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.
