Waka Flocka Flame just played Hot Jam in Hartford in June, and will make a stop at Toad’s Place. (Nick Caito)

The oft raunchy lyrics of Waka Flocka Flame may not appeal much outside fans of dirty southern hip-hop, but the man put on a solid performance at Hartford’s Hot Jam this past June.

Like most other artists from that bill, Flocka is returning to Connecticut, this time to Toad’s Place in New Haven on Oct. 11. Tickets are on sale Friday at noon through etix.com.
