The Complete Guide to Wiz Khalifa's 'Blacc Hollywood' Album

FUSE TV - The Complete Guide to Wiz Khalifa's 'Blacc Hollywood' Album

The Buildup

The last couple of years have been crazy busy for rapper Wiz Khalifa. He married Amber Rose, they had a son, he co-wrote the theme song for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot and even and had the city of Pittsburgh declare December 12 "Wiz Khalifa Day."

Recently, Wiz announced that his fifth full-length, Blacc Hollywood, will drop August 19, following 2012's O.N.I.F.C. Here's everything we know about it!

The Music

Wiz shared the music video for "We Dem Boyz" back in April, with the hometown anthem documenting a day in the life of Khalifa. In it, the rapper smokes a joint, frolics down his street and joins a block party. There's plently of BBQ, ice cream trucks and even appearances from Juicy J, Curren$y, Ty Dolla $ign and more.

In July, Khalifa released "KK," his second single from Blacc Hollywood. The rapper returns to his classic sound, waxing poetic on his favorite herbal refreshment while repeating "KK Blowin'" throughout the track. (KK here meaning "Khalifa Kush," obviously.)

On August 4, he dropped "Promises," a slow-burning ballad that's very different from the Wiz we know and love. He's singing here, for almost the entirety of the track! Perhaps being a dad and a husband has softened the guy?

On August 12 Wiz shared "True Colors," his collaboration with Nicki Minaj. The track is something of an empowering anthem, with Minaj declaring "Call me Nicki M. Ali / These bitches know I’m the greatest." 

In October 2013, Mannie Fresh told XXL that he produced the record, claiming that Blacc Hollywood marks “the rebirth of Mannie Fresh. It’s been busy for me, that’s all I can say is thank the fans, thank God, the people who believe in me.” Sounds promising!
