Classic Mixtape Run: Wiz Khalifa - Kush & Orange Juice

 

Widely considered one of the most influential hip-hop projects of the 2010s. Released on April 14, 2010, this not only made Wiz Khalifa a star, but it changed how artists used the internet to build a movement. When the mixtape dropped on DatPiff it literally crashed the servers because the site was getting so much traffic. Becoming the #1 trending topic on Google and Twitter, this laid the groundwork on how artist could benefit from media marketing. It proved that Wiz could reach a global audience without a major label. The concept of the mixtape was best off Wiz's love for a wake and bake sesh. The breakfast of true stoners. With production by Cardo, Sledgren and ID Labs, this tape was smoother and more soulful with a laid-back vibe. Tracks like "In the Cut", "The Kid Frankie' and "Mezmorized" were standouts, but thole tape had great replay value. This is what birthed the Taylo Gang lifestyle.
