Lil’ Flip

Amid the flourishing underground rap scene of Houston, Lil’ Flip increased to quick and prosperous fame after his independently released 2000 album, The Leprechaun, broke to a national audience, prompting the young rapper’s signing to Universal Information immediately after. Nicknamed the Freestyle Ruler, a teen-aged Turn won the eye from the immortalized DJ Screw, who ushered the rapper into his loose-knit Screwed Up Click. The affiliation brought immediate respect for Turn throughout Texas along with the higher South, and his Leprechaun recording capitalized on that, shifting an impressive amount of models for an individually released recording. The album’s gradually mounting yet eventually wide reach and Flip’s younger appeal attracted Common Information, who authorized the 20-year-old to some major-label agreement in 2002 and released Undaground Story later in the entire year. Driven from the business lead single, “JUST HOW We Ball,” and a remix of “I COULD Perform Dat,” popular previously released around the Leprechaun, the recording extended Flip’s target audience nationally and heralded him among the South’s most encouraging youthful rappers of the first 2000s. In 2002, Turn came back with Undaground Story, a slick sophomore work. It would proceed practically unnoticed. 2 yrs later, Turn returned towards the scene using the even more expansive double-disc arranged U Gotta Experience Me. The arranged spawned a few sizable hits, specifically “Video game Over (Turn)” and “Sunlight,” and brought Turn the national popularity he’d always been courting. With this fame arrived competition, and it wasn’t a long time before Turn was beefing with T.We. for the proper to don the crown of Ruler from the South. Turn held his profile open public not merely with such dilemma but also having a string of mixtapes, especially the Freestyle Kings series, which reached its 6th quantity in 2005. Flip’s following album was prepared to check out that 12 months, but in the last second, Sony refused release a it as well as the rapper was with out a label for another three years. I WANT Mine finally made an appearance in 2007 like a dual CD around the Asylum label. Two collaborations adopted. 2008’d All Eyez on Us discovered the rapper partnering with Outlawz member Youthful Commendable, while 2009’s Qualified was documented with Young Cash member Gudda Gudda. Another long-delayed recording, Before My Time, got this year 2010 with recordings dating back again to 2007. The LP made an appearance on Flip’s personal Clover G’s Information, exactly the same imprint that could issue 2013’s recording The Dark Dr. Kevorkian. He authorized using the SoSouth label for 2015’s Un Jefe which presented the solitary “IN MY OWN Pimp C Tone of voice.”
