American rapper Flo Rida has released four studio albums, four extended plays, 41 singles as a lead artist (28 of which comprise featured appearances), twelve promotional singles and 24 music videos. Growing up in Florida, the state from which his name was derived, he was involved in a hip hop group in his teenage years. A solo demo recording initially met rejection from several label companies, but was eventually accepted by Poe Boy Entertainment, with whom Flo Rida signed in 2006.{{cite magazine|url=http://login.vnuemedia.com/bbbiz/search/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003678482|title=Flo Rida|date=2007-11-28|first=Mariel|last=Concepcion|magazine=Billboard, Inc|access-date=2010-12-04}}{{cite web|url={{AllMusic|class=artist|id=p923332/biography|pure_url=yes}}|title=Flo Rida: Biography|first=Andy|last=Kellman|publisher=allmusic.
