Artist description
DISCLAIMER: Asians in hip hop, not Asian hip hop.
Flipnautikz was founded on a mutual respect and love for hip hop and the hip hop culture. We are, in no particular order, Asians, Texans, and passionate members of the hip hop community, and our music reflects that. Consisting of five emcees and one producer: K-Glory (Pakistani, 21), Kengkoy (Filipino, 21), Mic Check (Filipino, 20), P-No (Filipino, 21), PinoyBoy (Filipino, 26), and Nino (Filipino, 21).
So why are there only Asians in Flipnautikz? Simple. We share a common history. We are as American as apple pie and as Asian as eggrolls. In many aspects we live the typical American lives, yet we are undeniably Asian. We are avid supporters of hip hop, from buying the CDs, mixing the vinyl, standing in lines for concerts, tagging park benches, bombing white walls, and b-boying with the best of them on the dancefloor. But when it comes to emceeing, we are silent and relatively underrepresented. We were the secret emcees, kicking freestyles at house parties, writing rhymes in class, laughing quietly at our own puchlines. Finally our time has come, to vocalize our struggle, to speak and be heard, and share our love of hip hop.
Flipnautikz in the culmination of five emcees, with five different perspective, but one common history. We do it all, a little dirty at times but always poetic, giving you something to drink to and cruise to (not at the same time), to creating concepts that make ya'll contemplate. Versastyle: the style of being versatile. Why do we do it all? Because good music is good music, and we love Ice Cube as much as Mos Def, and D'Angelo as much as N'Sync. If and only if you listen to our CD from beginning to end, can you get a true understanding of who we are and what we're about, and hopefully you'll realize that not everything is black and white. Flipnautikz: Flippin' scripts with hipnotic flows.
