Music Awards nominations, for "Best R&B/Urban Dance Track" and "Best Rap/Hip Hop Dance Track."
Flo Rida is without question one of today's most vibrant and recognizable superstars, a true international icon and history-making hip-hop hero. The Miami-based rapper burst onto the scene in 2007 with his record-breaking #1 hit, "Low (Feat. T-Pain)," which spent 10 consecutive weeks atop the Billboard "Hot 100." With sales exceeding 11 million, "Low" -- found on Flo's acclaimed 2008 debut album, "MAIL ON SUNDAY" -- is one of the most successful digital singles of the past decade, making its way into the Guinness Book of World Records as 2008's best-selling download in the United States.

In addition to guest appearances on such tracks as
David Guetta's "Where Them Girls At (Feat.
