Late last night (June 3), Houston rapper Lil Flip was in an automobile accident in the Southwest section of the city. As a result, the rapper's car has been totaled, and he was sent to a nearby hospital with wrist and neck injuries.

Reports state that Flip is recovering, and details of the accident and injuries are still forthcoming. A spokesperson from the rapper's camp said, "We are hoping for a speedy recovery."

The rapper is presently at work on Holla Back, to be released on his own Clover G Records on July 29th. The release will be distributed through BCD Music Group. Previously, Flip had been a platinum-selling recording artist for both Sony, and Warner Brothers Records.

His last release was 2007's I Need Mine [click to read].

UPDATE: In the last 24 hours, Lil Flip's manager/attorney has vehemently denied the rapper ever being in an automobile accident, deeming reports "bogus." Representatives at BCD Music Group stand by the reports that they received directly from the rapper, indicating an accident and subsequent hospitalization.

In any event, HipHopDX is pleased to hear that the rapper is healthy and well.
