Music veteran Orrin "O.B."Bolton has announced the creation of Rock'n Hood Records and the formation of the Rock'n Hood Entertainment group ."We've tailored our record label specifically, to showcase an assortment of artists, bands and issues that have, for too long been ignored by the main stream music industry.

"O.B" began his musical career, recording and performing in partnership with his brother, pop superstar Michael Bolton. As head of Complex 1 Productions, OB later secured a deal with RCA Records producing two albums for his "little brother". The debut album featured eight original songs, helping to establish Michael's credentials as a singer/ songwriter. In 1983 "O.B." headed Orro Corp serving as Lieber and Krebs's "fifth column", spearheading the creation of Michael Bolton's pro-active national fan base. Rock'n Hood Records will work in conjunction with Vic Steffens of the Horizon Music Group. Vic Steffen's recording facility and extensive experience in the recording and production realm, assures a full range of opportunity for artistic expression, to all the artists, songwriters and record producers of the Rock'n Hood Entertainment Group.

Recent appearances on the OPRAH and LEEZA shows sparked renewed international interest in Orrin Bolton.

Rock'n Hood Record's first release, scheduled for April 20th, will be "OB's" own CD, aptly entitled FREEDOM, and "will set the pace for subsequent releases," said Bolton.
