With the newest single from his upcoming album released earlier this month, Wiz Khalifa recently sat down with Billboard to talk about Blacc Hollywood and working with artists like Miley Cyrus, Bruno Mars, and Charlie Wilson.
“The music is pretty much there for the album,” Wiz said, “it’s called Blacc Hollywood. It’s not all the way put together, but a good bit of it is finished.” Khalifa released the album’s first single, “We Dem Boyz,” in the second week of February through an exclusive Shazam premiered debut. In his interview with Billboard, the Pittsburgh emcee described his new track with a reference to his biggest hit to date. “I like ‘We Dem Boyz’ as the first single just ‘cause of the energy,” he said. “I feel like it reaches so many audiences other than just a Rap audience, sort of like how ‘Black and Yellow’ was—a big sports song, just get everybody riled up, like more of an anthem.”
Speaking about the album more generally, Khalifa confirmed that Pop star Miley Cyrus will feature on Blacc Hollywood and admitted to smoking “a ton of pot” with her. “There is a Miley [Cyrus] song on the album,” he said. “It might not be what everybody expects from me and Miley ‘cause we do like club records and fun stuff. So, the one I have for the album is completely left of that, but it’s crazy, it’s insane.” The pair have worked together previously on tracks like Mike Will Made It’s 2013 single “23.” “It’s cool as heck kicking it with Miley,” Wiz said, “she’s real fun. We ride Can-Am’s through Hollywood and we just chill. Everybody knows she smokes pot now, so I can say we smoke a ton of pot and we just kick it. Oh, her Dad’s cool as heck too, Billy Ray, that’s the homie. Her brother is a friend of mine, her little sister is super dope, she doesn’t smoke pot yet, but yeah.”
While it’s unclear if they will appear on his upcoming release, Khalifa also described working previously with Bruno Mars and meeting R&B singer Charlie Wilson at a Grammy event in Los Angeles. “I would love to do more stuff with Bruno, he hooked us up with the ‘Young, Wild, And Free’ hook, a lot of people kind of don’t remember that that’s Bruno Mars,” Wiz said. “Yeah, I would definitely meet in the middle, do some melodic stuff because he’s just crazy when it comes to everything, his whole attitude and creatively I feel like he’s real dope.” Describing his meeting Wilson, Khalifa also brought up the possibility that the veteran artist could appear on Blacc Hollywood. “I’m so happy that Uncle Charlie Wilson name dropped me man,” he said. “I bumped into Charlie at Grammy Weekend in L.A., we did an event. We just talked for like a half hour about music, about relationships and stuff like that. He was really interested in jumping on the album and even letting me write some stuff for him because I like to harmonize and do melodies and things like that. So we gonna put it together.”
Near the end of the interview the “Black And Yellow’ artist confirmed plans to bring back his Under The Influence of Music tour for a summer installment this year. “We like to keep the lineup under wraps until it’s official just so when we roll it out nothing can be changed or switched around,” he said. “But we’re working on it now and the idea is just to make it the biggest and the most fun possible. But I’ll be there.” Last year, A$AP Rocky, B.O.B., Trinidad James, and Joey Bada$$ were among the artists featured on the tour schedule.

Dude sold the fuck out.
Miley is hot as fuck, I bet that snatch is tighter than a cork screw in a bottle of red wine. Id eat that muff from the back and suck on her pearl tounge until she squirt, that little hooker is sexy.
I give rappers a pass for fucking with Miley, she is a part of HipHop not a Taylor Swift.
” I bet that snatch is tighter than a cork screw in a bottle of red wine.”
it might have been before she got ran through by a pack of niccas
She is not that hot, she looks like a flamboyant Justin Bieber. And Miley’s not a part of hip-hop, she’s just an outsider trying to capitalize off of hip-hop culture by exploiting the worst aspects of it.
Bieber is sexier than Miley
We Dem Boyz was a horrible single If I remember, he was like singing in auto-tune or am I getting it mixed up with somethin?
” Oh, her Dads cool as heck too, Billy Ray, thats the homie. ”
GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE
“She is not that hot, she looks like a flamboyant Justin Bieber. And Miley’s not a part of hip-hop, she’s just an outsider trying to capitalize off of hip-hop culture by exploiting the worst aspects of it”
Miley is very HOT I just wish she would grow her hair out and gain a little weight but I would get her pregnant LOL. Its sad that so many racist people want to act like HipHop is an exclusive club and call fellow musicians outsiders when they embrace hip-hop culture. Miley has mixed blood and she has co-signs from JayZ, Ross, French, Juicy, LiL Kim, Mike Will, Will I Am, TwerkTeam and Rakim.
Take your Lord Jamar mentality elsewhere and let people give love and get love.
he said Rakim co-signs miley.. LMAO stop frontin
Not directly but Rakim said HipHop is for everybody and Miley has talent and sex appeal.
how does miley hax mixed blood
Miley cyrus is far more hip-hop than kendrick will ever be. She also has a big ass.
yeah we get it, you sniff glue
Wow. You’re an idiot. Even you don’t believe those lies.
“Its sad that so many racist people want to act like HipHop is an exclusive club and call fellow musicians outsiders when they embrace hip-hop culture.”
This has nothing to do with race. We’re talking about a wack pop star exploiting hip-hop culture with a fake image.
“Miley has talent and sex appeal.”
She has none of those things and sucking dick is not considered a talent.
“Miley cyrus is far more hip-hop than kendrick will ever be. She also has a big ass.”
Kendrick makes hip-hop music while Miley makes pop music, nuff said. She’s not hip-hop and she has a small ass.
Leave hip-hop alone, you Miley dickrider.
you are the real idiot for responding to an obvious troll
Miley has done more for hip-hop than your broke ass will ever do. Meanwhile, you hating on miley doesn’t matter because she doesn’t even care about hate.
She hasn’t even done anything for hip-hop besides be an annoyance. And you dickriding her doesn’t even matter because she doesn’t care about you defending her honor.
I at least met the bitch during g the bangerz album signing. Shes here to stay. Futures got her, pharrells got her, wiz got her, while you stay hating.
No, you didn’t. She ain’t staying anywhere besides the pop circle where she belongs and even then, she’ll be irrelevant in a few years when these publicity stunts wear off just like the shock value. Just because some people got her doesn’t mean anything, especially when the music sucks and isn’t hip-hop.
Racist black dudes get so Butthurt when a white person wants to be a part of the culture. Miley has Native American in her bloodline, she sings well enough to sell millions of records and tour the world so why do you fucks have such a big issue with her using HipHop beats and collaborating with HipHop acts.
Why are you bringin up race? This has nothing to do with that. Eminem and the Beastie Boys are some of the most respected rappers ever and they’re white. Justin Timberlake and Robin Thicke have respect from the hip-hop community and they’re white. Doesn’t matter what’s in Miley’s bloodline, she’s still white (just like how some black girls claim to be part Indian or French or part Arabic, they’re still black). Also, she sings terribly. Her trying to embrace hip-hop looks phony. She doesn’t have the talent and her music doesn’t help as it’s all still pop music. Get some better music taste and hop off her jock.
What’s your problem bitch? Mileys here to stay. Nobodies forcing you to listen to her. However, youre hating on a girl who doesn’t know you exist and wouldn’t give a shit about you complaining.
What’s YOUR problem? Anytime someone isn’t kissing Miley’s flat ass, you bitch about it. She ain’t here to stay, she’s temporary. You’re on the internet defending her while she doesn’t give a shit about you and doesn’t even know you exist.
At least she made her stomp into popculture, unlike you.
A terrible, annoying stomp. And I don’t want to be a celebrity. I like being an average joe.
You 2 need to get married already lmao
