Lor Scoota

Lor Scoota was an American rapper from Baltimore, Maryland. He also goes by the Twitter hashtag inspired nickname #ScootaUpNext. 

Lor comes from Pennsylvania Avenue, a section of the West Side of Baltimore with strong black musical history roots thanks to landmarks like The Royal Theatre, which hosted artists like Billie Holiday, Nat King Cole, The Temptations, and others. He attended Paul Laurence Dunbar High School in West Baltimore. 

Lor gained a lot of attention from his hit single "Bird Flu".  The song - about serving drugs - was played on the radio non-stop, received sick Baltimore Club edits, got a remix featuring DC’s Shy Glizzy, and was accompanied by a distinctive dance that has become a staple in Instagram videos.

 Lor has put out a number of volumes of a mixtape titled "Still N The Trenches". He began rapping at the age of eleven. He was co-signed by rapper Meek Mill.
