ALBUM REVIEW - The Road To The Interdimensional Piff Highway By Fliptrix
Fliptrix has been an artist to watch since he dropped Force Fed Imagery in 2007, since then he has released Theory Of Rhyme (2010) and then Third Eye Of The Storm earlier this year. Every release we have seen Fliptrix grow into a positive and intellectual artist spitting thought provoking subjects and schemes, we felt his third release Third Eye Of the Storm put his final stamp on the scene earlier this year, but then his 4th release was announced; The Road To The Interdimensional Piff Highway.
We managed to get a sneak peak of his 4th solo release The Road to the Interdimensional Piff Highway and by the second song in, I was hooked. The entire album took two sittings for Fliptrix to complete, one in Switzerland and the other in the United Kingdom, one of the main reasons for the quick turnaround is due to a lot of the subjects were briefly covered in Third Eye Of The Storm. The album features Fliptrix and his rhymes alone with production carried out by Runone and Molotov, who have worked with Fliptrix on many occasions before and are very familiar with his sound, style and subject matter. There's not a beat, rhyme or sample to fault on the entire release, this collaboration couldn't have been any more perfect, many of the tracks will grab you by force and take you on a journey to the spiritual and conscious realms of Fliptrix’s brain.
The Road to the Interdimensional Piff Highway features a total of 14 complete tracks (no skits) where he delves into new forms of delivery, which can be heard on one of the tracks recently released titled ‘Sounds’ which if you haven’t clocked already, check it out below.
Fliptrix Sounds
- I’m gonna make the Mic Glow with freaky freaky frequencies
- I’m so freaking high, I can’t even hear you speak to me
Fliptrix graces every track with positivity and progression even when the songs have a darker side, he covers a range of subjects such as Materialism, War in Syria, Failing Economies, Out Of Body Experiences, Experiences of the Third Kind, Hollow Earth Theories and a lot more. Besides Flitrix’s immense delivery and presence on a track, his subject matter is really what sets him aside. Nearly every track on the album will take you on a journey and paint an array of optimistic imagery especially tracks such as 'Hyperborean Dreams' and 'Been Here Before' where he delves into issues surrounding our position on Earth and our position in the entire Universe – Why are we here?
"I wanted to open people's minds to a lot of issues that aren't normally addressed in the everyday world let alone on a rap record. At the end of writing 'Third Eye of the Storm' I had a massive awakening and this new record represents my journey since then."
Fliptrix - Cycles
The last track on the album is a perfect finish as we all know Fliptrix's music goes hand in hand with a certain recreational activity. The sample’s that have been used are perfect for finishing up the album, flooding your ears with nothing but positivity and a sense of enjoyment while hitting you with some facts about his Journey with Mary J for the last 13 years.
Don't overlook this album if you're a Fliptrix fan or not, this has easily become one of my top 5 albums of the year and leaves me wanting his 5th installment. You can purchase the album over at the official High Focus website by clicking Here for only £8.99 for the CD case, 16 page booklet containing lyrics and imagery making this a must have for UK Hip Hop heads.
