(Video) Wiz Khalifa x Honey Mag Interview (Wiz Talks "WEED, WOMEN, and WAXING POETIC")
August 24, 2010 
"Lounging on a beaten-up leather couch tucked away in an industrial loft in downtown Brooklyn, Wiz Khalifa asks, “Did you see my new tatt?” turning to reveal a freshly inked mega mass sprawling across his spine. Covered head-to-toe in body art, it’s hard not to notice the lanky Pittsburgh emcee’s impressive display of ink.
This is our second time chopping it up with Khalifa, and although only 6 months have passed, it’s clear that new ink isn’t the only thing that has changed. The last time we spoke, it was just Wiz in the back room of Honey’s downtown office space. Quiet, intimate, and very cloudy. Fast forward a few months, fresh off a win for MTV’s “Hottest Breakthrough MC of 2010,” secured by Khalifa’s cult-like followers dubbed “The Taylor Gang,” it suddenly feels like the calm before the storm.
Suits, from his label, buzz about, making sure Khalifa stays on track, doesn’t talk too much about his newly inked deal (recently signed to Atlantic Records), and generally doting on the 22-year-old. But Khalifa stays unfazed, moving only to welcome a special delivery, roll-up, and check out his ‘fits for the day (he loved the “Pulp Fiction” selection of sharp, tailored suits).
Khalifa’s last album title, Deal or No Deal, is particularly fitting. In 2009, he parted ways with Warner Brothers and churned out a slew of successful mixtapes – most notably Kush and Orange Juice, with over a million downloads. Now, deal intact, gearing up for a massive North American tour slated to kick off on September 16th in Philadelphia, Khalifa is about to be thrown into a whirlwind of press while finishing up his latest untitled project. Welcome to the eye of the storm. But before his flight takes off, he dishes about weed, women, and the pressures of being" “next.”

Wiz Khalifa Sells Out Tour + Talks New Project
June 22, 2010 
"Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania rapper Wiz Khalifa is touring heavily in support of his most recent mixtape Kush and Orange Juice and has sold out nearly every show of his most recent tour across the country.
According to Wiz, 54 out of 57 shows on the nationwide "Deal or no Deal Tour" featuring Yelawolf and Wu-Tang member, U-God, have sold out completely.
“People have been showing up. All of the tickets have been presale, a lot of them have been at the door and it’s been good,” Wiz told AllHipHop.com. “People are rocking merchandise, singing the words of the songs, there has been an ambulance at nearly every show outside.”
When asked about some of the crazier things he has seen on the tour, Wiz stated that “the combination of people passing out and with all the things that people will do to get backstage, to just smoke with us. It’s gotten pretty crazy.”
Wiz is currently working on his new album and despite rumors about what label will distribute the project, Wiz said he was weighing his options.
“Everyone knows I have been busy on my tour, so as far as business moves I kind of have just held off and just getting things straight,” Wiz told AllHipHop.com. “I am back recording. “I have been recording for several weeks now and I like to start fresh and really get a vibe going. We got a vibe early and we are gonna kill ‘em.”
Although the album has a titled, Wiz Khalifa remained tight-lipped about the name and concept of his upcoming project.
“It’s going to be an event, just like anything else that I do and I think that each one of my projects that we drop is getting bigger and better.”
Wiz Khalifa’s next appearance will take place on July 3rd in Detroit at the Majestic Café."

(Interview) Complex x Wiz Khalifa | Miracle Whips: Wiz Khalifa On His 2010 Dodge Challenger
June 7, 2010 
"Complex: What was your first car?
Wiz Khalifa: The first little joint that I could get on my own, that I was making payments on, was an ‘05 Envoy. It had a leather interior and shit. Then I got my muscle car, a 2010 Dodge Challenger. Really, I never knew what car exactly I wanted when I was younger. My parents weren’t too much into that kind of stuff. So I didn’t really know until I was like 16 or 17 when I started liking muscle cars and getting into engines and all that.
Complex: What drew you towards that?
Wiz Khalifa: Just the look, the feel, the appeal of it. It’s badass, dog. The respect you get from other people for it, too. Spitta [Curren$y], he really put me on when I met him. He got the SS Monte Carlo, he got the SS El Camino, he got the pickup trucks and shit. So me [purchasing the Challenger] was kind of a big for me and it was big for the city too ’cause it’s black and gold."
