On Re-Up, Waka demonstrates his growth as an artist lyrically, yet continues to demonstrate that his gritty street authenticity will never fade away regardless of the fame he obtains. If you thought you knew what the definition of ‘turning up’ was, Waka will make you rethink that. Waka released a song with hit EDM artist Borgore last year, and as indicated by his tour with Aoki, Waka has recently announced that he will be releasing an EDM-laced rap album come 2014 as well. Waka was often juxtaposed with fellow rapper Gucci Mane in the infancy of their careers for their bass-heavy bangers, but Waka has shown the hip-hop game that he is here to stay by embracing a more entrepreneurial personality as an artist, far surpassing that of friend-turned-foe Gucci. Having risen to superstardom through club bangers such as “No Hands,” “Round of Applause” and “O Let’s Do It,” Waka knows how to get the crowd’s blood pumping. While the New York native might have Big Apple blood flowing through his veins, his southern style is far from it. As if that wasn’t enough, Waka has yet again filled the airwaves with his third mixtape in the past year, Re-Up.
Luckily, Waka has no problem keeping the fans engaged while they wait patiently: this past year, he has released two mixtapes and has toured the country with electro-house superstar Steve Aoki. It’s been more than one year since Waka Flocka Flame announced the release of his third studio album, Flockaveli 2, and fans are getting antsy.
