Born to a military family, Wiz Khalifa’s early years were spent moving from country to country, never truly able to call one place home. This international upbringing has been reflected in the rapper’s music and found him success with his 2008 single “Say Yeah”, which featured Wiz Khalifa’s rap lyrics over a Eurodance track. Taking inspiration from a variety of artists such as Jimi Hendrix, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony and Notorious B.I.G., Wiz Khalifa plays with a range of musical styles within his tracks, but all are equally melodic.

Known for cultivating a strong fan following from a grassroots level, Wiz Khalifa found his popularity continue to increase after the release of his free mix tape “Kush and Orange Juice”. The mix tape generated so much excitement from fans that it ended up being the number one trending topic on Twitter shortly after its release, and led the rapper to sell out every gig in his 2010 “Waken Baken” tour. Moving away from Warner Brothers due to delays in releasing his material, Wiz Khalifa switched to Atlantic Records in 2010 and released single “Black and Yellow” shortly after. The single hit the number one spot in the US charts and earned him a Grammy and MTV VMA Award nomination.

The success of this single bolstered anticipation for Wiz Khalifa’s 2011 studio album “Rolling Papers”, which debuted at number 2 on the US Billboard charts. It wasn’t long before this success was repeated when Wiz Khalifa’s 2012 album “O.N.I.F.C” once again debuted in the US number 2 spot with single “Work Hard, Play Hard” reaching number 3 in the rap charts.

Unprepared to rest on his laurels, Wiz Khalifa formed his own record label Taylor Gang Records and has collaborated with Curren$y on a collaborative EP. Furthermore, Wiz Khalifa upped his own achievements yet again with the release of his fifth studio album “Blacc Hollywood” in 2014, which hit the number one spot in the US Billboard charts. I originally didn't come to see Wiz Khalifa, and didn't mind the idea of missing part of his set and showing up for the entirety of the Fall Out Boy part.

But by the end of the night, I've got to say that Wiz is a better showman, better live performer, and more energetic than FOB was, even with their more dedicated fan base. Opening with a video of his smoking a joint with two naked women, I knew the concert was going to be something to remember, and while he was onstage it never quieted down. Even from the lawn section (not ideal seats, but super cheap) I was able to see and hear everything, due to massive screens, great sound, and visual effects of epic proportions. Every time he rapped about weed, green smoke and marijuana leafs would envelop the stage and appear on the screen behind him, while sometimes showing clips of his music videos along with the performance. Unlike FOB, he never left the stage until he was done, performing some of his best, like Black and Yellow, You and You're Friends, A$$ Drop, Promises, So High, Stayin out all night, and a particularly great performances of Work Hard Play Hard and Young Wild & Free. Even when I didn't know the songs he played, like roll up and Taylor Gang, the energy was enough to keep me going and I was never bored.
