A genuine anomaly in the catalog of one of hip-hop's most commercially successful artists, and a wrong finally set right. Released digitally in 2016 as Wiz Khalifa's fifth studio album and his fourth consecutive top ten Billboard 200 entry, Khalifa somehow never received a physical release in any format whatsoever. Real Gone Music has corrected that oversight in style, pressing the album for the very first time on tan vinyl exclusively for Record Store Day, limited to just 2,250 copies. Compiled from recordings made between 2013 and 2015, the album has a loose, confident energy that suits Wiz's laid-back delivery perfectly. The big hit is "Bake Sale" featuring Travis Scott, a smooth, effortlessly cool collaboration that became one of the most-streamed tracks of 2016 and remains one of the most enjoyable things either artist has put their name to. Beyond that, the guest list is as strong as anything in Wiz's catalog: Juicy J, Ty Dolla $ign, and Rico Love all appear, each adding their own distinct flavor to an album that moves with the breezy, unhurried confidence of an artist completely at ease with who he is. For collectors who have spent nearly a decade waiting to own this one physically, the wait is finally over. First time on any physical format, exclusively available on Record Store Day on its 10th anniversary, on tan vinyl.
