• Let's talk Flo Rida's Elevator, now I knew they were playing this shit down here a lot, but I wasn't so sure if they were anywhere else. Welp, I got my answer as it just skyrocketed from 100-28 this week! Yes, that's a whopping 72 spots! Life is gonna for that nigga they call Flo BUT if his album flops anyway then I just don't know what to say about the music industry lol. Next week would be a good time for him to drop, but we'll see if he can stay hot until March 18th.
