Rising from steely Pittsburgh to the top of the music charts with “Black and Yellow,” Wiz Khalifa has earned the nicknames king, wisdom and successor. Influenced by the ’80s era of limos, lights and luxury, Khalifa amassed both indie and commercial cred. His new album, Blacc Hollywood, fuses the classic culture of rock ‘n’ roll stardom with his own experiences and musical style.
