HipHopWired Reports
Houston rapper Lil Flip has resurfaced from the underground and has already placed his foot on the gas as he is already prepared for his next release. Entitled, Respect Me, the upcoming project is set to hit stores on September 29.
His upcoming work is set to be produced by J Silva and will feature the likes of Keyshia Cole, E-40, Daz Dillinger and more. Oh, and of course it wouldn't make sense for any artist to release an album without the feature king, so of course Lil Wayne will also be leaving his mark on Flip's album. The first single is titled, “Da #1 Fly Boy.”
The album will also feature tracks such as “Respect Me” which brings fans into the life of the rapper as it delivers a scope of his past and present conducts and “Shawty Wanna Thugg” which should re-create the R&B magic that he had from his 2004 album, U Gotta Feel Me, on the track “Sunshine.”
For those that have been too busy snapping their fingers and making out with their cell phones in Hip-Hop, Lil Flip gained the peak of his notoriety through his beef with rapper T.I. and cuts like “Game Over” and “The Way We Ball.”
“The thing about this album is that it's so reflective of me, my music, life and lifestyle," says the 28-year-old Lil Flip. "Trust me; everything I rap about is based on truth. So when I rhyme dirty style about the Bentleys, the clubs, the platinum, the girls, my life's lessons or whatever, it's not bragging, it's just fact."
Flip will be distributing the record of course through E1 Entertainment. The independent label has clearly dug its foot into the dirt and maintained its stance as artists have been flocking there in order to get their musical projects out. What once was deemed to be the graveyard label has clearly made a resurrection and has now developed itself into the premier place to be if an artist wants to be an artist and release their own music without the pressures of major labels and record executives.
Not taking anything away from Flip and his mark as a rapper, but some may have been under the impression that when he made the song “Game Over,” it might have actually been like a swan song, ironically. Let' s see if he can still bring the heat.
