Wiz Khalifa x Taylor Alderdice Mixtape Review


The mixtape is out and already gold *Update* Platinum 250,000+* on Dat Piff and if you haven't heard, Taylor Allderdice is the new Rich Forever. Wiz Khalifa feels like he didn't get his point across on his debut album, Rolling Papers. He did go certified gold and had three platinum singles, but who's counting. This isn't a Taylor Gang mixtape, although it has several crew features. This is a Wiz taking what he does very seriously.




Even his soon-to-be wife, Amber Rose hops on the sequel to his Kush & Orange Juice classic, Never Been Pt. II. I co-sign her with this one. Here sound is new and fresh, but im unsure of her use of the N word. Am I missing something? Anways, the only similarity with this and Rich Forever is that they are both exceptional albums, I mean mixtapes. What people might not know about young Khalifa is that he is full on Independent. From the label to the crew, they making real money and seeing serious royalties. 





Newest signee to the label is OG Grammy winner Juicy J and he appears on almost every track. The trippy king is a good look for the crew. Let’s just say he fits in. He kills tracks like My Favorite Song and T.A.P., which is extra special because it’s produced by A$AP clansman SPVCEGHVSTPVRPPP. I was surprised by the young producer/rapper. His creativeness inspired me immediately. Production is another aspect of the project that takes this mixtape to the level of a studio album. 


One of the hottest tracks I like at this moment is the last song on the mixtape called Blindfolded ft. Juicy. New producer buzzin in the industry is Harry Fraud who produced French Montana’s latest smash Shot Caller. Taylor Gang does it all; Raps, Produces, Manages and even engineers their own work. Resident producers/engineers like Sledgren, Big Jerm and Cardo bring fresh noise to the table. Some unique samples are found throughout the tape like chops from The-Dream, Frank Ocean and more. I’ll let you find them. Overall the album gets 5 stars from Next In Show. Everything expected from a young creative genius. Wiz Khalifa’s forthcoming album O.N.I.F.C. is releasing later this year, as well as other camp projects. Download immediately if you haven’t already. Welcome To California Music.
