Orlando T. York Sr. (F.L.O.W.) on SoundBetter

I am the lyrical translator responsible for writing, recording, and performing The Lyrical Genius EP; 5 tracks that capture the essence of the art of being an emcee. Slick wordplay, storytelling, an in-depth depiction of life after college, and the harsh realities that come with it, and even something nice and smooth for the ladies.

Follow and Listen to Orlando's Words, who the hell is Orlando? He is the Lyrical Genius. Born and raised in Sumter, South Carolina. F.L.O.W. picked up a pen in the 6th grade and hasn't put it down since. Heavily inspired by the Hip-Hop scene of both New York and Atlanta, The Lyrical Genius was gifted with the ability to translate his perception of life into rhyme form. The Lyrical Genius EP is available on all major streaming platforms featuring both singles, "Opposition (Intro)" and "Slow Doe".

The different forms of writing that I specialize in include songwriting (primarily Hip-Hop albeit R&B is also available), poetry, literature, college essays, resumes, cover letters etc.

On the consistent basis I work on 3-5 verses at a time which include covers to music that are currently out as well as original topics like the EP that was previously mentioned.

Orlando did an awesome job. His voice fits perfectly to our old shool beat we had and he was always quick with his communication.
