Wiz Khalifa Goes Gold And Finalizes Another Tour
by Karen
These days, it is common knowledge most artists make their money off tours. Album sales are down with no drastic improvement in sight and no matter how much said rapper/singer loves their craft, they’re not about to do it for free. However, whenever an album actually does sell, that’s considered icing on the cake. Take Wiz Khalifa for instance. For as long as I can remember, the guy has been on tour. Now, he’s a bonafide superstar and his debut LP Rolling Papers is certified gold. Don’t expect Wiz to become complacent though.
Kicking off June 5, Pittsburgh’s favorite pirate embarks on yet another 40 city tour – which has been talked about for over a month now – alongside fellow Taylor Chevy Woods and G.O.O.D. Music’s Big Sean for the Rolling Papers Tour. Check out the finalized list of dates after the jump.

Who said smoking weed makes you lazy? Well, it may, but smoking weed is making Wiz Khalifa one rich son of a b*tch right now. And I may have to find a way to hit the July 22 show just so I can hear “Gang Bang” live.
Cedar Park? What?! That’s down the street! Wooooohooooo!
