At the age of nine, he moved with his family to Riverdale, Georgia. Juaquin James Malphurs was born in the South Jamaica neighborhood of Queens in New York City. Since then, he has multiplied his number of intermediate mixtape releases - including a stylistic if no less hedonistic diversion into EDM - as his fans have yearned for the promised proper sequel to Flockaveli. After releasing Ferrari Boyz (2011), a duo album with the supportive Gucci Mane, Waka Flocka followed up with a second Top Ten LP, Triple F Life: Friends, Fans, and Family (2012). That hit led to Flockaveli (2010), a Top Ten album armed with "Hard in da Paint" and "No Hands," similarly rowdy and memorable hits that were quickly RIAA-certified. One of the biggest commercial rap breakouts of the late aughts and early 2010s was that of Waka Flocka Flame, an Atlanta-based artist who crashed the Top 20 of the Billboard R&B/hip-hop chart with "O Let's Do It" (2009), a boisterous collaboration with producer L-Don Beatz.
