Waka Flocka Flame to play WCU
Acclaimed rapper Waka Flocka Flame will hit the stage at 8 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 14, in the Ramsey Regional Activity Center at Western Carolina University.
The 28-year-old Waka Flocka Flame released his debut album “Flockaveli” in October of 2009, which peaked at No. 2 on Billboard Magazine’s Top 100. A protégé of Gucci Mane, the rapper had a quick rise in popularity, which saw him collaborate with top hip-hop artists like T.I., Drake and B.o.B. After signing with Atlantic Records, he released “Flockaveli II” last June. Performing with Waka Flocka Flame will be up-and-coming Atlantic Records rhythm and blues artist PJ, who was raised in both North Carolina and Atlanta.
