Wiz Khalifa: Influences

Wiz Khalifa: Influences

Wiz is a trailblazer for a new generation of chill rap, but his jams are far from background music. You can hear traces of Curren$y's blasé jet-setting anthems à la “The Seventies” in Wiz's laidback delivery, mixed with the easy melodicism of Bone Thugs classics like “1st of Tha Month”. And the Pittsburgh rapper's a rasta at heart, his mellow beats and blunted rhymes drawing from Bob Marley's beachside bonfire vibes.
