Always finding innovative ways to flip anything on its head to find a path forward, Fliptrix is a man of many talents: MC, lyricist, and label founder of High Focus Records. From his role in The Four Owls to his solo work, his attention to detail in expressing the difficult road of self-realization and consciousness has constantly led him into uncharted territories. Having worked with a wide assortment of musical personalities, he is able to bring a duality that enables him to detail stories of depth and power like no one else can.
“So Clear,” his latest single, is the next harbinger of his ninth studio album Mantra No 9. Bringing his fiery and introspective lyricism, one revolving around uplifting energy and deep explorations of consciousness, he creates a scene of walking the streets with unbridled determination. With none other than Mark Fear bringing his deft touch to the table, these heavyweight talents play off each other with insane levels of precision.
The driving drums are enveloped in a hazy atmosphere that evokes a feeling of heading through a thick fog, and setting your sights clearly on the path forward. The hypnotic sway of the chirping vocals ebbs and flows with the meandering bass line, further solidifying the dynamic interplay between each layer. Swelling together, the intricate balance provides a backdrop that gives the words infinite freedom to work their magic.
