Flip your lid for Lil Flip

By Lindsey Rosati

If you want to see Lil Flip and the way he balls, Friday night is your chance.

The Houston-based rapper is scheduled to perform at 7 p.m. Friday at the Music Building’s Concert Hall. Doors open at 6 p.m.

A Dollar Production is presenting Lil Flip, with special guest 2 $ense, who has been featured on BET’s “Uncut.”

Tickets were $15 for students and $20 for general public in advance, or $25 at the door. Only at-the-door tickets remain.

Tickets originally were on sale at the CAB box office. However, an acountancy error caused all advanced sales to be put on hold.

Tim Blickhan, assistant director and coordinator of graduate studies, handles the booking for Concert Hall. Blickhan confirmed the hall has been rented Friday evening by NIU’s Black Studies Program, which aided in bringing Lil Flip to DeKalb.

Lil Flip, who started off underground in Houston, was part of the late DJ Screw’s rhyme team, The Screwed Up Click. His first indie debut, “The Leprechaun,” moved 100,000 records. Lil Flip’s first major label debut, “Undaground Legend,” went platinum.

His third installment, “U Gotta Feel Me,” has produced hits such as “Sunshine,” which has had heavy rotation on MTV, and “Game Over.”
