“Wiz Khalifa’s official albums have been commercially successful, but this 2010 mixtape stands as the truest expression of his red-eyed artistic vision. From “Waken Baken” on down, Wiz sticks to the script with laser-like focus.” – Complex
“Wiz Khalifa was one of the best and earliest businessmen on Twitter, coalescing his Taylor Gang and peddling underground mixtapes.” – Pitchfork
Before he became one of the most successful rappers of the past decade, Wiz Khalifa was an independent hustler and marijuana enthusiast with a loyal subset of fans. On April 14th, Wiz celebrates the 10th anniversary of Kush & Orange Juice, an iconic mixtape that established Wiz as a cultural force and forever enshrined the “wake-n-bake” as an essential part of the stoner lifestyle. To celebrate the anniversary, Wiz teams with Rostrum Records to release Kush & OJ on vinyl, marking the mixtape’s first-ever availability on a physical format.
Wrapped in a Zip-lock-style shrink wrap, the album comes with two cloudy green-colored discs. The double-LP comes packaged in an orange-scented juice carton gatefold–fans will have to provide the kush scent on their own. Releasing on April 17th via Rostrum Records, the Kush & OJ vinyl is currently available for pre-order at http://www.kushandoj.com/.
A melodic masterpiece featuring early-career contributions from the likes of Curren$y, Big K.R.I.T., Cardo Got Wingz, and others, Kush & Orange Juice was one of the first mixtapes to catch fire on social media, becoming a #1 trending topic on Twitter and Google in the days after its release. Boasting fan-favorite Wiz tracks like “In The Cut” and “Mezmorized,“ the tape is among the most acclaimed and popular free mixtapes of all-time, earning Diamond status on DatPiff, and earning spots on Best-Ever Mixtape lists by Complex and Pitchfork. The mixtape saw official release on DSPs and streaming services in November 2018.
