15 years after Wiz Khalifa dropped his eighth mixtape Kush & Orange Juice, on April 14, 2010, the rapper has finally released the official sequel titled Kush + Orange Juice 2.
The new album dropped on Friday (April 18) and was distributed to streaming services via Taylor Gang Entertainment, under an exclusive license to BMG Rights Management.
Trending
Prior to the album's release, Wiz sat down for an exclusive interview with The Grammys where he suggested why he initially planned to not do a sequel for Kush & Orange Juice, wanting to leave the mixtape "alone".
"No, it has been recently for sure. Initially, it was something that I actually told people that I wasn't into doing a sequel — that I would always leave Kush & Orange Juice alone."
The rapper went on to explain that the project's development began while he was planning what the next Wiz Khalifa album would revolve around. He highlighted how Kush + Orange Juice 2 came about in service of fans who've been supporting him for years.
"I just thought, What would be the most satisfying for the fans and the people who support me? Should I start over and do something brand new, or to recreate something that they already love and that they're already used to? So that's what made me make the decision to work on a follow-up," Wiz Khalifa said.
Top Picks from Wiz Khalifa's 'Kush + Orange Juice 2' mixtape
The heavy-weight follow up to Wiz Khalifa's 2010 mixtape hosts 23 full-length records, as compared to Kush & Orange Juice's 18 record tracklist.
While Khalifa did highlight that Kush + Orange Juice 2 captures the "same vibe" as its predecessor, the inclusion of a new line of producers and impressive guest features makes this mixtape's experience feel way more elevated.
"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," Wiz explained.
Given the project was released before April 20, celebrated as "4/20" amongst Marijuana aficionados, the rapper took to Instagram on Sunday to promote his latest mixtape.
"It’s 4/20. So I need y'all to light the best of the best and get rid of the rest. Invite some of the homies and home girls over and throw a Kush and Orange Juice 2 party while you’re at it and get high as Wiz Khalifa y'all. Be safe and make get some food so you can make a mean plate. Taylor gang the world," he captioned.
