Wiz Khalifa’s ‘Kush & Orange Juice 2’ Reportedly Set for April Release
Wiz Khalifa’s highly anticipated follow-up to his classic 2010 mixtape Kush & Orange Juice appears to have a release date. According to reports from the NFR Podcast, Kush & Orange Juice 2 is expected to drop on April 18, though the rapper himself has yet to confirm the news. If the release date holds, it will mark the 15th anniversary of the original project, which debuted on April 14, 2010.
The Pittsburgh rapper first announced the completion of Kush & Orange Juice 2 in March 2024, revealing that the album had entered the mixing stage. He expressed gratitude to those involved in the project, reinforcing the excitement surrounding the sequel. Among the contributors is producer Cardo, who played a significant role in the original mixtape’s success, having worked on tracks like “Mezmorized.”
Despite the anticipation, reactions from fans have been mixed. While many are excited about the return of Wiz’s signature laid-back, marijuana-infused sound, others remain cautious about whether the sequel will live up to its predecessor’s legacy. Some listeners have voiced concerns, urging the rapper to maintain the quality that made the original a fan favorite.
Adding to the buzz, Wiz Khalifa has worked with industry heavyweights such as DJ Quik, Juicy J, Ty Dolla $ign, and Problem (Jason Martin) for the project. His collaborations with longtime peers like Curren$y and Big K.R.I.T. have also helped shape his artistic evolution over the years.
The original Kush & Orange Juice was instrumental in cementing Wiz Khalifa’s status in hip-hop, blending smooth production with relaxed, stoner-friendly themes. The mixtape’s underground success led to increased visibility, lucrative touring opportunities, and long-term industry relationships.
As fans await official confirmation from Wiz himself, the speculation surrounding Kush & Orange Juice 2 continues to build, making it one of the most anticipated hip-hop releases of the year.
