First featured on Flo Rida’s 2015 “MY HOUSE” EP, “My House” has dominated popular culture in recent months, from Pizza Hut’s 2016 Super Bowl 50 commercial to Flo’s stellar live performance on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. One of the official theme songs for WWE’s record-breaking Wrestlemania, “My House” is also a worldwide favorite, with gold certification in Australia and platinum certification in New Zealand. In addition, the “My House” companion video – directed by Alex Acosta – is an online smash, with more than 145 million individual page views and counting at Flo’s official YouTube channel.

“MY HOUSE” was released in April 2015 and immediately entered the top 10 on Billboard’s “Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums” and “Top Rap Albums” chart. The EP features a number of hugely popular singles in addition to the #1 title track, including the 3x RIAA certified platinum single, “G.D.F.R. (Feat. Sage the Gemini & Lookas).” A #1 smash on the iTunes Store’s “Top Hip-Hop/Rap Songs” chart, the track – which is also included on Atlantic’s worldwide #1 “FURIOUS 7 – ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK” – proved another huge hip hop hit for Flo Rida, reaching the top 3 on Billboard’s “Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs” while also ranking as his impressive tenth top 10 on the overall “Hot 100.” What’s more, the “G.D.F.R. (Feat. Sage the Gemini & Lookas)” companion video – directed by Malcolm Jones (R. Kelly, Chris Brown) – has logged more than 236 million individual YouTube views this far.
Flo Rida is of course one of today’s most vibrant and recognizable superstars, a true international icon and history-making hip-hop hero. Bursting out of the gate in 2007 with the RIAA 7x platinum certified hit, “Low (Feat. T-Pain)” – which spent 10 consecutive weeks atop the Billboard “Hot 100” – the Miami-based rapper has unleashed an undeniably amazing string of record-breaking, multi-platinum certified singles, including the worldwide #1 favorite, “Right Round (Feat. Ke$ha)” (5x platinum), “In The Ayer (Feat. will.i.am)” (2x platinum), “Club Can’t Handle Me (Feat. David Guetta),” (3x platinum), “Good Feeling” (4x platinum), “Wild Ones (Feat. Sia)” (4x platinum), “Whistle” (2x platinum), and “I Cry” (2x platinum). In addition, Flo has made myriad guest appearances on such blockbuster tracks as David Guetta’s platinum certified “Where Them Girls At (Feat. Flo Rida & Nicki Minaj),” Olly Murs’ platinum certified “Troublemaker (Feat. Flo Rida),” and Taio Cruz’ planetary chart-topper, “Hangover (Feat. Flo Rida).” All told, Flo Rida has sold well over 100 million singles worldwide.
