Hailing from South East London, rapper Fliptrix has been creating a storm since 07’s Force Fed Imagery. Bringing intelligent, streetwise lyrics, high-energy delivery and a myriad of original and distinctive flows. A succession of scene stealing features later, and Fliptrix is ready to drop an album that will set the bar for rap albums extremely high in 2010.
Every song conveys a heartfelt message, with conceptual rhymes making this release not just another straight up rap record. The cleverly scribed Dream Coat to the self-reflecting My Soul, sit equally as comfortably with the straight up bangers like Monday To Sunday, which opens the album in ferocious style. Contributing production and storming vocals on Get Involved is the YNR general himself, Jehst. The rickety, pounding instrumental shows Billy Brimstone’s consistent ability to create the best hip hop the UK has to offer.
Following from his successful 2009, receiving airplay on BBC Radio One, Maida Vale Sessions and a slot on the 07 Electric Proms, producer, friend and long time collaborator Runone takes a third of the production of Fliptrix’s album on his shoulders. Bringing his unique instrumental style to the record, Runone’s beats tie the strong vocals together on this solid LP. Chemo, Jon Phonics, Verb T and 184 also provide fantastic production – making this LP a rich, diverse tapestry.
Fliptrix has been a consistent live performer in recent years, regularly tearing up open mics and being booked across the UK and Europe supporting various big acts including Foreign Beggars, Killa Kela, Taskforce, Jehst, Kyza, Mystro, Eksman, Loefah & Kromestar. Currently touring with Verb T and Kashmere, they continue to deliver exciting live performances across the country.
The very same charisma, energy and presence of his live show emanates through every song on Theory Of Rhyme, making this a necessary listen for early 2010.
