Brining in the New Year right with a renewed focus on underground music we put together and an updated playlist on SoundCloud which we are calling SoundCloud Gems. SoundCloud is home to some of the best producers in the world and we really wanted to showcase these talented artists. This month’s SoundCloud gems come in the form of what is known as “flips”. For starters, we need to understand what a flip of a song is. A “flip” is basically taking a sample from an existing track and making a new version of it in a creative way, sort of like remixing but with a lot of elements stripped away and added in. ⁠

“Flips” run a heavy percentage of Soundcloud’s user platform, and for good reason too. From PearlChilds flip of Kanye West’s “ Come to Life”, See Dee’s take on Destiny’s Child’s classic “Cater 2 U” to heart-thumping recreation of Brent Faiyaz’s “Dead Man Walking” all of the absolute diamonds on this list will have you vibing to your favorite artists in an entirely different way. ⁠
