Wiz Khalifa’s follow-up to his iconic 2011 debut, Rolling Papers, arrived in 2018 with Rolling Papers 2, a 25-track collection that blends laid-back trap, party anthems, and guest-driven energy. The album kicks off with tracks like "Hot Now" and "Ocean," showcasing Wiz’s signature smooth delivery over hypnotic beats, while collaborations like "Blue Hunnids" with Jimmy Wopo and Hardo deliver a nostalgic yet fresh twist on classic West Coast vibes.
Standout moments include "Penthouse" with Snoop Dogg, a flex-heavy banger that highlights the album’s mix of swagger and effortless flow, and "Real Rich" featuring Gucci Mane, where Wiz’s verses cut through the boom-bap production.
For fans of Wiz’s introspective side, cuts like "Very Special" and "Late Night Messages" offer a more reflective edge, balancing out the party tracks. The album also features a handful of standout features, including "Rain" with PartyNextDoor, a moody yet catchy bop, and "Reach for the Stars" with Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, a powerful homage to the group’s legacy.
Tracks like "Fr Fr" with Lil Skies and "Gin and Drugs" with Problem keep the energy high, blending humor and hook-driven production.
While Rolling Papers 2 doesn’t stray far from Wiz’s signature sound, it expands his sonic palette with a mix of guest appearances and production styles. From the high-energy "Goin Hard" to the soulful "Hopeless Romantic" with Swae Lee, the album proves Wiz’s ability to adapt while staying true to his roots.
Whether it’s the playful "420 Freestyle" or the anthemic "King," every track feels like an extension of his laid-back yet influential presence in hip-hop.
For listeners who enjoyed the original Rolling Papers, this sequel delivers a similar vibe—equal parts chill and charismatic—with enough variety to keep things fresh. With a mix of solo dominance and star-studded features, Rolling Papers 2 solidifies Wiz Khalifa’s status as a master of the smooth, effortless track.
