FlipTop Battle League, often simply known as FlipTop, is the premier rap battle league in the Philippines, founded by Alaric 'Anygma' Yuson on February 6, 2010. Inspired by the global battle rap scene, Anygma sought to create a platform that would showcase Filipino talent and elevate the art of freestyle rap in the country. The league quickly gained popularity due to its raw, unfiltered content and the unique blend of Filipino languages and dialects used by the battlers. Key milestones in FlipTop's history include its first event, which set the stage for future battles and established a loyal fanbase. The league's YouTube channel, launched shortly after its inception, has amassed millions of subscribers and billions of views, making it one of the most-watched battle rap platforms globally. FlipTop has also expanded its reach by organizing major events such as the annual 'FlipTop Festival' and 'Isabuhay Tournament,' further solidifying its status as a cultural phenomenon in the Philippines and beyond.
