Be on the look out in January for the new video for "Ghetto Mindstate"
Warner Bros. Records/Asylum are pleased to announce that platinum-selling recording artist Lil Flip, a.k.a. The Freestyle King, has penned a deal with the label and is set to release his forthcoming album, I Need Mine, this Fall.
During the label transition, I Need Mine, was leaked to the public, because of this the CD will feature new songs for the Asylum/Warner Bros. Records release.
"Flip is one of the most innovative rappers who has earned national respect and attention," says Chairman & CEO Tom Whalley. "We are excited that he has joined the Warner Bros. family."
We are excited to be a part of the Warner Bros. Records/Asylum organization. They both understand what we are trying to accomplish with Flips career and I believe they are the best companies to execute our goals. One look at Asylums success and overall embracement of the Houston hip hop culture and Warners relentless dedication to their artists illustrates their competency and expertise to continue what Lil Flip started, says Flips Manager and entertainment lawyer, Sandy Lal of King Pin Entertainment Group.
The Houston born and bred rapper started his career in 2001 with the release of Leprechan, a CD that moved more than 100,000 units before Flip signed with a major label. He quickly caught the attention of Loud Records and went on to sell 500,000 copies of Leprechan, earning himself a gold plaque for his initial release.
In 2002, Loud closed its doors and Flip was moved to its parent company, Columbia Records (known now as Sony Urban). On Columbia, Flip released the platinum-selling Underground Legend spawning the hip-hop hits U See It, and The Way We Ball.
Flip took his success to the mainstream in 2004 with the release of his Top 5 charting platinum-plus CD, U Gotta Feel Me, that gave us the chart-topping summer smashes Sunshine, and the Pac Man spin-off Game Over.
We held out on releasing this album on Sony because the set up was never right and I felt that my fans deserved the best from me. Ive written and recorded a bunch of songs that Im sure my fans will love and now that I am with Warner Bros. Records/Asylum I am confident that I am in the right place to take my career to the next level, says Lil Flip.
A teenage Flip was discovered by DJ Screw and was knighted the Freestyle King by Screw for his ability to drop rhymes quicker than most of his counterparts. Soon after that, Flip started his own label at the age of sixteen (16) with a partner and caught the attention of the nation. Staying true to his lessons with DJ Screw, Flip has released more than 10 mixtapes over the past five years selling tens of thousands of them each independently. Some people are born for success. Flip is one of them.
Platinum Rapper's Exit is Negotiated by Sandy Lal Kingpin's CEO -- Flip's Lucky Charm -- Takes I Need Mine Masters With Him
Sandy Lal, Lil Flip's attorney and manager, announced today that he has successfully negotiated the release of the multi-platinum rapper from his contract with the Sony Music Group. The terms of the release allow Flip to retain ownership of the master tapes of I Need Mine, the rapper's forthcoming CD, which had been scheduled for release on June 27.
"Flip and I are ecstatic," says Lal. "Our relationship with Sony has been quite fruitful. But Ive always believed that Flip's potential is virtually unlimited, and we're really eager to take it to the next level. Being able to walk away with the masters to I Need Mine is an absolute victory." Lal is the executive producer of I Need Mine.
A teenage prodigy out of Houston crowned King by the legendary DJ Screw, Lil Flip first made a name for himself with the Leprechaun. The significant regional success of this independent release led to a contract with Loud/Sony and the subsequent issuing of two albums. The first, Undaground Legend, was released in 2002 and included the hit single, "The Way We Ball." It quickly achieved platinum status, for sales of over one million units. The second, U Gotta Feel Me, was released in 2004 and included the hits "Game Over" and "Sunshine." It was ultimately certified double-platinum. (The latter, produced by Lal and his partner Carlos Hassan, climbed to number one on Billboard's Hot 100 Singles chart and won a BMI Urban Award and a BMI Pop Award for the Most Performed Song of 2004.)
Mr. Lal is widely appreciated for the depth of his devotion to his clients. He negotiated a joint venture for The Fugees's Pras -- under the rapper's Guerilla Entertainment label -- with the Universal Music Group at the end of 2004. In 2005 he engineered the deal that introduced Lil Flip's Lucky Nites liqueur to the world.
Mr. Lal has represented Lil Flip since the release of U Gotta Feel Me, guiding the artist's rise from local sensation to international star. "If I can be sure of one thing about the music business, it's that Sandy Lal has my back," says Flip. "Usually, its like the labels have all the power. No one else could have negotiated a release so favorable to me as an artist -- and I got to take my masters with me! Incredible."
Sandy Lal is the chief executive of the New York-based Kingpin Entertainment Group.
