CMJ ’09: Wiz Khalifa
Southpaw; Tue 20
Wiz KhalifaPhotograph: Lizz KuehlSouthpaw; Tue 20
The fact that tattooed 22-year-old Wiz Khalifa is opening for Wu-Tang member U-God is already something of a seal of approval—though it’s unlikely to surprise anyone who saw his jaw-dropping set at Girl Talk’s Pool Party over the summer. The Pittsburgh MC has reinvented his sound since his techno-inspired “Say Yeah” hit the Billboard charts in 2008. His best work to date is his recent offering with New Orleans rapper (and onetime Lil Wayne sidekick) Curren$y. The two dropped the collaborative effort How Fly in August, showing Khalifa in a new light. Sounding almost Kid Cudi–esque as he maneuvers effortlessly between crooning and rapping, the young spitter seems to have found a new, mellow side within the melodies.—Jamie FalkowskiNEXT Fanfarlo

Wiz Khalifa kills every track he gets on.. flight school and how fly were classics... i cant wait for B.A.R. and Deal or No Deal... honestly my favorite artist of 2009
Wiz Khalifa is dope, i'm a fan of his music. Another track you should add to the list is 'boarding pass'
