Bong Rips

Released in June 2017, Bong Rips serves as a concise bridge between Wiz Khalifa's major studio efforts, showcasing his mastery of the EP format. Comprising only four tracks, the project is a focused exploration of the 'Taylor Gang' sound at its most atmospheric and relaxed. Produced largely during a prolific period of independent releases, it highlights a shift toward more experimental, texture-heavy trap production. The EP features guest appearances from Chevy Woods and Desiigner, yet maintains a remarkably consistent sonic palette. Critics noted the project's ability to maintain Wiz's signature melodicism while stripping away the pop-gloss of his radio hits. It stands in his catalog as a fan-favorite 'vibe' record, emphasizing the hazy, smoke-filled aesthetic that has become synonymous with his brand. The project is notable for its lack of a traditional 'lead single,' instead functioning as a continuous 15-minute mood piece.
