During a recent interview with Billboard, Wiz Khalifa spoke about Kush & Orange Juice‘s influence on Wiz Got Wings.

“I had done close to 10 mixtapes before I actually came out with Kush & Orange Juice. But I think that was just paving the way for people to see what my actual potential was,” Wiz said. “And by the time Kush & Orange Juice came, I really found my lane, I found my style. It was just more like a feeling that caught everybody off-guard. Now that they know it, we made something that you can return that feeling to.”

The surprise album comes days after Wiz and Juicy J unleashed “Pop That Trunk” following the Verzuz battle between Three 6 Mafia and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. On top of releasing Wiz Got Wings, the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania native will be releasing a collaborative album with Juicy J titled Stoners Night in 2022. Wiz told Billboard Project Pat and more will be on the project.
