Wiz Khalifa is celebrating the successful release of what he calls “the best album of my career” in a heartfelt Instagram post featuring intimate studio moments with his collaborator Mike Will. The Taylor Gang founder shared a revealing photo carousel documenting their creative journey together.
In the post caption, Khalifa wrote: “Me and will started together and successfully released the best album of my career. Keep your weed close and your best friends closer. Taylor Gang the World.” The images showcase the two artists in studio setting, capturing the creative process behind Kush and Orange Juice 2.
The extensive photo collection includes shots of Khalifa and Will working on tracks, sharing laughs, and enjoying creative downtime. The carousel provides fans with a behind-the-scenes glimpse of their collaboration, highlighting both the work and friendship that went into making the album.
Kush and Orange Juice 2 represents a significant milestone in Khalifa’s career, serving as the sequel to his breakthrough 2010 mixtape that helped establish him as a force in the hip-hop world. The original Kush and Orange Juice is widely considered one of Khalifa’s defining works, making this follow-up particularly meaningful for longtime fans.
The album dropped on April 20 (4/20), a date with special significance in cannabis culture—a theme that has been central to Khalifa’s artistic identity throughout his career.
Fan response to the album has been enthusiastic, with Khalifa encouraging followers to “drop your favorite tracks in the comments” in an earlier post. The project has been part of an active promotional tour that saw Khalifa visiting New York City and other locations to build excitement.
In a post from his promotional activities, Khalifa shared: “I like doing promo tours because I get to explain what it was like making the album and get completely smacked while doing so.” This candid approach to promotion has resonated with fans who appreciate his authenticity.
The “Taylor Gang the World” sign-off that appears in Khalifa’s recent posts has become something of a mantra for the artist. It represents not just his record label and business ventures, but a lifestyle philosophy that combines his love for music, cannabis culture, and maintaining close friendships.
This latest post emphasizing keeping “your weed close and your best friends closer” reinforces the personal values that have defined Khalifa’s public persona throughout his career. The images showing his collaborative relationship with Will illustrate this philosophy in practice.
Wiz Khalifa, born Cameron Jibril Thomaz, rose to mainstream prominence with his 2010 single “Black and Yellow,” which reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. Since then, he has established himself as a mainstay in hip-hop, known for his laid-back flow and cannabis-themed content.
The release of Kush and Orange Juice 2 comes as Khalifa continues to expand his musical legacy while staying true to the themes and style that initially connected him with audiences. Based on his confident declaration about the quality of this latest work, it appears the rapper feels he’s created something special with this latest collaboration.
Fans can stream Kush and Orange Juice 2 now on all major platforms.
