(Mag Cover) World Premiere! The FADER Issue #72: Wiz Khalifa (Digital + Physical Copies Available March 8th)
February 17, 2011
It wasn’t exactly hard to tell that Wiz Khalifa and James Blake would do big things in 2011, but the level at which that happened exceeded even our—and let’s be real—their wildest dreams. It goes without saying that we are ridiculously stoked to have them on our covers, but we had to say it anyway. We headed out to Los Angeles to try and figure out exactly how Wiz managed to turn himself into a RAP MEGASTAR while smoking close to one zillion joints a day, and came back with a story about what it means to be famous in the new music world. Meanwhile, on the other side of the globe James Blake has quietly been transforming into a megastar in his own right. Going from interesting producer to full-blown artist with an intimate voice that could make even the most stone-hearted dude cry. But this is our Spring Style issue, so it’s not just about music. We also interviewed the father/son clothing design duo Casely-Hayford, who, with clear eyes and strong sense of purpose, continue to make timelessly daring clothes. Then we jetted to Trinidad for a beautiful fashion story that reminded us of the existence of warm weather and beautiful beaches, talked to up-and-comers Niki and the Dove, Porcelain Raft, Lex Luger and a whole lot more.
After the jump, grab each cover separately and keep your eyes peeled for web exclusives as well as FADER #72, in all its Spring glory, coming to digital and physical newsstands on March 8th.

On Producing “Black And Yellow”
Tor Erik Hermansen: “We first heard about him from [our manager] Tim. I don’t know where Tim heard about him, but one day Tim came in and played us some mixtape stuff. We were just blown away by his flow, and also his musicality. I think we heard instantly that he had a melodic sense in his approach to writing music, but also in the tracks he chose, and that they had some movement in them. He came through last spring, listened to some tracks, and he was like ‘Yup. I’ll get on that.’ And he was honest with us. He said, ‘I need that radio shit that you guys do.’”
Mikkel S. Eriksen: “Tim was talking about Wiz way back, at least a year before we actually worked together. ‘Black And Yellow’ was the second song we wrote. Even back then, just listening to the hook and the beat, we could tell that this was something great from the beginning.”
Tor Erik Hermansen: “He came with his crew, and they all had a blast. The whole Taylor Gang. There were people in and out of the room, but he had a good sense of himself. When he needs to work, he’s on. He stayed here all night and finished up his verses. We stayed, and made sure that the hook was 100 percent. We worked three or four days I think. We did probably about three or four songs the first session, and then two or three others the second session. ‘Black And Yellow’ took probably about a day. 12 hours. He wasn’t in the booth for 12 hours. He wrote everything here, but who knows. He may have had that idea, and just waited for the right track. I think he did the hook on that one first actually. And we kind of went back and forth a little bit, on the structure, but it was all him pretty much in one go. And he did his verses. I don’t think he even went back and re-recorded anything. What you hear is what he did. We didn’t necessarily understand the scope of how big ‘Black And Yellow’ was, and all it meant. We knew he was from Pittsburgh, and we knew he had a black and yellow ride, but it took us a moment to really get that this would become an anthem for Pittsburgh. Obviously, the fact that the Steelers are in the Super Bowl doesn’t hurt the record either.”
