Lil Flip Blasts Sony Records, Speaks on New Album

Lil' Flip's been targeted bymany. First, critics slammed him for lines like "I treat you like milk. I'll do nothing but spoil you." Then Tip got out of prison and went to war with The Leprechaun. But along the way, Flipper found time to make a new album.

TheLP was close to seeing the light of day when moreobstacles were thrown in Flip's direction. Recently, he spoke out, stating thathis former label,Sony betrayed him. This caused the Houston representativeto makea jump to Asylum Records.

So, what lead to the jump? According to him, it seems Sony was responsible for his album leaking.

"All I know is my copy is watermarked, I didn't leak it and the only other people that have it is Sony...The point of taking the masters was so we could release the album exactly how it was. Now we have to regroup," he said to Billboard about his ex-label.

Flip went on to state that he feels he was never fullybacked by the label.

"Everybody wanted to sign me and I had fans...With that type of ammunition, Sony was able to take me to platinum with barely any promotion. I had two videos and went over platinum. Most rappers need three to four videos to go platinum. Imagine if someone was really behind me. At this point in my career I can't settle for part of a promotional campaign, and Sony would not give me 100%."

The deals are not over. Flip isalsoin talksto put on his Clover G label. For now, his focus is on regrouping, and prepping I Need Mine for a 2007 release.
