"iNSTABiLiTY" is basically about an unstable young man who cannot stay in one place and is completely uncertain about everything that life has to offer. He's not afraid of taking risk, always searching for something new and is willing to go anywhere he possibly can in order to find himself and his true purpose in this world. With the music in this beat tape, I tried to make each track connect to the character so the listeners can follow and connect to his state of mind. The character on the cover is indeed a reflection of myself searching for meaning and peace in this world while using and relaying on music.

We’re all looking for our own little slice of peace in this world aren’t we? American-born, London- based, hip-hop producer- Orlando Turner certainly thinks so. The first single ‘My place in this world’ from his recently dropped full length album ‘Instability’ explores his own definition of peace and the album as a whole touches on the larger concepts of belonging, uncertainty, and sense of purpose.

Turner has been making beats since the age of 13, and in a way the album explores his own personal journey having moved from Alabama to Florida and Miami to LA, before finally finding his niche in London.

The album features 16 tracks spanning a variety of sounds and production techniques. From the sample-heavy beats of ‘Imperfect Voyage’ to the built from scratch style of ‘Cryin’ Clouds’ the album covers everything from soulful hip-hop to jazzy beats and electronica to break heavy funk.

It’s a journey definitely worth documenting, and reminds us that despite life’s ups and downs and moments of instability, finding that sense of peace through music makes it all right in the end.
