Rida’s first single has already debuted on the net. Titled “Right Round,” the song which can be found on his website and MySpace page, is a take on the 80s hit “You Spin Me Right Round (Like A Record),” bey Dead Or Alive.

    I hope for his sake, this album is good. The last one was just commercial bullshit.

    • $ykotic

      I think commercial is his lane.

      Could’ve done a lil better with the acronym.

  • Sidewalks Of NY

    His next album will probably sound like his debut album. Full of club records. Thats his lane and the females like his music, so if that formula is working for him, no need to change it up.

    Flo Rida is a fucking clown. I hate his music.

  • ajack

    I’m gonna have to stick up for my boy Flo Rida here. Yeah I understand sometimes lyrically is is underpar, but he makes hot songs and that’s the bottom line. He had some bangers on that last album, and hopefully R.O.O.T.S. will be as successful if not more than his prior release.
