T.G.O.D.

By Wayne Lee

Taylor Gang Or Die is what he reps and Pittsburgh  is where he's from. I'm talking about Wiz Khalifa,who had an amazing 2011 with his release of Rolling Papers and has jumped on many songs with Snoop Dogg, Rick Ross and CeeLo Green. Wiz rose to fame after his radio single "Say Yeah" hit the clubs and the radio but people only knew him as the guy who sampled Alice DeeJay's Better Off Alone and not the grinding young artist. Wiz went back to the drawing board and returned with mixtapes like Burn After Rolling, Flight School, And How Fly with Curren$y, but nothing brought him more attention then Kush And Orange Juice. That mixtape itself changed the game for the independent artist and got Wiz major deal offers. With songs like "The Statement"  and "Never Been" Kush and O.J. was one of the most downloaded mixtapes of 2010 and earned him a spot in XXL's Freshman Ten 2010 edition. After letting the world know who he was, Still signed to his independent label Rostrum Records, Wiz signed to Atlantic Records and released  Rolling Papers. With the lead single and Pittsburgh anthem "Black and Yellow" blasting through the streets of the Country, Wiz finally knew Mainstream success.

With Rolling Papers going Gold, Wiz released a joint album with Snoop Dogg, and 2 mixtapes Cabin Fever and the newest one being  Taylor Allderdice which dropped last week, Wiz is one of the biggest artists in the game. Just engaged to his girlfriend Amber Rose and starting his own label "Taylor Gang Records" Wiz has taken #Flight and I doubt this plane is landing anytime soon.
