Bio
Waka Flocka, also known as Waka Flocka Flame, is a Southern rapper associated with Gucci Mane and his So Icey Entertainment enterprise. Born Juaquin Malphurs on May 31, 1986, in Jamaica, Queens, NY, he moved to Riverdale, GA, at age nine and later based himself in Atlanta, GA, where he launched his rap career. He cites influences that include Eazy-E and Lil Jon in addition to Gucci Mane. He was taken under Gucci Mane's wing, and was added to his Brick Squad collective, which also includes OJ Da Juiceman, Frenchie, and Wooh da Kid. Waka Flocka made his solo mixtape debut in 2009 with Shoot Me or Salute Me, the first of numerous mixtape releases that year. Also in 2009 he scored his first commercial hit with "O Let's Do It" and was featured on the song "Bingo" on Gucci Mane's hit album The State vs. Radric Davis.
Album Review
A member of Gucci Maneâs So Icey camp, Waka Flocka Flame takes Pliesâ slow goon drawl, mixes it with the wackiness of his posse boss Gucci, and then adds plenty of guttural utterances (âWaaaaaakaa!,â âFlocka!,â but mostly âBlow!â) for a love-him-or-hate-him style. Fall into the latter camp and his debut album, Flockaveli, is a one-note cash-in that has no business referencing 2Pac with its title. Fall into the former and itâs a satisfying nonstop assault of so-dumb-itâs-fun hip-hop with numerous guest stars to keep things fresh plus those deep Lex Luger beats that threaten to blow the trunk off. With âHard in da Paint,â âNo Hands,â and "O Let's Do It" all on the track list, every one of Flockaâs necessary career-building singles are present, and the support crew consists mostly of likeminded bangers with guys'-night-out appeal, the cred-verifying âG Checkâ being the best. The one welcome surprise is âFor My Dawgs,â a slow creeper that communicates spite and triumph with skill, but this smart wallflower is surrounded by party boys and wonât be enough to sway the haters. Still, Flockaveli has enough hooks and attitude to keep those bottles poppinâ all night long, and whether or not you remember any of it the next day, it does serve its purpose.
