With roots in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Wiz Khalifa began rapping in the third grade and started recording his own music at the age of 14. That early enthusiasm for his craft led to "Prince of the City: Welcome to Pistolvania," his first of many acclaimed mixtapes. In 2010, Khalifa made the transition from independent artist to signed performer when in collaboration with Rostrum Records, he joined Atlantic Records. At his new label home, he began a stratospheric rise to the top of the music charts in 2011 with the release of his three-time platinum single "Black and Yellow" off his first studio album "Rolling Papers." Khalifa's highly-anticipated second studio album "O.N.I.F.C." will be released August 2012.
