Respect Me

Long before Houston became a must-see destination for A&R executives and trend sniffing tastemakers eagerly scoping out the next big thing, the steamy southern fried city was HQ for a cadre of hungry, determined soldiers. Enter Lil Flip. The pride of Houston, Texas, aka the Freestyle King, has been bringing hometown, homegrown hip-hop style and sonics to appreciative audiences since the late 90s: both as an underage protg of the late legendary mix tape visionary, DJ Screw, and on his own hugely successful CDs. Whether keeping it totally underground on classic joints or unleashing his trademark flow on chart-topping releases, Lil Flip has grown from being a regional contender to an A-list heavyweight champ. With RESPECT ME, Lil Flip continues to bring the syrup slow, crunk rich vibe that has become expected of him.
