作为说唱界的新人,Flo-Rida这个名字还不是那样被人们所熟悉,但要是提起影片《舞出我人生2》里面的主打单曲“;Low”;,相信很多喜欢说唱音乐和街舞的人会恍然大悟。没错,这首能让全身每个细胞都活跃起来的主打歌就是Flo-Rida和著名说唱歌手兼制作人T-Pain联手打造的。而这首歌和著名的“;夜店金牌曲”;——“;IN THE AYER”;一同收录在他的首张个人专辑《Mail On Sunday》中。并在美国本土取得了不俗的销量成绩。
在热情的音乐背后,Flo-Rida同样拥有一颗执着于音乐的心。月底,他的第二张个人专辑《R.O.O.T.S》即将面世,谈到这张专辑,他面目严肃的表示:专辑名是“;战胜困难的道路(Route Of Overcoming The Struggle)”;的首字母缩写,取这样的专辑名目的是为了勉励自己,现在的成功并不是一夜之间所取得的,必须谨记自己一路以来所付出的努力。作为这样一个艺人,他积极向上的态度远比阳光帅气的面容来得更真切。在这样的人生坐标指引下,他的新专辑绝对是值得一听的。
Flo Rida, unsurprisingly a native Floridian, is an MC who toured as a teenager with 2 Live Crew's Fresh Kid Ice and began popping up on high-profile mixtapes by 2006, most notably DJ Khaled's We the Best -- on "Bitch I'm from Dade County," he appeared with the likes of Rick Ross, Trick Daddy, Trina, and Dre (of Cool & Dre). Signed to the Atlantic-distributed Poe Boy that year, he recorded Mail on Sunday, which was released in March of 2008. "Low," featuring T-Pain, was the album's lead single; it reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100.
