“A larger than life pop-culture character… Waka’s on the verge of a worldwide breakthrough.” – Spin
“Rap’s new anti-hero: unhinged, brutal and intense.” – NME
Having hit the Billboard Top 10 with his debut album ‘Flockaveli’ which sold 300,000 copies in the US alone and featured the Stateside hit single ‘No Hands’, Atlanta rapper Waka Flocka Flame’s second album ‘Triple F Life: Friends, Fans and Family’ repeated the trick with another Top 10 placing.
Dubbed “King of the clubs” by Drake, Waka Flocka Flame is now set to embark upon his first UK tour:
December
4th – London, indigO2
6th – Manchester, Academy
7th – Birmingham, HMV Institute
8th – Glasgow, The Arches
Waka Flocka Flame’s ‘Flockaveli’ won critical approval when it was released in 2010. The Washington Post called it “the most anarchic rap album of 2010”, while The New York Times described it as "one of the most bracing and unforgiving hip-hop releases in recent memory. Almost single-handedly, and without context, it rediscovers hip-hop's pugnacity in an era of extreme melodic sophistication, an idiosyncratic anomaly." In the UK, the NME’s 9/10 review stated that the album was “a masterclass in reductionism.”
