Quick Chit-Chat with Flipside ~ Cc @FLIPSIDE_DK

• What inspires FLIPSIDE music? :  (Kage)
• Our music is mostly inspired by our environment, we grew up in Soweto so the life style and the people around us contributes, me and bless grew watching our oldest brothers rap and dress like hip-hop heads , that’s where the seeds were sown. Lwazi was drawn in by the growing trend, he discovered himself caught up in the vibe of rappers and hype of hip hop culture   
• The name FLIPSIDE, how did it come about and what does it mean? (bless)
• When we started back in 2003, everyone was on that Canibus, Talibkweli, and Immortal Technique vibe so when we came in we were big fans of your Lord Tariq and Peter Guns, Jaddakiss, Cassidy, Method Man, Big L and Joe Budden so we kind of adapted to the commercial flow and style of rapping. Kage came up to me this one morning and said, how about we call ourselves Flipside because we are very different from the rest of the rappers we were rolling with or going up against
• Besides spending your time in the studio, what do you guys do for fun? (lwazi)
• We don’t do much, we are not big on partying so we will probably chill in the hood, plug in the PlayStation,  get a movie or series and buy snacks and beverages.
• How do the new songs differ from the older material? :
• We are more precise compared to when we started, we can adapt to different styles of beats or musical genres so we can experiment and see what works but we still trying to get our very own signature sound.
• Can we expect any album this year (2013)? Any tours or gigs lined up this year? :
• For now we still working on promoting our digital mixtape “First Impression” we managed to shoot two videos for our singles #HABASHWE  and #Kasi (woza) as for gigs and tours will keep the supporters posted because we are currently negotiating a PR deal with Player Unlimited.
• What’s FLIPSIDE life motto? :
• Work smart and play smart
• Words of advice would you give to the young upcoming artists? :
• Love, respect, eat and pray for what you do that is one of the ways you will be able to produce quality results
