Going it alone is always a gamble and the outcome is never really certain. For an artist, it takes talent, hard work, perseverance and a lot of luck; but if the work that Lil Flip has done so far is any indication of future success, it is fairly certain that he has is seeking to redeem worldwide recognition. 

The strength of his true motivation, though is, as he says, “Family, God, and fans”, going on to add “Without the fans, I really don't know where I would be. In October through November he will be touring cities throughout Texas. After that he will be adding another smaller tour to coincide with the album drop December in December world.  

Lil Flip's repertoire includes most everything in the business, from releasing hit single's, to being signed, and now as an independent artist,

His latest project to be released is called Respect Me. On this record, Lil Flip makes his intentions known. It is clear that he is working very hard to hold on to and solidify that independence, making a name for himself his way. He is quoted as saying, “I'm really just working on how lyrical I can really be. And a lot of people don't think southern rappers can be lyrical, so I'm really trying to focus on that the most. And this is going to be raw and uncut; what I really know in the rawest form.”

But this new project isn't the only thing he's been applying his talents. He has stated that he will be putting out 12 mixtapes even before his real album comes out. The album will be entitled Ahead Of My Time and is scheduled for release in December 2009.

In addition to dividing his time and efforts between the 12 mixtapes and his album, he will also be making music videos for all his singles and coming out with a video album as well. In response to a question about why he markets his music the way he does now, he stated. “With record sales being at a all time low, the Internet is a great way to get your music out there and for it to be sold.”

On some of the mixtapes that are scheduled for release, he will be rapping over beats to other artis's music. Reasonable Clout is one of those mixtapes where he can be heard rapping over Jay-Z's beats. On another one, called Ready To Fly, he will be laying down his rap over beats by B.I.G. With All Eyes On Flip, you'd probably be right to guess that it will be done over 2Pac beats as well.

In the end, Lil Flip is, if anything, energetic and driven. He is also full creativity and new ideas. He seems to truly enjoy the challenges of being independent and seems to have no ambivalence about his decision to have no major record label supporting him.

Some might see his single minded focus and confidence in himself as egotistical, but it is the music which will ultimately determine how fans and music history will judge this artist.
