***Often imitated but never matched, FLAVOR FLAV drops his first-ever solo album. As PUBLIC ENEMY's #1 hype man, Flav innovated a uniquely crazed vocal style that influenced Busta Rhymes, Ol' Dirty Bastard and a generation of high-energy showmen. However, Flav is more than just a showman and his contributions to Public Enemy have been just as strong as Chuck D's with hits as frontman including "Cold Lampin' with Flavor" and "911 Is a Joke." In the 2000s, Flav's notoriety has increased thanks to television. Starting with The Surreal Life and moving on to VH1's Strange Love and Flavor of Love, Flav has becoming instantly recognizable superstar to millions of viewers. Flavor of Love is VH1's highest rated show ever and his crossover appeal has never been higher.
