Wiz Khalifa Releases Highly Anticipated New Album Kush + Orange Juice 2

Multi-platinum selling, GRAMMY and Golden Globe-nominated recording artist, Wiz Khalifa, has released his highly anticipated new album, Kush + Orange Juice 2. Listen here. Kush + Orange Juice 2 makes its mark as Wiz’s eighth studio album and is the official follow-up to his 2010 breakout mixtape Kush & Orange Juice on the heels of its 15th anniversary. The new album features production from Kush & Orange Juice producers Cardo, ID Labs, and Sledgren, as well as producers Mike WiLL Made-It, Juicy J, Jason Martin, Dominique Sanders, DJ Quik, Crazy Mike, TM88, Crash Dummy, Lex Luger, DJ Fresh, and Kenneth Wright.

Reflecting on the album, Wiz shares that “For me, it’s the energy that goes into it. I’ve been working on this album for a year. I wanted to get it all the way right and everyone to be excited about it. I know my fans will understand it, and I want it to be another timeless classic. It takes time to get the vision fully there. This album is the same vibe as the first Kush & Orange Juice mixtape, but we took it to a new level with some new producers, new features, and new visuals while continuing the sound with lots of the original producers. It’s perfect for smoking, chilling, riding around with the homies, and hanging with the ladies, It’s a great album, it’s musical, it’s definitely 100% for my day one fans. It comes out on Friday April 18th just in time to celebrate 420.”
Kush + Orange Juice 2 follows the previous releases of singles “Hit It Once”, “Bring Your Lungs (ft. Smoke DZA)”, “Hide It (ft. Don Toliver)”, “Khalifa’s Home”, and “5 Star (ft. Gunna)”. With a strong 18-track core and 5 bonus tracks, the album’s 23-song lineup blends Wiz’s signature Kush & Orange Juice sound 15 years later with his evolved artistry and the album’s collaborators to create a fresh new listening experience for fans – just in time for 4/20. Wiz will also be performing a special 4/20 show at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO with Larry June, Ab-Soul, Chevy Woods and DJ Bonics.
In support of the album, Wiz is set to kick off his new tour, Wiz Khalifa – Taylor Gang the World, next month on May 20 in Nashville.

Sammy Hagar Announces 2026 “Best Of All Worlds Tour” With Special Guest Rick Springfield
Following two years of overwhelming fan demand, Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Sammy Hagar returns this summer with a special limited run of his acclaimed, top-grossing Best of All Worlds Tour. Hagar will be joined by rock heavyweights and longtime bandmates Michael Anthony (bass, backing vocals), Joe Satriani(guitar), and Kenny Aronoff (drums). The tour launches June 13, 2026 in St. Louis, Hagar’s musical home away from home, and concludes June 27, 2026, at MGM National Harbor in Oxon Hill, Maryland. Produced by Live Nation, the tour features special guest Rick Springfield.
Tickets On Sale Friday, January 16 at 10am local and ARTIST/Red Rocker/CITI presales begin Tuesday, January 13th at 10am local. Visit RedRocker.com for more information.
“We’re celebrating the legacy of the music and bringing it to a whole new generation of fans,“ said Sammy Hagar.
The 2026 tour reunites Hagar with the Best of All Worlds Band, featuring fellow Hall of Famer and original Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony, 15-time GRAMMY® nominee and guitar virtuoso Joe Satriani, and powerhouse drummer Kenny Aronoff. In addition, Greg Phillinganes, one of the most respected and accomplished keyboard artists in the world, is set to perform with the band on the tour. Collectively, Anthony, Satriani, and Aronoff have played together in nearly every phase of Hagar’s career—including Van Halen, Chickenfoot, and The Circle—so fans can expect a refreshed 2026 setlist drawing from some of the biggest rock anthems of the last four decades with hits including, “Finish What Ya Started,” “5150,” “Your Love Is Driving Me Crazy,” “Poundcake,” “Sexy Little Thing,” “One Way to Rock,” “Right Now,” “Summer Nights,” “Eagles Fly,” “Love Walks In,” “Encore, Thank You, Goodnight,” and more.
The newly announced shows continue the momentum of Hagar’s top-grossing 2024 Best of All Worlds Tour, his 2025 hit Las Vegas residency which returns to Dolby Live in Las Vegas beginning in March, and a summer UK tour in July.
The Best of All Worlds tour received universal raves from fans who’d been waiting 20 years to experience it live again, and critics who universally praised it.
“Hagar, alongside Anthony, made it clear that the tour was not just a performance but a ‘celebration’ of Van Halen’s enduring legacy.” – USA Today
“The “Van Hagar” period of Sammy Hagar’s career is still on top of the world.” – Las Vegas Review-Journal
“Sammy Hagar sounded ageless… Joe Satriani did a great job of channeling Eddie Van Halen (and more). The phrase ‘guitar hero’ is obviously overused, but Satriani more than lives up to the title.” – Arizona Republic
“Hagar and Anthony’s bond was palpable on stage… The crowd turned out in full force to hear Van Halen-era songs like ‘Right Now,’ ‘Best of Both Worlds,’ and ‘Why Can’t This Be Love,’ alongside Hagar’s solo classics. Their performance proved that age is just a number when the music is this good.” – Charlotte Observer
Joining them on the tour is rock legend Rick Springfield, the Grammy Award–winning artist who’s setlist packs 10 U.S. Top 10 singles, including “Jessie’s Girl,” “Don’t Talk to Strangers,” “Love Somebody,” “Human Touch,” and “I’ve Done Everything for You,” written by Hagar. With more than 25 million records sold worldwide, Springfield remains one of the most enduring artists of his era. The tour reunites two longtime friends and collaborators whose connection spans more than four decades and extends beyond the music, with Hagar and Springfield also spirit partners in Beach Bar Rum.
