The new supergroup of Wiz Khalifa, Big KRIT, Smoke DZA, and Girl Talk is a wholly unexpected one, but the foursome are showing that it totally works. Girl Talk’s Greg Gillis — Wiz Khalifa’s Pittsburgh compatriot — is a deft hip-hop producer. Gone are the frenetic mash-ups that took the world by storm, and instead, we get a breezy, chilled out canvas for three uniquely talented rappers to shine.
The group’s debut album, Full Court Press album, is out on April 8th and Gillis says that “it’s a unique intersection of all of our work.” The tracks tend to feature a combination of the four, with Girl Talk as the only constant. “Put You On” was the first single, and it struck a balance between Wiz’s melodious raps, Smoke DZA’s East Coast punch and Big KRIT’s definitive Southern style. Now on “How The Story Goes,” Wiz and KRIT shine on a mellow groove from Girl Talk that shows the vision behind a project that needs to be taken seriously.
