Win a signed Flo Rida album!

Flo Rida - Mail On Sunday

Flo Rida releases his new album Routes Of Overcoming The Struggle (R.O.O.T.S) on Monday, a collection of thirteen tracks which see Flo Rida working with artists including Nelly Furtado, Ne-yo and Wyclef Jean.

Since the mammoth success of ‘Low’, the Grammy-nominated rapper has been keeping busy – finishing writing and recording his second album Routes Of Overcoming The Struggle (the follow-up to last years UK silver-certified Mail On Sunday), guesting on tracks with T-Pain and Sean Paul, and contributing to the massive collaborative remix of Rick Ross Speedin, which also featured an alumni of hip-hop heavyweights including Busta Rhymes, Fat Joe and Lil Wayne.

Not that the road to success has been an easy one for Flo. He got his first break at 18 when touring with as the hype man for Fresh Kid Ice of 2 Live Crew, and his MC skills caught the attention of DeVante Swing – formerly of the famed R&B group Jodeci. Swing flew the young rapper out to LA, where Flo ended up staying for three years, struggling to make his mark. “I was literally on the streets, at times promoting myself by myself”, he says. In early 2006, hesitant to leave L.A. until he had successfully landed a record deal, he returned to Miami.

Continuing his grind, working hard to self promote and with the help of CEO of Poe Entertainments E-Class, he signed first to Poe Entertainment and then to Atlantic Records. “That was the greatest moment of my life, Flo Rida recalls. I had been working so hard for so long. I had jobs in construction, I worked in warehouses, and Im talking about some of the bummiest jobs. But those were all the sacrifices I made by putting my money towards my music, and it finally paid off.”

To get yourself ready for the new album, we’ve got three signed copies of Flo’s first album Mail On Sunday to give away.
