2010 XXL Freshman Wiz Khalifa has both titled his forthcoming major label debut album and revealed his release date . The Pittsburgh, PA MC took to his Twitter account earlier to announce: “Rolling Papers: March 29” As previously reported, along with Stargate, who were responsible for his platinum selling hit, “Black & Yellow,” Wiz has gone into the studio with The Neptunes’s Pharrell Williams and Jim Jonsin. While the other producers are unknown, Young Khalifa is certain he has some bangers in store for fans. “Everything that we drop after ‘Black and Yellow’ is going to do as well or better,” Khalifa told billboard.com. “‘Black & Yellow’ was just supposed to be a set-up record. We haven’t even gotten into the good stuff. So with ‘Black and Yellow’ taking off and people getting behind it and supporting it that much, that’s just great, great for what’s going to happen after that. I mean, I just feel that good about it.” Last Sunday Wiz performed his hometown theme song at the Pittsburgh Steelers Vs. NY Jets AFC Championship game. —Elan Mancini www.xxlmag.com/news/2011/01/wiz-khalifa-rolling-out-with-major-label-debut-on-march-29/ |

His mixtapes are pretty good too. Kush & OJ was probably my favorite (with "The Kid Frankie" probably being my favorite song recorded by him).

Roll Up is so good. Stargate is really stepping up their production.

I think Roll Up is going to smash. He's the next big thing I think.

I hate Roll Up. I love Wiz, but come onnnnn, that song is such garbage compared to some of his old stuff. If he's going for catchy at least do it in the same vein as "This Plane", lyrically sick and AMAZING flow. (RU) is so....generic.

I mean, since I have nothing to compare it to, it sounds OK to me. Very commercial, which must be a departure from his older stuff. Outside of the overkill of smoking references, he should get quite a few hits from this album.

ALWAYS. But I don't care if he's going Mainstream with the album, just as long as that sh*t bumps.

EW gave it a B+ and put it on their "Must" list for this week but I just think it's OK. If you only heard of him through B&Y then you should like it but I've heard his mixtapes and I'm not too impressed :/ |
