Detroit’s staple lyricists Elzhi (formerly Slum Village) and Phat Kat have linked with Flip to bring you hip-hop in its purest form on “Without Warning.” Little introduction is needed for such a record, sealed with a dope visual by Mad Hiaz.

On February 17th Flip is set to release his long-awaited producer compilation album Reflections via Ill Adrenaline Records. On it He links up with some United States’ heavyweights, blessing the masses with featured emcees that will include Guilty Simpson, and Killah Priest along with others like Kev Brown, Tragic Allies and more. Mark your calendar folks: February 17th Reflections will be available digitally and in almost every physical form.

As stated previously, Flip is a hip-hop producer based out of Austria with a background of 20+ years in the game. His sound is heavily reminiscent of Hip-Hop’s golden era, the boom-bap years. Yes his production is raw, gritty and pure hip-hop, but it’s not stuck in a time machine by any means. Flip is not afraid to experiment and incorporate some synthesizer-heavy or non-formulaic layouts when he’s building beats. All these elements will definitely be present on Reflections.
