Who is this young flow master who is putting Pittsburgh on the map as the city that is reinventing hip-hop? Wiz is a very special and ambitious young musician who freely credits his talent for blending different sounds from the education he received traveling the world with his military parents.
In 2007, Wiz has a single “Say Yeah” that reached number twenty five on Billboard’s Rhythmic top forty and number twenty on Billboard’s Hot Rap Tracks. He has collaborated with New Orleans rapper Curren$y on a mixtape How Fly. At the 2009 CMJ Music Marathon in New York City, Wiz opened for Wu-Tang Clan member U-God.
As Wiz blends old school R&B, classic rock and soul into new and exciting sounds, he is reinventing how the music reaches fans through his use of the Internet and his web wiz khalifa site, YouTube, Twitter and Uscream. Wiz embraces mixtapes as a way to get his music out by combining the songs to make his messages stronger and bolder.
Wiz Khalifa offers his valuable insight on the music industry, his aggressive concert schedule for fans who want to attend, videos, written updates and even posts free downloads that are not found in any stores. Wiz has a simple philosophy: work hard, put yourself into what you are doing, put out the material and let people hear you.
This works with Wiz as he released his first Wiz Khalifa Mixtape in 2005 and a full-length album in 2006. In 2006, Rolling Stone magazine declared him an artist to watch and in March of 2010, he appeared on the cover of XXL Magazine as one of the top 10 freshman of the year.
Wiz continues to develop his talent as a musician. His latest work has a more powerful approach with harder hitting beats and is filled with brass and synthesized additives. Hip-hop fans who are following Wiz Khalifa Mixtapes closely will be waiting for his next set of mixtapes
