While its been two years filled with career highs and personal lows for the beleagured rapper, Waka Flocka has been passionately working on causes near and dear to his heart that speak to his Triple F's. In the winter of 2011, he started collaborating with Atlanta-based SNAPBACKS for a cause to develop a line of hats in which the proceeds would go to benefit PACER's National Bullying Prevention Center. And just last week, Waka Flocka earned another "Round of Applause" by teaming up once again with PETA in a campaign aimed at raising awareness about animal protection. In their "Only Cowards Abuse Animals" ad, Waka takes a stand against the chaining, fighting, and abuse of dogs.
Last October of 2010, Waka Flocka Flame burst onto the scene with his debut album Flockaveli which was dubbed as "the most anarchic rap album of 2010" by the Washington Post. Led by the #1 single and triple-platinum "No Hands" featuring Wale and Roscoe Dash, Flockaveli debuted at #6 and was both praised and criticized for its abandonment of lyrical prose for menacing, adrenaline-fused production. With over 300k copies sold, the New York Times cited Flockaveli 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."
