The album is the follow-up to Khalifa's 2011 Gold-certified debut album "ROLLING PAPERS," which has sold nearly 800,000 units to date. To celebrate the album's release, Wiz has released the album's next single, "Remember You (feat. The Weeknd)," which comes on the heels of the Platinum single "Work Hard, Play Hard" and the 2 Chainz-assisted, "It's Nothin'." Listen to "Remember You (feat. The Weeknd)" here: .
What's more, Wiz' mixtape "Taylor Allderdice" is nominated in the "Best Mixtape" category at this weekend's 2012 BET Hip Hop Awards in Atlanta, where Wiz is also set to take the stage to perform his hit single "Work Hard, Play Hard" alongside Young Jeezy and Juicy J (check local listings).
Adding to all this excitement, Wiz and the Taylor Gang have added new dates to the upcoming "2050 Tour," (see tour itinerary below). The "2050 Tour" will see the Pittsburgh rapper taking his electrifying stage show to venues throughout North America alongside Taylor Gang members Juicy J, Chevy Woods, Lola Monroe, Tuki Carter and Berner. The tour kicks off at the Bryce Jordan Center in State College, PA on October 12 and continues through mid-December.
"O.N.I.F.C." is the follow-up to Wiz Khalifa's gold-certified major label debut, "ROLLING PAPERS," which was released in March 2011, and spawned the multi-platinum hits "Black And Yellow," "Roll Up" and "No Sleep." Wiz earned himself two nominations at this year's Grammy Awards thanks to his breakout hit "Black And Yellow," in both the "Best Rap Song" and "Best Rap Performance" categories. Khalifa then joined forces with Snoop Dogg for "Mac And Devin Go To High School Soundtrack," the collaborative soundtrack album for the film "Mac And Devin Go To High School." The album featured the hit single "Young, Wild & Free (feat. Bruno Mars)," which has gone on to become 3x-certified Platinum, and has peaked at #7 on Billboard's Hot 100 singles chart. Wiz kicked off 2012 with a high-profile campaign with Bing, where he was featured in the search engine's nationwide commercials.
