To catch you up on a little history, Wiz is from Pittsburg, Pennsylvania - although he traveled around the world before reaching High School, due to having parents in the military. Cameron Jibril Thomaz is his government name. His stage name derives from the world "khalifa" which in arabic means "successor" and then secondly, the word "wisdom" which was shortened to "Wiz". His name is also said to stem from being called "Young Wiz" when he was younger because he was good at everything he did. His first mixtape came out in 2005 and was called "Prince of the City: Welcome to Pistolvania". He later went to release his first album "Show & Prove" in 2006, then "Deal or No Deal". His most recent work stems from his HOT Mixtape, "Kush and Orange Juice" which is free for downloading and was released in April 2010.
Before continuing with his Waken Baken Tour 2010, police found him with 2 ounces of Mary Jane in his tour bus which caught him charges for marijuana trafficking, a felony count of maintaining a vehicle for sale or storage of marijuana, and a misdemeanor charge of possession of paraphernalia. He was released after posting a $300,000 bail and we are honored to have him performing live this week in Baltimore City.
Since he's been signed to Atlantic Records, his career is sky-rocketing. You can find him on the latest CD's from Dirty Diddy Money and Jamie Foxx. To get a taste of some more of his music and what is in store for the Waken Baken Tour performance, I checked out slew of videos - and this one I loved. You can also check out the "Black and Yellow" video below, as well.
