Wiz Khalifa‘s Kush & Orange Juice 2, the follow-up to his classic 2010 mixtape, has seemingly gotten a release date.
According to a post from the NFR Podcast, the project is expected to arrive on April 18. Their post included artwork that Wiz shared when he first discussed the album last year, which was speculated to be the official cover but is not confirmed.
It’s also to be noted that Wiz himself has not yet confirmed the date on social media, nor in his recent vlogs.
Should it land on April 18 as reported, it will commemorate the original tape’s 15th anniversary, as it dropped on April 14, 2010.

Wiz Khalifa first announced that Kush & Orange Juice 2 was completed nearly a year ago in March 2024.

“Kush and Oj 2 is done and going into mixing,” the Pittsburgh rapper wrote on X at the time. “Thank you to everyone involved. Taylor Gang The World.”
Hours later, the Taylor Gang chief shared that he had received music from producer Cardo, who helmed two songs including “Mezmorized” on the original Kush & Orange Juice back in 2010.
Cardo confirmed his involved in a tweet as well.
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.”

“High risk high reward,” another agreed, while a third observer succinctly responded: “Don’t fuck this up.”
Lyrical Lemonade founder Cole Bennett also weighed in to share his excitement.
“[C]an’t wait,” he wrote. “kush & oj is one of my favorite projects of all time.”
Weeks later, Wiz shared a snippet of the project – which left fans unimpressed at best.

He also referred to it as a “classic” and revealed he worked with legendary producers like DJ Quik and Juicy J on the project, as well as frequent collaborators Ty Dolla $ign and Problem (a.k.a. Jason Martin).
Kush & Orange Juice helped solidify Wiz’s entry into the Hip Hop sphere, building a loyal fan-base around the mesh between marijuana culture and fun-loving, laid-back music.
The project also proved pivotal in creating long-lasting relationships with industry peers. Contributions from Curren$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 in 2020, 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?”
