In April 2010, Khalifa released a mixtape, Kush & Orange Juice, which acquired widespread attention after topping Google's Hot Search Trends list: this brought Khalifa to the attention of Atlantic Records, who promptly signed him. Disagreements with Warner over the release of a purported major-label debut album led Khalifa to departed from the label, and release his second studio album Deal or No Deal in 2009 on Rostrum Records alone. The latter became his first song to appear on a Billboard chart, peaking at number 20 on the US Hot Rap Songs. At Warner, Khalifa released the singles "Youngin' on His Grind" and " Say Yeah".
Records signed Khalifa in 2007 as part of a joint deal with Rostrum. Following the release of Show and Prove, Warner Bros. After signing to independent record label Rostrum Records at a young age, Khalifa released his first mixtape Prince of the City: Welcome to Pistolvania, and his first studio album, Show and Prove (2006).
(It’s worth noting that some of his biggest tracks were produced by Stargate, benny blanco, and the Bruno Mars team The Smeezingtons-pop producers, not rap ones.) After reaching a pop peak with his 2015 Charlie Puth collaboration, “See You Again,” Khalifa scaled things back, releasing a sequel to Rolling Papers and a breezy collaboration with New Orleans rapper Curren$y ( 2009), followed by The Saga of Wiz Khalifa in 2020.American rapper Wiz Khalifa has released seven studio albums, one compilation album, one soundtrack album, three extended plays (EP), two collaborative albums, 84 singles (including 44 as a featured artist), sixteen promotional singles, twenty-one mixtapes, and 82 music videos. From the beginning, Khalifa seemed indifferent to genre, mixing hip-hop with hints of club music and the anthemic quality of great pop-a flexibility that made him as likely to show up on a Maroon 5 track as a Chief Keef one. He started releasing mixtapes around 2005, racking up an increasingly high-profile set of features before breaking through with 2011’s Rolling Papers. Or, as he put it on “Black and Yellow,” “Get fly and take trips and that’s that-real rap.”Ī military kid, Khalifa (born Cameron Thomaz in 1987) spent most of his childhood bouncing around before settling in Pittsburgh. From the beginning, there was something low-key and effortless about him, a joie de vivre that made his music-“No Sleep,” “Work Hard, Play Hard,” “Mezmorized”-feel like a party. Some rappers want to take over the world Wiz Khalifa just wants to meet girls, get money, and smoke as much weed as his constitution will allow.
