Lil Flip has made big moves, landing a senior position at GT Digital Distribution.
During a recent interview with Hustle Town Network, the Houston rap veteran announced that he will be assisting the artist development and marketing company.
“I just became the senior A&R over at GT Digital,” he revealed. “So we gonna be bringing a lot of artists doin’ talent shows and givin’ deals out, doin’ contests. Imma starts a talent show in the next couple of weeks.”
He added: “We just gon’ help these artists get, y’know, record deals and quality videos and interviews and real distribution, man. So ya’ll stay tuned, man. GT Distribution, man, they cut the check and now I’m finna show ’em, man, and keep my foot on the neck.”
In honoring his fellow Screwed Up Click member who passed away over the weekend, Flip also said the following: “We miss you, Big Pokey, we miss you, Big Pokey. We love you. And man, hey, we gon’ hold it down — believe that.”
On Monday (June 19), the Clover G let it be known how much he misses his Houston compadre, reminiscing about the good times coming up with him as part of DJ Screw’s famed collective through song.
Spitting over the beat for Screw’s “June 27th Freestyle” — the original of which Big Pokey appears with a scene-stealing verse — Lil Flip begins by explaining how he can’t believe his friend has gone and shares how he discovered the news.
“I never thought I’d have to make a R.I.P. Big Pokey song/ Man, I got the news last night when I was headed home/ On my way from Fayetteville, I had a show with Live Sosa/ In my bedroom I used to have the Hardest Pit poster.”
Fliparachi then went on to praise Pokey for his mic skills and pen game while taking solace in the fact that he’s now reunited with fellow SUC stars DJ Screw and Big Moe, who died in 2000 and 2007 respectively.
“You was a fool with the flow, you were a fool with the pen,” he raps. “‘Keep My Name Out Yo Mouth,’ that was my favorite track by you/ Boys couldn’t keep up with you, Poke, it’s like they had a flat tire/ ‘Cause down South, man, we be rollin’ on choppers/ Now you up there with Screw and Moe, now all of ya can watch us.”
