Yesterday we conducted a Meet & Eat with Wiz Khalifa at the Music Resource Center in Memphis. Good turnout, great food, and a Q&A session with Wiz that was insightful and real. But who is the Real Wiz Khalifa, let’s find out…

Death Of A Pop Star
I was on the phone with a friend at a record label a few weeks ago talking about album sales, to his amazement he didn’t know why the new David Banner and 9th Wonder album “Death Of A Pop Star” was not selling. My first reaction was, “David Banner has a new album?” Then I heard the first single featuring Ludacris, “Be With You” and was like oh shit a fucking classic. But I do know why he isn’t selling. Why? His current label might have missed the fact that this album is unlike anything Mr. Banner has ever done. His core fans will be lost with this real hip hop project with Banner flowing over beats by the legend 9th Wonder. If you are a real fan of hip hop, go buy this album, which is spiritual from beginning to end and might scare some people because Banner speaks some shit that everyone else is afraid to discuss.
From the first track on the album, “Diamonds On My Pinky” DB spits a line that made me play it over and over …”I’m from Mississippi where you let your nuts hang, and where the white folks let my ancestors do the same.”
Enough of my words… go to your local store if you’re still into CD’s or download the album from itunes by clicking below.
