DJ Flip Tha Boss: the DJ the younger generation names as an influence

Published October 20, 2026

DJ Flip Tha Boss is a bouyon DJ and producer from Dominica whose name has crossed the scene since at least 2020, from mix tracklists to song credits, without any public biography presenting him. He turns up as a road mix credit on a Triple Kay Band record, as a feature on records by Reo and by Asa Bantan, as the co signer of a riddim with DJ Sixaf, and in 2023 as the lead artist of a single, “Alpha”, on Flipside Recordz. His name is also attached to the most debated episode in the recent history of the genre: the Bouyon Drill of 2021, which an artist account credits him with triggering through a “Bouyon Drill Riddim” built on CJ “Whoopty”. This profile tells that claim as a claim, with its exact dates and spellings, follows the verified credits one by one, and shows the strongest proof of his weight: a younger producer, DJ Wizz767, names him among his influences.

Who DJ Flip Tha Boss is: one name, three spellings, no biography

Start with the spelling, because it is part of the file. The sources opened for this profile write the name three ways. “DJ Flip Tha Boss”, with Tha and Boss separate, is the form of the mix tracklists, of the confirmed artist list of Ti Vilaj Kwéyòl 2026, and of the “Alpha” single on Shazam. “Djflip Tha Boss” is the form of the guest credit on Asa Bantan “Bouyon I Love”, again on Shazam. And “DJ Flip Thaboss”, with Thaboss as one word, is the form of the Bouyon Drill account, on Wikipedia and in the description of the artist Tazzo alike. This profile headlines the first form, the most frequent in music credits, and flags the other two exactly where they appear, without silently correcting them: on a scene that lives on credits, the spelling of a name is information.

For the rest, the file is remarkably silent. No artist biography, no interview and no press article devoted to DJ Flip Tha Boss was found during this research. No confirmed real name can be printed: the only full song page opened, the Shazam page of “Alpha”, credits the writing to a Gildon George, and no source consulted says who Gildon George is in relation to the artist. This profile therefore quotes that credit as a credit, and nothing more. His age, his home district and the date of his beginnings are all unknown, and any page claiming otherwise would be inventing.

What the documents do establish is a status, and it reads in the programmes of others. DJ Flip Tha Boss is programmed in the reference mixes of the scene from 2020. He is a guest on records by two of the biggest bouyon singers of his generation, Reo and Asa Bantan. He is confirmed, in 2026, at Ti Vilaj Kwéyòl, the Creole village of the independence celebrations in Roseau, on an official Government of Dominica list reported by Dominica Weekly. And he is named as an influence by a younger producer in his official biography. That is the typical profile of the back room DJ in bouyon: no documented public face, but a continuous presence in the working documents of the genre, the tracklists.

Two neighbouring banners carry his mark, without any source allowing them to be merged into one. His “Alpha” single appeared on Flipside Recordz in 2023. And the video of the “Conch Shell Riddim”, co signed with DJ Sixaf, carries the hashtag FlipSideREC. Flipside is visibly the brand attached to his name, under two close forms. This profile reports both occurrences and stops there: no label page and no label catalog was opened for this file.

2020: four traces in the DJ-Sly reference mix

The densest document on DJ Flip Tha Boss is a tracklist. The mix titled “D’ Riddim Box”, published by Original DJ-Sly and subtitled “Best of 2020 Bouyon x Reketeng Mix”, lines up 73 records presented as the best of the bouyon and Wrecketeng of 2020, most of it from Dominica. The name of DJ Flip Tha Boss returns four times in it, under three different forms of work, which makes him, on equal sources, the most documented DJ of that selection after the compiler himself.

At position number 3, he signs the road mix of a band record: “Triple Kay Band, Heat (DJ Flip Tha Boss Road Mix)”. The road mix is a key format of carnival bouyon, a version reworked for the road and the parade trucks, and entrusting it to an outside DJ is a gesture of trust from the band. Triple Kay, from Laudat, which became TK International, is also the name that popularized bouyon soca, the crossing of bouyon and soca that Dada had started in Dominica in 2003 according to the first hand testimony of Sean “Smokiller” Francis, as our bouyon soca page tells. Working that band sound in 2020 places DJ Flip Tha Boss in direct contact with the central lineage of the genre.

At positions number 15 and 26, he appears under his own name: “DJ Flip Tha Boss, Bouyon Without Me”, then “DJ Flip Tha Boss, Bouyon’d Up”. The first of those two records sits next to, at position number 16, the “Without Me” cover by Nikki Dee and DJ Wizz767, the younger producer who would name him as an influence: two bouyon treatments of the same tune, back to back in the same mix, as the DJ Wizz767 profile on this site tells. At position number 56, finally, the mix programmes “Old Town Road (DJ Flip Tha Boss Remix)”, the bouyon rework of the Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus hit: the classic gesture of the DJ of this generation, passing worldwide hits through the rhythm of the island.

The exact status of those four traces must be stated. They are lines in the tracklist of a third party mix, not song pages opened on a platform, and none of them therefore enters the track list of the structured data of this page, which keeps only the Shazam pages that were opened. But as a scene document, the tracklist is gold: it dates the presence of DJ Flip Tha Boss, it shows his three DJ trades, the band road mix, the solo name record and the hit remix, and it shows him among his 2020 peers, Trilla G, Keks Mafia, Signal Band, Asa Bantan and Reo.

The Conch Shell Riddim: a co signed riddim that names the pioneers

Before the 2020 tracklists, an older video carries his name. “Dj Flip Tha Boss x Dj Sixaf, Conch Shell Riddim (Bouyon101)”, hosted on the Dj CashMoney767 channel and not on a channel of the artist, credits in its description: WCK, Bouyon Pioneers, Mahaut Bouyon Lapo Kabwit, Dj Sixaf and Maskman. The conch shell is the signal instrument of Dominica fetes and jing ping, and the lapo kabwit, the goatskin of the traditional drums, is one of the founding ingredients of bouyon. A riddim that places itself under those references claims the source of the genre, not its fashions.

The hashtags of the video complete the picture: Bouyon101, DjFlipThaBoss and FlipSideREC, the brand neighbouring his 2023 label. The title “Bouyon101” also states a programme: bouyon for beginners, the introductory course, as if the riddim presented itself as a lesson. Nothing in the opened sources allows this video to be dated precisely or the singers who may have voiced the riddim to be listed, and this profile assumes neither. It keeps the form: from this early trace on, DJ Flip Tha Boss works as a riddim producer, the collective format of bouyon in which one rhythm carries several voices, whose mechanics our bouyon riddim page explains.

The co signer, DJ Sixaf, also appears in the 2020 DJ-Sly mix, with a “Counch Shell Riddim Remake” at position number 7, Conch misspelled in the tracklist. The same riddim, the same name, taken up and remade by the partner: Dominican riddims live that way, in successive versions circulating between DJs, and the trace of DJ Flip Tha Boss in it is that of the original co signer. It is little, and it is exactly the kind of little that the history of the producers of this scene is made of, men who work in the workshop while the singers hold the posters.

Bouyon Drill, 2021: the claim, its dates, its spellings

Now to the most quoted, and most fragile, passage of the file. According to the account of Bouyon Drill as it circulates today, an account carried by the Wikipedia article on bouyon and by the long description that the artist Tazzo devotes to his own record “Glizzy Spray”, Bouyon Drill was born in spring 2021 from the meeting of Dominican electronic bouyon and drill, with its sliding basslines and dark syncopation. In that account, Tazzo recorded the first record labelled Bouyon Drill in March 2021, D-Rys released a record titled “Bouyon Drill” in April, and DJ Flip Thaboss, spelled as one word in both sources, triggered the movement in May 2021 with a “Bouyon Drill Riddim” built on a sample of “Whoopty” by CJ.

This profile attributes that account to its carriers, because no independent verification was found. The internal research file of this site, devoted to the branches of bouyon, classifies the whole item as an artist claim, with no independent press confirmation, and no platform page for the “Bouyon Drill Riddim” itself could be opened during this research: no distributor verifiable release date, no song page, no figures. To say that DJ Flip Tha Boss created Bouyon Drill would therefore print as fact what two linked accounts tell. To tell it as those accounts tell it, with their dates and their one word Thaboss spelling, is on the other hand a duty of documentation, because the claim itself is part of the history of the genre.

The same account gives precise sequels, and one of them is cross checked by the press. Tazzo writes that singers jumped on the riddim immediately: “We Outside” by Reo, dated May 20, 2021 in his description, “Hey Cutie” by Charmpian and a record by Devon George, dated May 21, 2021. For its part, Caribbean Entertainment Hub, in an article devoted to Reo, independently confirms that “We Outside” stands among the 2021 releases of Reo, featuring DJ Flip Tha Boss. The cross check does not prove the paternity of the riddim, but it proves the central and verifiable point: in spring 2021, Reo and DJ Flip Tha Boss do have a record together, and that record is the one the drill account names as the first voiced on the riddim. Tazzo adds a detail that says a great deal about the weight of the name at that time: he tells that he borrowed the “Thaboss” of his own stage name from DJ Flip Thaboss, before Bouyon Drill even existed.

The reader should therefore keep the two levels well separated. Verified level: a Reo feature with DJ Flip Tha Boss titled “We Outside” in 2021, confirmed by a Caribbean media outlet. Claimed level: the paternity of the May 2021 Bouyon Drill Riddim and the role of trigger of the movement, told by Wikipedia and by Tazzo, with no independent source to date. If a platform page, a 2021 press article or the riddim itself resurfaces, this profile will be updated and dated. As things stand, DJ Flip Tha Boss is the name that the memory of the scene associates with that episode, and the association itself is a fact of documentation.

The platform credits: Bouyon I Love in 2020, Alpha in 2023

Two Shazam pages opened for this profile carry the name, and they are the only two records kept in the structured data of this page. The first is a guest credit: “Bouyon I Love”, by Asa Bantan, featuring “Djflip Tha Boss” in the spelling of the page, released on October 10, 2020 on the album “Asa Bantan Greatest Hits Vol. 2”, on the Asa Bantan label, in English. To feature on a greatest hits compilation by Asa Bantan, the most decorated bouyon singer of his generation, is not a minor line: compilations of that kind keep only the records that counted, and the guest DJ enters it with the records that counted.

The second page is a lead name record: “Alpha”, by DJ Flip Tha Boss, featuring Malky, released on August 2, 2023 on Flipside Recordz, in English, at 101 BPM according to the analysis of the platform, with a writing credit in the name of Gildon George. That is, in the opened sources, the only single on which DJ Flip Tha Boss holds the top of the bill alone, close to three years after his 2020 traces. The counted tempo, 101 BPM, is that of a laid back record, far from the racing tempos of carnival bouyon: with no reviewed listening page and no published lyrics in the sources, this profile notes the figure and forbids itself to deduce a style from it. The label name, Flipside Recordz, extends the FlipSideREC brand of the hashtags of his beginnings, and the Gildon George credit remains, for lack of a source, a name in a credit list and nothing else.

Between those two pages, the 2021 feature with Reo on “We Outside”, confirmed by the press but with no platform page opened during this research, completes the short list of named credits. Three verified credits in four years: that is little for a name that the tracklists, for their part, show everywhere. The gap is the lesson of the file. The work of a DJ of this scene measures badly against song pages, which record singers and singles, and well against the documents of circulation, the mixes, the road mixes and the selections of other DJs, where his name returns without pause. The next section follows that second life, the most recent one.

Still in the mixes: from the 2026 Sewo Jam to Ti Vilaj Kwéyòl

Recent tracklists show a name still active in the middle of the 2020s. The selection titled “Digga D Presents, Sewo Jam” of 2026, a mix devoted to Dominica, programmes at position number 6 “DJ Flip Tha Boss, Bouyon Party Starter”, then two of his DJ remixer gestures: “Fr3eze x Adele x DJ Flip Tha Boss, Love In The Dark (Warm Up)”, in which the producer Fr3EzE and he rework Adele as a warm up version, and “Davido & Omah Lay x DJ Flip Tha Boss, With You”. A 2026 bouyon freestyle mix by Blaqrose Supreme programmes for its part a “Holiday DJ Flip Tha Boss Remix” on a Problem Child record. And an older soca selection already credited “Dj Flip Tha Boss feat. Oozy & Fierce, Work It For Me”, a solo name record with two guests, for which no platform page was found.

Those tracklist lines are not song pages, and this profile files them as such: proofs of circulation, not documented releases. But their accumulation draws a solid fact. From 2020 to 2026, with no break found, the selectors of the scene and of its diaspora programme DJ Flip Tha Boss, under his own name, as a remixer and as a reworker of hits, exactly the three trades that the 2020 mix already showed. Continuity, for a DJ with no biography and no public communication found, is the form that reputation takes in this world: it rests on the gestures of others.

The official confirmation arrives in 2026 through the programme. Dominica Weekly, reporting the official post of the Government of Dominica, lists DJ Flip Tha Boss among the first twenty confirmed artists of Ti Vilaj Kwéyòl 2026, the Creole village of the independence celebrations, from October 19 to 22, 2026 at the Botanic Gardens in Roseau, alongside Signal Band, TK International, Reo and the historic groups of the island. For a DJ of whom no press file exists, to stand on that list, the list of the cultural institution of his island, is the most formal recognition this profile can document. It closes the path that the tracklists had been telling since 2020: the back room DJ is, in 2026, a name on the national programme.

The influence and the limits: what this profile can and cannot say

The clearest proof of the weight of DJ Flip Tha Boss comes neither from the drill accounts nor from the official programmes. It comes from an artist biography, the one of DJ Wizz767 on Audiomack, opened for the companion profile to this one. The young Dominican producer lists his Lesser Antillean influences there: WCK, Triple Kay, DJ Puffy, and DJ Flip Tha Boss, in that order, in the middle of Bob Marley and Machel Montano. To be named there, by a producer of the next generation, in the document in which he presents himself to the world, is worth every ranking that this scene does not publish. It is also what justifies the place of this profile on this site: DJ Flip Tha Boss counts in the history of bouyon at least by transmission, as one of the names through which the sound passes from one generation of DJs to the next.

The limits of the file must be stated with the same clarity. No confirmed real name, no birth date, no home district, no interview, and no official artist page opened and verified on a platform during this research: the structured links of this page therefore carry no social profile and no artist profile, and its track list is limited to the two Shazam pages that were opened, “Bouyon I Love” as a guest and “Alpha” as lead artist. The Bouyon Drill claim is reported as an artist claim, with the Thaboss spelling of its sources, and not as an established fact. Everything this profile states beyond that comes from named documents, tracklists, programmes and credit lists, quoted section by section.

If DJ Flip Tha Boss one day publishes a biography, an artist page or the pages of his riddims, this profile will be completed and dated like every page on this site, and the 2021 claim will be re examined against the new documents. In the meantime, the documented listening starts with “Alpha” featuring Malky, continues with “Bouyon I Love” with Asa Bantan and “We Outside” with Reo, then through the documents of circulation: the 2020 “D’ Riddim Box” mix, the “Conch Shell Riddim” with DJ Sixaf and the 2026 selections. The context is read on our bouyon riddim and Wrecketeng pages, and the current scene is followed in our bouyon playlist.
