Get More: Wiz Khalifa, Music News
Before the arrival of his sophomore set on August 28, Wiz gives MTV a first class seat with sneak peak of the album. Below he explains what we can expect lyrically.
“I get pretty personal on there, it’s like a reflection of me and where I’m at right now. I feel like I did that the best way without getting too preachy or going too deep to the point where I lost anybody. I kept it all in the same playing field so it makes sense. I said, ‘I’m put here to take care of the family, but how was I supposed to know/ If I don’t take care of myself huh, then how am I supposed to grow.’ It’s simple, but it means a lot, and anybody who works their ass off will understand and be like, ‘Man, the dude is talkin’ some sh–.”

Rihanna’s adventures at sea continue. The Bajan beauty sailed into Portofino, Italy, on her private yacht over the weekend. The paparazzi snapped her flaunting her hot body in a metallic cheetah-print bikini before jumping in the water for some snorkeling. She joked around with her girlfriends, spraying them with the hose. The fun continued on board as she popped Ace of Spades champagne and smoked while steering the boat. Aye aye, captain RiRi!
