ABOUT WIZ KHALIFA:
“BLACC HOLLYWOOD” is the follow-up to Wiz’ Rostrum/ Atlantic Records sophomore album, “O.N.I.F.C.” which was released December 2012, debuting at #2 on the Billboard “Top 200 Albums” chart and #1 on Billboard’s “Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums” and “Top Rap Albums” charts, and #1 on iTunes’ “Overall Albums” and “Top Hip-Hop/Rap Albums” charts. Wiz earned himself a nomination at the 56th Annual GRAMMY® Awards for his Platinum-certified single, “Remember You,” Ft. The Weeknd in the “Best Rap/Sung Collaboration” category, adding to a career total of 5 nominations.
Wiz’s first major label debut, “ROLLING PAPERS”, which was released in March 2011, spawned the multi-platinum hits “Black and Yellow,” and double- “Roll Up” and “No Sleep.” Wiz earned himself two nominations at the 2011 Grammy Awards thanks to his breakout hit “Black and Yellow,” in both the “Best Rap Song” and “Best Rap Performance” categories. Khalifa then joined forces with Snoop Dogg for “MAC AND DEVIN GO TO HIGH SCHOOL SOUNDTRACK,” the collaborative soundtrack album for the film “Mac and Devin Go to High School.” The album featured the hit single “Young, Wild & Free” featuring Bruno Mars, which has gone on to become 3x-certified Platinum, and a top 10 success on Billboard’s “Hot 100 Singles” chart.
