Wiz Khalifa Plays It “COOL” — New Album Out Now On 10K Projects
New label, hometown producers, no noise. Wiz Khalifa’s new album COOL arrived Friday, November 13 — 14 songs through his new partnership with 10K Projects, the signing that returns him to the Warner Music Group family and reunites him with Marsha St. Hubert, his former project manager, now a president at the label.
Wiz announced the album October 23 the way the title suggests — calmly — dropping the single “The Calm” the same day, with Jae Harp singing the chorus. The released album runs 14 tracks: “Cool Intro,” “Yiccen,” “Roll Up and Smile,” “Camo Shorts,” “Financial Advice,” “The Calm,” “Lost on the Road,” “Part of the Team,” “Summer All Year,” “Highs and Lows,” “Private Invite Only,” “Stoner Film,” “Los Angeles Sky” and “Cool Outro.” September’s single “Yiccen” sits at track 2 and “The Calm” at track 6, exactly where the pre-release listing put them. The one listed feature is Stixx, on “Part of the Team.”
The production credits are the hometown story. The album is produced by E.Dan, I.D. Labs, Sledgren, Ricky P, Big Jerm and Kenny Wright — the Pittsburgh circle that built the Taylor Gang sound in the first place. “The Calm” itself was written by Wiz with Eric Dan, Kenneth Wright, Edward Murray, Mackenzie Stotts and Jermal J Harper, and produced by Wiz, Dan, Wright, Sledgren and Ricky P. (The Apple Music copyright line credits Taylor Gang Ent., LLC; the release runs through the 10K Projects partnership.)
Release day doubles as a full Wiz holiday, apparently: Chipotle built its returning “Tatted Like a Chipotle Bag” BOGO promotion around Friday, November 13 — the same day COOL drops — with Wiz fronting the campaign. The album is the main event; the burrito is a bonus.
What to listen for: whether the Pittsburgh producer reunion recaptures the early Taylor Gang chemistry or pushes it somewhere new, and how the calm-to-cool concept holds across 14 tracks.
ITSBIZKIT FIRST LISTEN: COOL is Wiz in cruise control and proud of it — no chasing the charts, no forcing a moment. The Pittsburgh production family (E. Dan, I.D. Labs, Sledgren, Ricky P, Big Jerm) gives it that classic Taylor Gang warmth, and “The Calm” is exactly what its title promises. Fourteen tracks of a man who knows exactly who he is.
STANDOUTS: “The Calm” (the announcement-day single), “Cool Intro” (the opener) and “Part of the Team” ft. Stixx — hear all three in the review carousel on @itsbizkitsports.
