Wiz Khalifa broke through as a major rap star with Rolling Papers, a breakout album that paired mainstream reach with laid-back charisma and hit records like “Black and Yellow,” “Roll Up,” and “No Sleep.” That run quickly made him one of the defining rap artists of the 2010s, with later albums and singles continuing to expand his reach across charts, radio, and soundtrack placements.
His rise kept building through projects like O.N.I.F.C. and Blacc Hollywood, the latter debuting at number one on the Billboard 200. Along the way, songs like “Work Hard, Play Hard,” “Remember You,” and “We Dem Boyz” helped reinforce his identity, while “See You Again” pushed him to another level globally with chart success across 95 countries and a Golden Globe nomination.
