On March 27th, Warner Bros. Records/Asylum will release Lil Flip's forthcoming album, "I Need Mine" as a two-disc set featuring 35 songs. The Houston born and bred rapper started his career in 2001 with the release of "Leprechaun," a CD that moved more than 100,000 units before Flip signed with a major label. He quickly caught the attention of Loud Records and went on to sell 500,000 copies of "Leprechaun," earning himself a gold plaque for his initial release. By 2002, Flip had reached platinum-selling success with "Undaground Legend" and "U Gotta Feel Me."

As a teenager, Flip was discovered by DJ Screw and was knighted the "Freestyle King" by Screw for his ability to drop rhymes quicker than most of his counterparts. Soon after that, Flip started his own label at the age of sixteen (16) with a partner and caught the attention of the nation. With more than 10 mixtapes over the past five years, Lil Flip is a steadfast creative force in the hip-hop scene.

You can catch Lil Flip on BET's "106 & Park" on Tuesday, March 27th -- the album release day.
