Rolling Papers II

Released in 2018 as the long-awaited sequel to his 2011 major-label debut, Rolling Papers II represents Wiz Khalifa at his most prolific and established. Spanning 25 tracks and nearly 90 minutes, the album functions as a double-disc experience that touches on every facet of his career: from the Taylor Gang trap anthems to the melodic pop-rap that made him a global superstar. The record features a wide array of collaborators, including Swae Lee, Snoop Dogg, and Ty Dolla $ign, further cementing its status as a communal celebration of the lifestyle Wiz pioneered. Sonically, it moves away from the raw boom-bap of his 'Prince of the City' days toward a high-fidelity, trap-influenced soundscape characterized by rolling hi-hats and atmospheric pads. While critics noted its daunting length, the album was praised for its consistency and the undeniable chemistry Wiz maintains with his production team, particularly in creating 'vibe-heavy' tracks that define the modern stoner-rap canon.
