The FlipSide started off as a quarterly Hip-Hop column featured in a student newspaper called Activate!, published at
Rhodes University in Grahamstown, South Africa. It then migrated to the Internet and has expanded it's focus to include articles and interviews relating to South African Hip-Hop culture, as well as an international album reviews section. The FlipSide is devoted to changing people's misconceptions of the Hip-Hop artform and lifestyle, as well covering relevant and topical issues within the culture.
