A boy, reading in class three or four, recited a poem in the completion at schools completion & got attention of all! A judge then said to him, “You will be a big name in future”. It happens as he said!! From last fifteen week, Rapper & hip hop singer Wiz Khalifa’s “Black and Yellow” is now reining the billboard top rap chart. With this ,the song is 3rd in billboard hot hundred,2nd in best digital song list, 9th in best radio song & 10th in the Canadian hot 100. The single just went double platinum.
Wiz is now working for his upcoming album ‘Rolling papaers’.”People has loved “Black and Yellow” of this album. I am lucky that my hard working has not been rejected. I am very much thankful to my fans.’’- Khalifa said about his album. The contemporaries are also saying that he is must to get an award next year for the very song ‘Black and Yellow’
Khalifa released his first full length album entitled Show and Prove in 2006. The 23-year old rap star burst on to the scene in 2006 when his “Show and Prove” album, released through the independent Pittsburgh label Rostrum Records, was acclaimed as one of the top underground albums of the year. Khalifa was declared an "artist to watch" that year in Rolling Stone magazine. In 2007, Khalifa signed to Warner Bros. Records and released two mixtapes. His debut Warner Bros. single "Say Yeah" reached number 25 on the Billboard Rhythmic Top 40 music chart and number 20 on Billboard's Hot Rap Tracks.
But days were hard for Khalifa. His parents divorced when Khalifa was about three years old. As he Wiz was alone, he started loving the hip hop songs from twelve. His real name is ‘Cameron Jibril Thomaz’. As father was serving in the military, he wanted his boy to be a soldier. So he used to say Wiz to stay far from music. But the boy did what his heart used to mess with!
His stage name is derived from khalifa, an Arabic word meaning "successor", and wisdom, which was shortened to Wiz when Khalifa was fifteen.[4] Khalifa stated to spinner.com that the name also came from being called "young Wiz 'cause I was good at everything I did".[5] He includes Camp Lo, The Notorious B.I.G. and Bone Thugs-n-Harmony among his influences.

“Black and Yellow,” Wiz Khalifa’s single has become so popular, some artists are creating their own remakes and version of the song. Among those who made a remake are Vinny Guadagnino of the hit reality TV show, “Jersey Shore,” and Chet Haze, (Chester Marlon Hanks) Tom Hanks’ son. They slightly modified the song with their own lyrics and gave a similar title; Guadagnino’s title is “Black and Yellow,” while Haze’s title is “White and Purple.”
Wiz Khalifa has been nominated for mtvU’s “Woodie of the Year” which is given out to the year’s best artist. We all know Wiz has been putting in a lot of work and deserves this.
