Wiz

Cameron Jibril Thomaz better known by his stage name Wiz Khalifa, is set to release his latest album entitled Multiverse on July 29, 2022, at midnight. The highly anticipated album from the known Toker is his 8th studio album to date!
Wiz Khalifa released his debut album, Show and Prove, in 2006 and signed to Warner Bros. Records in 2007. His Eurodance-influenced single “Say Yeah” received urban radio airplay, charting on the Rhythmic Top 40 and Hot Rap Tracks charts in 2008, becoming his first minor hit.

Of all the known treasures resting in the Motown vaults, one of the most tantalizing had always been Diana Ross Sings Songs From The Wiz. Not a lot was known about the project, aside from the fact that Ross recorded it soon after she’d filmed her role as Dorothy for the 1978 movie musical The Wiz. Of course, the reason for recording the album was obvious; MCA Records released the film’s actual soundtrack, and Motown wanted to be ready with its own project to capitalize off of the anticipated success. After all, Diana Ross was still a Motown artist, and her previous two films (Lady Sings The Blues and Mahogany) had led to a #1 album and a #1 single, respectively; surely this — a full-fledged musical — would do the same. But when The Wiz finally opened in October 1978, it performed far below expectations, despite boasting a big budget and an all-star cast. Thus, the planned Motown Wiz LP was put on the shelf, and Miss Ross moved forward with another album (1979’s The Boss, restoring her to popular favor).

Get ready to click your heels-the smash-hit 1978 soundtrack to The Wiz is finally on CD! Quincy Jones, along with Ashford & Simpson, adapted the Tony Award-winning score for the film, and the list of performers is amazing: Diana Ross, a 19-year-old Michael Jackson, Lena Horne, Richard Pryor, Nipsey Russell and more. Includes Ease On Down the Road; You Can't Win; Is This What Feeling Gets? (Dorothy's Theme) , and all the rest of the numbers, plus a 24-page booklet with lyrics and original artwork and liner notes.

It was a big deal when #KushandOrangeJuice became the No. 1 trending topic on Twitter upon the release of the eighth Wiz Khalifa mixtape in April 2010, back when “hashtags” and “trending topics” were cutting-edge promotional tools. Back then, it was practically unheard of for a rapper with no major-label deal to be making such big waves (he’d left his former label, Warner Bros., in 2009). But there was something comforting about the red-eyed Pittsburgh rapper’s laidback mode of rapping about the staples of college dorm-room chatter: weed, women, cars, parties… Did we mention weed? Today, Kush & Orange Juice is considered a “blog era” classic—a throwback to a chiller, simpler time.

Diana Ross Sings Songs from The Wiz is an album by Diana Ross, released by Motown Records/Universal on November 27, 2015. The album features Ross' versions of songs from the film version of the musical The Wiz, in which she starred along with Michael Jackson.

Wiz Khalifa just surprised fans with a mixtape full of new songs as he gears up to hit the road on a massive summer tour. After teasing the tape days earlier, the Taylor Gang rapper dropped the 25-track See Ya on Wednesday (June 14). While features are kept to a minimum, production is handled by the likes of Wiz’s in-house producer ID LABS alongside Lex Luger, Iamsu! and more.
