Wiz Khalifa and RAW(R) Rolling Papers Join Forces for New Line of Smoking Accessories - Seite 2

"O.N.I.F.C.," the follow up to "ROLLING PAPERS," was released in December 2012 and debuted at #2 on the Billboard "Top 200 Albums" chart, while also sitting at #1 on Billboard's "Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums" and "Top Rap Albums" charts. The album featured the hits "Work Hard, Play Hard," "Remember You (feat. The Weekend)," and "Let It Go (feat. Akon)." In 2012, Wiz continued his rap reign by receiving two Grammy nominations for "Best Rap Song" for his collaboration with Snoop Dogg, "Young, Wild & Free" featuring Bruno Mars, from the soundtrack "MAC AND DEVIN GO TO HIGH SCHOOL," and "Best Pop Duo/Group Performance" for his collaboration with Maroon 5 on their chart-topping hit single, "Payphone."

Most recently, Wiz has added fashion designer to his resume, releasing his own line of hats with Flat Fitty, a fashion line with Eleven Paris in Europe. Khalifa's love for the classic Chuck Taylor sneaker came full circle when he teamed up with Converse for the "Chuck Taylor All Star Wiz Khalifa Collection," which features styles inspired by the rapper's fun-spirited, fashion forward style. The sneakers launched at Foot Locker in 2013 with additional styles launching in summer 2014.

Wiz is hard at work in the studio, recording his highly-anticipated third solo studio album "Blacc Hollywood," featuring his new single "We Dem Boyz." You can catch him next headlining the Under the Influence of Music Tour this summer where Wiz Khalifa RAW® products will also be sold.
