Flo Rida's Mail on Sunday: An Above-Average Hip-Hop Debut

The Reviewer
Miami, Florida, rapper Flo Rida had one of the biggest songs of 2007 with his hit, Low, with T-Pain. Now the 28-year-old rapper is poised to continue his success with his solo debut album, Mail On Sunday. Will Flo Rida be able to capitalize on the success of Low to create a classic hip-hop album?

The first single off of Mail On Sunday is the extremely popular single Low. The single features Tallahassee, Florida native T-Pain. The song is what the critics think is wrong with rap nowadays. The single could be considered "Ringtone Rap", however the song is extremely catchy and infectious. The song is also featured on the Step Up 2: The Streets soundtrack.

The second single is the even catchier Elevator produced by and featuring Timbaland. The song is one of the most infectious singles in recent memory. The song captures all of the catchiness of previous singles like Promiscuous Girl with Nelly Furtado but adds a slightly harder urban edge.

On In The Ayer Flo Rida is joined by Will.I.Am and Fergie. The song has a distinctively 80's club sound. The song is fairly catchy but not the best track on the album. Will.I.Am comes with a very catchy beat and a simplistic yet memorable chorus.

American Superstar features Lil Wayne. The song features a beat which is fairly catchy and solid verses from both Flo Rida and Lil Wayne. The song definitely has single potential.

On Roll Flo Rida teams with Sean Kingston. The track is produced by Jonathan "JR" Rotem. The song is simplistic yet very catchy. Sean Kingston delivers a solid chorus which elevates the track.

All My Life is another catchy song. The beat and the three word chorus are especially catchy. However Flo Rida's flow does not gel well with the track.

Trey Songz joins Flo Rida on Freaky Deaky. The song is fairly solid and features solid vocals from Trey Songz but not much else.

Don't Know How To Act pairs Flo Rida with Yung Joc. The song is definitely going to be a street anthem in the future. The song features a pulsating drum pattern along with minimalist synths.

Money Right features other Miami heavyweights Rick Ross and Brisco. The song is a standard posse cut with not much depth.

Mail On Sunday is an above-average, hip-hop debut album. The album features hit singles along with a variety of other tracks. Mail On Sunday gets 7.5 out of 10. If you are a fan of Flo Rida, make sure you pick up his debut album Mail On Sunday when it is available in stores on March 18th.
