Full Lil' Flip Biography
Wesley Eric Weston, Jr. (born March 3, 1981 in Houston, Texas), better known as Lil' Flip, is an American rapper known for his freestyle ability, and for becoming one of the first Houston rap artists to become mainstream and nationally known. Lil' Flip was given the title of "Freestyle King" by the late DJ Screw. He is also a member of the Screwed Up Click.
He was featured in Pepsi's Yahoo! "Houston Mic Pass" with Chamillionaire, Trae, Chingo Bling, Bun B, Short Dawg, H.A.W.K, Magno and Mike D. In 2006 he featured on Playalitical's Code Green album on the single "Its Been One". He also recently was featured on Underground Chicano Rapper Mr. Capone-E's track "Drop Top Chevy" which also features fellow band label member Mr. Criminal.
Lil' Flip was also engaged in a high-profile battle with Atlanta rapper T.I., who heard that Flip insulted him onstage at a concert in Atlanta while he was incarcerated. T.I. believed that Flip mocked his claim as the "King of the South", but Lil' Flip denied the accusation. Apparently, T.I. only learned of the alleged insult through a friend of T.I.'s girlfriend. The two released numerous disses on mixtapes and on the radio, including T.I.'s "99 Problems (But Lil' Flip Ain't One)" over the beat of the similarly titled Jay-Z hit. T.I. crashed a concert in Atlanta and distributed posters featuring Lil' Flip wearing his leprechaun suit (from his debut album), which Flip countered by doing a show and digitally imposing T.I.'s head on an emaciated Ethiopian's body. The dispute came to a head when T.I. shot a video in Lil' Flip's neighborhood in Houston. According to Allhiphop.com, T.I. was on a Houston radio station talking about the situation between him and Lil' Flip, and during the visit managed to insult the neighborhood that Lil' Flip grew up in. The rapper was confronted by Lil' Flip and fellow Houston rapper Z-Ro, and a fight broke out between them. Gunfire broke out shortly after and those witnessing the altercation scattered. The feud has since been resolved behind closed doors thanks to Rap-A-Lot Records CEO J. Prince. Some speculative lingering hostility remains based on a variety of interviews since the conflict was defused. There is a video on the internet of eye-witnesses that say they saw the fight.
Mike Jones and Lil Flip: "Them big ol' plates they be wearing that look like dinner plates? Them diamonds are monkey. You need to take that monkey sh-- back cause you embarrassing us." Since then Lil Flip said in an interview that " I respect Pimp C opion , and I have no problem at what he said". And lately , Pimp C gave a shout out to Flip on Rap City , and said there wasn't any beef.
Flip has his own golden liquor brand, Lucky Nites (which is a blend of pineapple juice, amaretto, and premium vodka).
However, after an investigation proved that a South Carolina man (who Flip thought was part of a legitimate travel agency) purchased the ticket, a grand jury decided not to press any charges against him.
Undaground Legend is a second album by rapper Lil' Flip, his first nationally released album, which included the hit single "The Way We Ball" and a remix to his hit "I Can Do That". It was certified Platinum even though it didn't get much promotion from Loud Records. In the hip-hop documentary Beef 3, during the segment focusing on Lil' Flip's beef with rapper T.I., Flip claims that T.I. copied the title of his album Urban Legend from this album.
U Gotta Feel Me is Lil' Flip's third album is on Sony Records. This album was more commercial and featured Ludacris, Three 6 Mafia, and others. The album debuted at Number #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and Number #3 on the Hip-Hop/R & B charts. It quickly became a crossover success with the Billboard Hot 100 Top 20 single "Game Over". The single used the Namco Pac-Man beat and the video showed Lil' Flip getting a tattoo while rapping to the single. The single reached Number #8 on the hip-hop charts and became an instant success for Lil' Flip. His follow-up single, the lover's anthem "Sunshine" featuring newcomer Lea, it became the second single on Lil' Flip's album and went to Number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. It gained numerous requests on MTV and BET. The album was later Chopped & Screwed by Paul Wall.The album sold over 2 million copies in the U.S.
I Need Mine is the 4th full-length studio album by Houston rapper Lil' Flip. It was released on March 27, 2007.

The official released album had sixteen tracks that were on the leaked version and twenty-one which were not on the leaked version. The only songs that didn't make it to the re-release are "Da Gudda" and "What U Know".
