must say this is probably one of my favorite Orie tracks to date! it speaks! and the singing sounds half decent. Ive been following him since his first project "What a Black Man Wants" which was pretty awesome to say the least and this second single of he new project makes me even more excited about this next tape

I liked the beat at first, then the song got old less than halfway thru. Got really bored after a while, the flow didn't keep me in it and the hook is kinda lame... Sounds kinda like a bootlegg 808s and Heartbreaks cut.

Its sad that I got introduced to Orie on his later work "Last Semester". This one is really good and again his production work is top notch.
