Atlanta rapper Waka Flocka Flame recently released his hit single “O Let’s Do It” which managed to climb to No. 15 on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart thus far. Since it hit airwaves, the track has been remixed by rappers such as Lil Wayne, Ludacris, Wale and others. Waka Flocka spoke to Billboard.com about his surprise that other artists would reach out to him.
“Rick Ross is the only guy I reached out to,” said the 23 year-old rapper. “Then Diddy reached out to me and Gucci [Mane] was like, ‘I’m getting on that. That’s hard!’ Now it seems everybody’s jumping on it.”
However, the young rapper, who was recently shot during a robbery, is not letting the success get to his head.
“One single doesn’t declare a person valid for an album. If I had one or two more songs buzzing crazy then I’d say, ‘I’m ready.’ But even with ‘O Let’s Do It,’ doing good…when you put it up against Trey Songz’ ‘Say Ahh’ or a Jay-Z track, it will be at the bottom of the barrel.”

Although he has no plans to release an album just yet, Waka Flocka will drop several mixtapes which will include collaborations with Gucci Mane and OJ Da Juiceman, as well as G-Unit members Tony Yayo and Lloyd Banks.
