Wiz Khalifa Fuels Excitement For ‘Kush & Orange Juice 2’ By Declaring It A ‘Classic’

Wiz Khalifa has been getting ready for the release of the long-awaited follow-up to Kush & Orange Juice by declaring his latest work a “classic.”

The “Black & Yellow” rapper took to X, formerly known as Twitter, on Monday (April 15) to make the declaration.

“Kush and Orange Juice 2 is a classic. Can’t wait for y’all to enjoy,” he wrote.

Check out the post below.

Kush & Orange Juice, which was released in 2010, helped solidify Wiz’s entry into the Hip Hop sphere, building a loyal fan-base around the mesh between marijuana culture and fun-loving, laid-back music.

The project also proved pivotal in creating long-lasting relationships with industry peers. Contributions from Curren$y and Big K.R.I.T. would continue to serve Wiz over the next decade, leading to touring and creating new music together.

On Kush & OJ‘s 10th birthday, K.R.I.T. reflected on the underground success of the trio’s song “Glass House” and explained how it landed on the mixtape.

“‘Glass House’ is a crowd favorite,” he said in a press release. “We created a moment with that record, know what I’m saying? 2010, SXSW. It happened so organically and then Wiz reached out like, ‘Yo I wanna put this on Kush & Orange Juice,’ and that was my first introduction to a lot of his fan base.

“It’s been crazy since then — between going on tour and performing it every time we hit the stage together,” he added. “That’s what timeless music is all about. Because now, it’s 2020, the 10 year anniversary and that record still goes up you feel me?”

Last month, the rapper announced that the sequel was finally complete, and his fans were both ecstatic and nervous.

“Kush and Oj 2 is done and going into mixing,” the Pittsburgh rapper said on March 30 via X (formerly Twitter). “Thank you to everyone involved. Taylor Gang The World.”

Wiz’s post included what appears to be the cover art for Kush & Orange Juice 2, which features posters of many of the rapper’s previous projects as well as magazine covers.

Hours later, the Taylor Gang chief shared that he had received music from producer Cardo, who helmed two songs on Wiz’s original Kush & Orange Juice back in 2010.

Wiz Khalifa’s fans were pleased, if wary, about a sequel to Kush & Orange Juice, with one person writing: “Don’t you dare ruin kush and oj legacy.”
