Just in time for 420, 2x GRAMMY® award winning, performer, writer and consummate Kanye collaborator, Leonard “GLC” Harris has teamed up with Multi-platinum selling, GRAMMY and Golden Globe nominated recording artist, Wiz Khalifa on their cannabis inspired song, Kush & P. featuring Xcelence. The chill and energetic hip hop ode to kush is produced by legendary producer, No ID, Xcelence, Sickone, ZoMixedIt, DJ Pharris and SkattaMan.
Working with GLC on “Kush and P” was a no-brainer for No ID. The godfather of Chicago hip hop, whose astounding credits include Jay-Z, Kanye,Rihanna, Drake, Common, Snoh Aalegra and more felt at home with his longtime friend. “It’s not hard to work with your brother. It’s very organic and more like a family affair,” said No ID.
For GLC the collaboration with Wiz Khalifa on a cannabis inspired song made common sense.
“I met Wiz in Pittsburgh & we instantly bonded. The song was something that happened naturally. Kush & Pussy is a song that embraces world peace through relaxation, good sex, kicking it and cannabis. It just made sense to collaborate with Wiz,” shared GLC.
Kush and P perfectly aligns with GLC’s business endeavors and entrepreneurship goals for minority communities.
The Chicago native and writer who was introduced to the world on Kanye’s debut album is a community activist and lead investor in Cronja, an L.A.-based Black- and veteran-owned cannabis lifestyle brand. The company specializes in Cannabis flowers, premium leather rolling trays and handmade cases for rolling kits. In January, the company was able to strike a deal with Jay-Z’s Cannabis partner, The Parent Company.

Wiz Khalifa has been clowned on a lot lately for his feet. Back in mid-March, the rapper posted a series of pictures on his Twitter. The photos depicted Wiz in his home studio getting a massage, smoking, and generally looking relaxed. Little did he know that he was about to start a social media firestorm over his feet. The comments on the tweet ranged from hilarity to disgust. Wiz wasn’t really bothered by the response, though. In fact, the rapper responded with a poem about the situation.
In a video posted to his social media, Wiz said, “I wrote a little poem, it’s called, ‘Stop Making Jokes About My Feet.’” The rapper then went on to recite an entire poem about the hate he experienced for his feet. “Stop making jokes about my feet, because that shit ain’t funny. Y’all keep making jokes about my feet, but bitch I got money,” he recited. “You ain’t gonna say it to my face, but you’ll talk about me when I’m gone. Your toes probably look like that, too, but you got nail polish on.” If nothing else, Wiz proved once again that he’s got bars.
Ever the joker, Wiz has continued to troll his haters. Today, he posted a video on TikTok showing off his newly-painted toenails. The short clip simply features Wiz taking a video of himself in his underwear, taking great care to focus on his baby blue toenails. He didn’t recite a poem this time. Instead, he let the video speak for itself. The rapper definitely has a sense of humor.
Comments on the video seemed good-natured, with most either admiring the paint job or the fact that he was in his underwear. “I didn’t even notice the toes on the first watch,” said one very thirsty user. “No more ppl talking ish about his feet. He got himself a pedi. #wiz for the win,” said another. Looks like Wiz has won this round. However, it’s probably only a matter of time before the trolls find something new to comment on. What do you think of Wiz’s new TikTok? Let us know in the comments.
Wiz Khalifa is someone who has certainly expanded their brand well past the music world. Overall, Wiz is an amazing businessman. He has investments in the world of MMA. Moreover, he has his very own cannabis brand called Khalifa Kush. Wiz was certainly ahead of the curve when it came to getting into the cannabis industry. At this point, pretty well everyone is launching their own brand. However, Wiz can safely say that he was one of the ones who did it first, and as a result, he is a true pioneer.
That said, it should come as no surprise that the artist would want to expand his brand in any way possible. One of the best ways to this is through collaboration. There are tons of famous weed smokers out there, and Wiz Khalifa is well aware of this, seeing as he is one. As it turns out, his latest collaboration seems to be an absolute stroke of genius. Overall, this is because he is looking to enlist his namesake, Mia Khalifa. For those who may not know, Mia Khalifa is a former pornstar turned podcaster and influencer whose name remains well-known.

“Y’all are gonna LOVE this Khalifa Kush colab i got comin wit @miakhalifa,” Wiz Khalifa wrote on his Twitter. Although these two come from very different backgrounds and professions, this collaboration would make a whole bunch of sense. They have the same last names and the potential name for the collab would certainly be a sight to behold. Although, for now, neither of these two have let on to what the extent of this partnership will be. All we know is that it will most certainly involve Khalifa Kush.
At this point, all we can ask is why hasn’t this been done sooner? After all, it really does feel like such a no-brainer. Either way, fans of Khalifa Kush should be hyped. Let us know what you think of this partnership between Wiz Khalifa and Mia Khalifa, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.
Wiz Khalifa is continuing to show love to one his favorite rappers. Max B came to prominence in the mid 2000s. The Harlem native first began getting hype when he appeared on several songs in 2005. Perhaps most notably, he featured on Jim Jones’ “Baby Girl” and Cam’ron’s “You Gotta Love it.” Furthermore. Max B released his first mixtape, Million Dollar Baby in 2006. However, legal troubles would derail the budding star’s career. Despite this, Max continues to be a beloved figure among many hip-hop fans. One of those fans is Wiz Khalifa.
Wiz recently appeared on Mike Tyson’s Hotboxin Podcast. The “Black and Yellow” rapper revealed why Max B is such an inspiration. “He just had a really dope, just real in-your-face real confidence,” he said. “I looked up to that.” In many ways, Max B was a pioneer in hip-hop. The melodic style he helped make famous is now commonplace. Wiz says Max’ style was also one of the things that stood out about him. “I look up to his melodies,” Wiz said. “I like how he mixed melody and rap.
Additionally, Wiz also says he seeks to emulate Max’s incredible work rate. “Dude had like 28 mixtapes before he went to jail,” he said. “At that point in my life, it was like, that’s a dude that I can relate to because I’m like man, I’m tryna go that hard too. I want to be in peoples’ faces too.” Furthermore, Wiz, sees his confidence as something else he’s learned from Max. “I’m that confident about my music as well,” he said. Furthermore, Wiz credits to Max B for making such an impact while being a largely underground rapper. “He was like, really still an underground artist but people like me and Curren$y and a couple other people,” he said. “We really gravitated towards him and seen the polish in all of that.”
Max B was slated to become a breakout star in 2006. However, in July of that year, he was arrested on serious felony charges. Authorities accused Max of participating in a botched robbery and homicide in New Jersey. Subsequently, he was found guilty in 2009 and sentenced to 75 years in prison. However, his sentence would later be reduced to 12 years. Furthermore, Max’ friend and label mate French Montana has claimed that Max will be released later this year.
DJ Holiday has returned with a new single, “No Stress,” featuring Wiz Khalifa and O.T. Genasis. In recent years, Holiday has had his hands on an impressive string of hits. In 2014, he released “Miley”, featuring Waka Flocka and Wiz. Then, in 2017, he teamed up with 2 Chainz for “Wassup Wid It.” He followed that up in 2018 with the track, “2 Seater,” which featured Quavo and 21 Savage. Now, Holiday is back with another banger just in time for summer.
“No Stress” is produced by YS On The Track. In a press release, DJ Holiday spoke about the New Jersey-based producer’s work. “I listened to that beat for weeks, but didn’t know what to do with it!” he revealed. “The flute on it had me mesmerized, just didn’t know who to give it to.” As Holiday himself says, YS On The Track employs an infectious flute melody in the background of the instrumental. Furthermore, the descending earworm from the wind instrument is flanked by all of the production one would expect from a modern rap track. 808s boom and hi-hat triplets blaze over the top of the melody, providing a hard-hitting background for Wiz and Genasis to flow over.
“No Stress” is a banger about not sweating the small stuff and enjoying life. The song starts with some pretty intense coughing by someone who clearly just took a pretty big hit. That sound sets the mood for the track, which can only be described as “unbothered.” As such, both Wiz and Genasis rap about not letting anything get to them as long as they’re getting their bag. “Holiday told me to turn up / it’s no clip for the burner / these n**gas want me mad / run and just got me a bag,” Genasis raps over the undulating beat. When Wiz comes in, his verse echoes the same sentiment: “I don’t stress / I got a check / I’m so blessed / I gotta flex.”
In the press release, DJ Holiday also spoke about how he decided who to put on the song. “O.T. has always been one of my favorites, and I always told him we was gon’ get one in every time he came to Atlanta,” Holiday said. “So I sent him the beat, he destroyed the hook and I thought it was instant heat… Only thing missing was my Pittsburgh big dog, Wiz Khalifa!” What do you think of the new track? Sound off in the comments below!
Quotable Lyrics:
Rack it up counting a mill
Told the plug give me a deal
All my diamonds chill
All my diamonds real
Wiz Khalifa almost knocked Mike Tyson out while trying to show him how to do “kush-ups.” For those unaware of the endurance test, a kush-up consists of taking ten quicks puffs from a joint (blunt, pen, or whatever smokable you prefer) without blowing the smoke out. Moreover, Wiz tried to show Tyson the technique on the latter’s Hotboxin’ podcast. When the boxer tried to do one, he only got to two puffs before coughing. “Do ten puffs but don’t exhale,” the Taylor Gang leader explained. “1,2, 3, and you don’t blow the smoke out.
“That was two, that was two,” he acknowledged after Mike started coughing uncontrollably. “So we’ll work on the kush-ups,” Wiz Khalifa remarked with the patience of a coach. “Yes, thank you,” the 56-year-old replied while trying to catch his breath. “Oh god, help me,” he exclaimed. At least the two seemed to have fun together and enjoyed the devil’s lettuce with much more ease and enjoyability than a kush-up. Throughout their conversation, Tyson was able to finish his L with no further hiccups. In the comments section of Wiz’s post with a clip of the interaction, he lightly teased his colleague.
“SMOKIN WIT CHAMP,” Wiz Khalifa captioned in all caps. Also, he added “Somebody come help my boy for real” in a comment. During their interview, they spoke about a lot of cannabis-related topics, including whether legalization would occur in all U.S. states and territories. Currently, marijuana is recreationally legal in 21 states, plus the District of Columbia. Conversely, 37 states allow for medical use of the drug. Of course, this isn’t the first time that Wiz and Tyson linked up to smoke together.
However, there’s only one person who’s seemingly able to out-smoke the Kush & Orange Juice MC, and that’s unsurprisingly Snoop Dogg. The two had a bit of a competition on stage, and though people argued that the order of their trade-offs was against WIz’s favor, he ultimately tapped out first. Given that all names involved are heavy advocates for marijuana, it’s still quite the achievement. Regardless, check out the full Hotboxin’ episode below come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Mike Tyson and Wiz Khalifa.
DJ Holiday is here to tell you that you don’t need “No Stress,” reminding folks all around the world to live their life to the fullest without any worries. With life, there are always ups and downs and highs and lows — and we can appreciate any music that promotes positivity and upliftment.
Today, the Atlanta native returns to unleash his newest single titled “No Stress,” enlisting two of the rap game’s favorite artists, Wiz Khalifa and O.T. Genasis. All three artists joined forces to shoot the official music today in Los Angeles, and the energy on set was unmatched. Nothing but laughter filled the studio.
The hook sees Wiz singing, “I don’t stress, I got a check” repeatedly, as O.T. delivers a high-energy, braggadocious verse and Wiz follows suit.
Holiday speaks on the all-star collab, “O.T. has always been one of my favorites and I always told him we was gon’ get one in every time he came to Atlanta. So I sent him the beat, he destroyed the hook and I thought it was instant heat. It was definitely giving me a ‘Push It’ and “Cut It’ vibes.” Only thing missing was my Pittsburgh big dog, Wiz Khalifa!! His fanbase is next level and they always showed me love from ‘Cabin Fever 2’ days so I thought it was only right knowing how big this record could possibly be to put him on it! ‘No Stress’ was born from there.”
DJ Holiday has worked with all the greats, and his tagline “Holiday Season!” ensues instant nostalgia. He currently hosts an afternoon slot for the Atlanta radio station Streetz 94.5 during the weekdays.
