Wiz Khalifa Inks Deal With Atlantic Records

by MrWhiteFolks on July 30th, 2010

http://media.defsounds.com/uploads/assets/2427/44/37049/asset.pngAs Def Sounds reported earlier today, Rick Ross was attempting to sign Wiz Khalifa to his Maybach Music label, well that's not going to happen because the Pittsburgh rapper has just inked a major label deal.

Rostrum Records, the Indie home of Wiz has announced that he has officially signed with Atlantic Records, which is also the home of Lupe Fiasco.

It has also been announced that Wiz will release his yet to be titled major label debut album in the first quarter of 2011.

The PA rapper will also kick-off his Waken Bake tour this September. The tour will hit 55 cities across the US.

yeah, what’s better than signing with a label that has people petitioning to have one of the artist release an album cause they wont?

Can’t really tell if it’s a smart or dumb move yet. I just hope they give him the debut he deserves and don’t constantly push him back.

Rappers who don’t have the talent that the fans think they do

Lloyd (Filler Line) Banks
Wiz (Same Topic) Khalifa
Joe (Weakest Link) Budden
Kid (Depressing No Quoteables) Cudi
Philly (Annoying Non-Rhyming) Freeza

Don’t be fooled by these artists, They wont live up to the hype, just like I said Drake wouldn’t when everyone was on his nuts, and what happened with his new album? Rap upset of the year….

Why’d yall trash these niggas?

And Jaffar… I know hes totally a G-unit stan but why does he get trashed into oblivion every time he posts? He didnt even mention any artist of aftermath but yall trashed him 9 times already?

Why dont we just save our trashes for when Missippi comes thru to fuck the page up?

I never trash peoples opinions. Stupid remarks and spam is all I trash. Isnt everyone entitled to their opinion?

Its easier for us to scroll past a comment that we disagree with rather than just trash it out of spite.

Lol. I knew at least one person would recognize the guns.

It took me forever to draw my username on those cheeks. I thought I was a good artist before then. The canvas made up for the lack of artistry tho. lol. & I thought I grabbed the washables but oops….. now she cant wash it off!!!

Listen to Wiz while smoking man….Wiz is a good ass artist…its just that he only has the “weed, party and bitches” lane. But he’ss got that lane on smash…
dudes a great addition to any musical lineup.

def worth it to look through his music.

I recommend Kush and OJ and Burn After Rolling.
