Waka Flocka Flame's hit single 'No Hands' has sold 1.3 million copies in the US already and continues to sell over 200,000 copies each week. The single, which has received 19 million views at YouTube and features Roscoe Dash and Wale, will be released in the UK on April 18th on Warner Bros. Records / Asylum / Brick Squad.
His debut album 'Flockaveli' will be released here in Spring 2011. It has already hit #6 on the Billboard 200 and features two further North American hit singles in the shape of 'O Let's Do It' and the Lex Luger-produced 'Hard in Da Paint.'
At eighteen, Waka looked on as his mother began managing the career of Gucci Mane. Soon, Waka began messing around with music himself alongside local producer Tay Beatz. ' was going through so much at the time,' he says. ' had so much stress and so many issues. I couldn't release my emotions physically, so releasing them verbally was the only option I had.
People have definitely gotten the wrong impression of me so far,' says Waka. ' don't know why they think I'm so controversial. I guess people just don't know the real me yet. It's up to me to change their minds.'
