Atlanta, GA recording artist Oren Major drops off "Holy Water" the first single from his upcoming project, "Black Privilege." (Release Date TBA) The soulful piece touches on some of the biggest issues he faces as a black man living in America, including religion, politics and racism. This track also features Wave Chapelle, a fellow up and coming artist whose popularity has exploded since the release of his "Overtime" project.
Oren Major, originally from St Louis, MO but currently residing in Atlanta, GA, is a self-described "aggressively conscious lyricist with a unique, raw style." The content in his music connects with listeners on a deep-rooted level like that of a young Kanye West. His influences of J. Cole and Lauryn Hill also add to his sound with a refreshing amount of honesty, emotion, and vulnerability. He has been well received since the release of his debut album Blinded by Ambition in January of this year, skyrocketing to over 50k monthly listeners on Spotify. And although he is only recently beginning to earn recognition, he has been writing music for the past decade and is definitely here to stay.
