Wiz Khalifa, born Cameron Jibril Thomaz on September 8, 1987, in Minot, North Dakota, is an American rapper, singer, and songwriter who has become an iconic figure in the hip-hop community. Staking his claim in the music industry with his hit single "Black and Yellow," which soared to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart, Wiz solidified his status with a string of successful albums and singles. His laid-back flow, penchant for themes celebrating marijuana, and his Pittsburgh pride have become staples of his music persona. His album 'Rolling Papers,' released in 2011, contained the aforementioned hit and showcased his versatility and mass appeal.

Over the years, Wiz Khalifa has distinguished himself not only through his music but also by his entrepreneurial spirit and his foray into acting, most notably with a memorable cameo in the stoner comedy film "Mac & Devin Go to High School," co-starring Snoop Dogg. With recent releases like "Khali Sober" and "Eurostep," Wiz continues to explore new dimensions of his signature sound while maintaining the cool, melodic, and laid-back style that fans have come to love. His collaborations, such as "House of Blues," featuring Big K.R.I.T., Curren$y & Girl Talk, showcase his ability to gel with a variety of artists within the genre, further cementing his status as a mainstay in the ever-evolving world of hip-hop.
