Lil' Flip's career was launched when he released his first album "The Leprechaun". The album quickly gained national attention and spawned the hit single "I Can Do That". The album sold over 100,000 copies regionally and gained attention from Def Jam South, A & R, and well-known Houston rapper Scarface. He was briefly signed to Def Jam, but abruptly left the label a few years later after concerns about his financial earnings. He soon signed to Loud Records and began recording his first national debut album.
While recording his album, he was apparently shot by unknown assailants in a drive-by shooting. He survived the attack and pressed on to finish the album. At the age of 20, Lil' Flip released his sophomore album "Undaground Legend", his first nationally released album, which included the hit single "The Way We Ball" and a remix to his hit "I Can Do That". The album reached platinum status even though it didn't get much promotion from Loud Records.
Lil' Flip recorded his third album "U Gotta Feel Me" on Sony Records. This album was more commercial and featured Ludacris, Three 6 Mafia, and others. The album debuted at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and #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 #1 on the hip-hop charts. His follow-up single, the lover's anthem "Sunshine" featuring Lea, became the second hit single on Lil' Flip's album and went to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. It gained numerous requests on MTV 2 and BET. The album was certified double platinum.
Lil' Flip is known for his unique screwed style of freestyling (a form of slowed down rap technique) and for always releasing double disc CDs whenever he releases an album. He credits all of his success to the late DJ Screw and has tattooed DJ Screw's name on his arms. Lil' Flip has been credited for his lyrics by Three 6 Mafia, David Banner, Fam-Lay, Young Buck, UGK, Ludacris, among others. He has announced himself as the "King of The South" and the "Freestyle King".

Come on (Uh)

Ha ha yeah man this what the fans want
They want the hear a bread winner spit it

Hotter than black peppers

With my pistol on my seat

And the grape Swisher sweets
I skeet skeet then beep beep
I drop em hog then I'm gone
And since my slab a brown whip
I call it Indiana Jones get it
A brown whip ah fuck it y'all rappers too slow
I'm dirty dancing with the freaks in the new Vogue
Big licker green swishers got the club stanky
A Bentley on yankees but it's fifty on my bank it
I let y'all borrow my swag ya outta thank me
I blow rooters like toobers you try to gank me
You can't be serious Houston ain't finished
How was that
When I made a half of meal on my teeth
I got that Geena Green bread
That Martha Stewart cash
And when I'm at high rollers they bring
My money and clear bags
The vet black since I visited the same color
We lethal weapons are real man I'm Danny Glover
Check out my track record

Cause my safe looking just like a vault
Somebody rob Ford Nox (And it's looking like I'm cost)
Turn up my four fifteens
I'm swanging like a swing
My Lincoln took a leak
I guess is it too much supreme
It's looking candy green I think it's gasoline
If it ain't gas it's lean I think my slab a fiend
And I already put three slabs in rehab
Each Jag is overdosed to each class
My E-class my S-class my V-class
They all wanna be bad kids and be fast
Check out my track record

They wanna cut my wings because I'm so fly
The paint is wined out ya foes is glasshouse
Wine berry overload it's Ame wined out
Y'all at the center the Roster and I doubt
