Waka Flocka Flame (USA)

Fri 20 December

The Hi-Fi SYDNEY

Raised between Queens, New York and Atlanta, Georgia, Waka Flocka Flame (Juaquin Malphurs) never wanted to be a rapper. Whilst growing up with aspirations for a career in Basketball, his mother (Debra Antney) was managing a fast-rising Gucci Mane. Following the death of his brother and watching Gucci turn into a Southern sensation, he began messing with music as a means to release – citing 2pac, Eazy-E and Lil Jon as primary influences. The result was his 2008 mixtape ‘Salute Me or Shoot Me, Vol. 1′ which featured the instant hit “O Lets Do It’. The debut was so huge it earned him a spot on Gucci’s 1017 Brick Squad Clique, with OJ Da Juiceman, Frenchie and Woo Da Kid (it was Gucci himself who told him to add Flocka Flame to his name).

Waka gained a national presence – described as being as intense as lyrically reckless with some (including Method Man) critiquing his rambunctious Southern style. Proving his detractors wrong, Flocka’s debut album ‘Flockavelli’ entered the charts at No. 6, hitting fans with tracks like ‘Justin’ At Em’ and ‘No Hands’ – though it was the Lex Luger produced lead single ‘Hard in Da Paint’ that elevated his status from Southern star to International phenomenon.
