In a world filled with fear of school shootings, discrimination, and terrorism, Oakland-based alternative hip-hop/pop trio Flipsyde deliver a dose of serenity with their uplifting new single, “Imagine Peace.” It’s filled with soaring instrumentation driven by guitarist Dave Lopez, and powerful lyricism and vocals from both emcee Piper and singer Steve Knight. It also captures why Flipsyde has been an inspiring group for nearly 20 years, and why we can’t wait to hear their ‘Prophecy’ LP in 2020.
