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.

Detroit consistently puts out quality music shown first with Motown and later with hip-hop. With artists like Guilty Simpson, Elzhi, Black Milk, Phat Kat and more calling the region home, Detroit could be said to be one of the Meccas of Hip-Hop. Now, a new crop of artists are repping The Motor City hard. Artists like Red Pill, Clear Soul Forces, Jahshua Smith, and this here MC and Production pairing, Nameless (producer) and Nametag (MC) are among the new set. The two have spent years contributing to Detroit classics on projects like Black Milk’s Popular Demand and Broken Wax, and Slum Village’s Dirty District Vol. 1 and Dirty District Vol. 2. Now, they are releasing their forthcoming project For Namesake. The album, which will be released April 16th via Brick Records, is going to be a great effort.
