Pittsburgh rapper Wiz Khalifa is bringing his talent to Atlantic Records. Literally. The hip-hop superstar has announced a new Taylor Gang partnership with the iconic record company.
According to reports, Atlantic will now provide Wiz’s Taylor Gang projects worldwide distribution.
“Wiz is an amazingly talented artist, songwriter and entrepreneur,” said Atlantic Records Chairman/COO Julie Greenwald in a press release. “We’ve been so proud to have him as an Atlantic recording artist for the past six years, during which he also built Taylor Gang into a powerhouse hip-hop brand with a phenomenal fan following.” For his part, Wiz said he was “Very excited about the deal with the gang.” He continued, “These guys are my family and friends first, now we’re gonna take this this shit to the next level.” (The FADER)

This week, Wiz revealed he had teamed up with Junk Food Clothing for a BASH collection launch.
“All the designs are based around Sebastian — all of his hobbies and the things that he’s into. I just really wanted it to feel personal to him, so when he sees it, he gets excited,” Khalifa, 29, tells PEOPLE. “He’s 3 years old, so he might not understand the concept of having his own clothing line. But the fact that all of his favorite things are all over his clothes, it makes him feel special; it makes him entertained by what he’s wearing.” (People)
Last month, Khalifa showed off his daddy duties with his son Sebastian.
