Jul 8th 2010 The Career Advances of Wiz Khalifa
by a Guest Author
This Pittsburgh-born rapper has cultivated a steady fan base since the release of his first mixtape, Prince of the City: Welcome to Pistolvania in 2005. He has established himself as one to watch in the rapping arena; his combination of hip-hop, rap and techno sees him regularly at the top end of the download charts. His most recent album release, 2009′s Deal or No Deal, rose to number two on the iTunes store chart, higher than many of today’s most prolific music stars.
Khalifa fans will be pleased to know that all nine of the Wiz Khalifa Mixtapes can be downloaded free on wiz khalifa.
Following the success of Prince of the City, Khalifa was signed to Warner Bros. Records in 2007 and that same year he put out two more mixtapes, Grow Season and Prince of the City 2. In 2008, Star Power became his fourth mixtape, as his fan base continued to grow.
2009 saw the release of the next mixtape, Flight School to critical acclaim, however it was a year of change for Khalifa as he and Warner Bros. parted ways, following lengthy delays in the release of his intended debut album for the label. However, his relationship with Rostrum Records continued and the mixtape How Fly was released in August 2009. How Fly was a departure from his previous tapes – it was a collaboration with the New Orleans rapper Curren$y and incorporated singing as well as rapping for a more melody-based sound than his earlier work.
In November 2009 Khalifa’s seventh mixtape, Burn After Rolling saw him experiment further with his musical style, rapping over recognizable beats from artists such as Beyonce, Empire of the Sun and Drake.
This year has already welcomed another two Wiz Khalifa Mixtapes: Kush x Orange Juice and Cabin Fever. There is no doubt that this talented artist is on a roll!
