On February 11, 2014, Wiz Khalifa released the album's lead single, titled " We Dem Boyz". In August 2014, in an interview with USA Today, he said that this album will be his best work yet. Khalifa released his twelfth mixtape, titled 28 Grams. On May 25, 2014, after posting several "weedmixes" and teasers, and after getting out of jail for the marijuana possession. On June 30, 2014, Khalifa posted his Instagram account, with the cover art and release date for Blacc Hollywood, and he also announced that the album is officially set to be released on August 19, 2014. “KHALIFA” is available on Apple Music and Spotify.On June 24, 2013, Wiz Khalifa announced the title to his third major label (fifth overall) studio album, called Blacc Hollywood, and this project would be featuring some collaborations from American pop singer Miley Cyrus and his label-mate Juicy J. What lays ahead in the future this year for Khalifa remains to be seen, but so far 2016 looks promising - and you know how he feels about breaking promises. To put it simply, Khalifa loves his life and his newest album shows it. Is he rapping about social issues that trouble the world? No, but Khalifa’s music brings positivity without the stereotypical “I’m from the streets” rapper persona. One of Khalifa’s biggest strengths is how he has stayed consistent with making quality music and this album embodies that. Since the Twitter war, Khalifa and West have settled their differences. “14th n- it’s called creativity #youshouldtryitsomeday,” West tweeted during the fight and later deleted. He has caught critique in the past from other rappers like Kanye West in the famous Twitter war a few weeks ago. Khalifa spends most of the album rapping about meaningless situations like smoking marijuana all day and hanging with his friends. As Scott himself would say, “It’s lit!”Īlthough this album has been an overall success for Khalifa, taking him to the top of the iTunes album chart, the lack of context in his lyrics seems to be a pattern. The mixture of Khalifa’s smooth voice in the verses with Scott’s futuristic auto-tuned chorus is a combination all rap fans can vibe with. Of the major features on “KHALIFA,” it seems “Bake Sale,” featuring Travis Scott, has the most radio potential. “Bake Sale,” “Most Of Us” and “Cowboy” give listeners the chance to hear the Khalifa similar to a project from two years ago called “28 Grams.” Khalifa continued his expansion beyond just hip-hop into trap music as well-artists like Future or Young Thug are very popular in this genre. Don’t be surprised if you catch yourself bobbing your head to the beats as these songs are irresistibly catchy. Songs like “No Permission,” “Celebrate” and “BTS” captivate the old school Khalifa. Besides “Call Waiting” and “Zoney,” which features a conversation with his son Sebastian, Khalifa focuses his energy on bangers.

Unlike “Blacc Hollywood” or “See You Again,” “KHALIFA” is full of upbeat songs where the lyrics are mostly about partying, making money, the Taylor Gang family and of course the girls that come along with the lifestyle. The album also includes big name features such as Travis Scott, Ty Dolla $ign and Juicy J. The 13-track album showcases Khalifa going back to his roots of rapping using his trademark side-to-side style of flow, along with catchy choruses and airy beats. After what was a relatively quiet 2015 for the pro-marijuana rapper from Pittsburg, Wiz Khalifa kicks off 2016 with some fire from his new self-titled album, “KHALIFA.”
