Lil Flip....The Return

It’s been three years since Lil’ Flip released his two-times platinum double album U Gotta Feel Me. After taking what he describes as a “break” from the industry, the Southside Houston native is finally ready to jump back in. Flip is gearing up to drop his fourth solo LP, I Need Mine, through a newly signed deal with Asylum and Warner Bros. Records. In addition to revamping his album, which the 25-year-old MC claims was leaked last year by his former label Sony, the Screwed Up Click vet has been busy promoting his liquor brand, Lucky Nites, and establishing his Clover G Records roster.
Although he’s got a lot to show for his time away, Lil’ Flip is still often criticized for taking a hiatus after his public feud with T.I. The two started beefing over who deserved the King of the South distinction and came to blows after T.I. dissed Flip on the radio in his hometown.

While Flipper maintains he was busy trying to get released from his thick ties with Sony, other public riffs with Paul Wall, Slim Thug, and his former manager Hump all seem to have gotten the best of him. In Flip’s time away from the game, Houston rap has managed to finally break through nationally. While he acknowledges H-Town’s commercial success, Flip insists it wouldn’t have been possible without the formula he helped pioneer on his first album, 2000’s The Leprechaun.
