In the booth, Wiz jumps from rapping to singing and vice versa, looking to find new (for him) ways to stamp melodies and stoner mantras into our brains. Wiz and wife/model Amber Rose have a son now (Sebastian), and whereas parenthood tends to make artists more contemplative, Wiz, being Wiz, told the Detroit Free Press that it’s a reason to be a lovable goof even more of the time, “whether it be like singing all day or laughing and being silly and just joking and stuff like that.”
More importantly, though, it’s a Wiz Khalifa album, the product of a lighthearted guy as likely to adopt a Jamaican accent on a weed song as he is to uncork a truly impressive flow. Above all, he remains in full control of his ability to make entire high schools chiller by extension - too chill, maybe, considering that he’s shown virtually no interest in ramping up his style. Now 26 years old and on his fifth solo album, Blacc Hollywood, Wiz has developed a prodigious ear for melody, puts it to regular use, and continues to write songs that could be subtitled “Smoking with Wiz 101 - Swishers Strictly Prohibited”. Wiz Khalifa is not a risk taker, unless you count his insistence on carrying his own weed and all the resulting police hounding.
