Flipsyde is a rap rock band from Oakland, California. The band consists of singer guitarist Steve Knight, guitarist Dave Lopez, rapper Jinho "the Piper" Ferreira, and recently singer Chantelle Paige. The single, "Someday" was chosen as NBC's theme song for the 2006 Winter Olympic Games held in Torino, Italy, and once again, their song "Champion" was chosen as the theme for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China.
Recently it was announced through their MySpace that they had started touring with Akon, promoting their second studio album, "State of Survival," produced by Akon and Konvict Muzik, and set to be released in 2009. Based on ChantelleDaily.com, that unfortunately the album "State of Survival" is also the last album with Cherrytree Records (Lable mate), after Flipsyde’s mgt informed them that they were on a list of possible “drops” at Interscope, and it likely that they won’t be touring next month as planned, but they will remain friends who continue to support each other! This is going to be a shock to many friends and fans, but lets just remember that Flipsyde have had an amazing time working and touring together and will carry on supporting each other. Lets wish the guys the best of luck for the future and thank them for there amazing talent and for sharing there music with us.
I would like to share with you Flipsyde's single "A Change," which is the second official single off "State Of Survival" and was released on August 15. The song is written by Flipsyde and Red One. It’s also produced by Red One. To be honest, "A Change" sounds like any other pop song with very less signs of the original Flipsyde. Nevertheless, Steve and Piper save "A Change" from being a below average affair. The music video for song was shot in East LA in an old juvenille correction facility on June 17. In the video, the members of Flipsyde refurbish an old classroom for use. It's a powerful message to affect change in your local community. They are great spirits and the shoot was really inspiring. The video was exclusively premiered on Cherrytree Records site July 10.
