Wiz Khalifa - The Race
Producer: I.D. Labs
Album: Rolling Papers
Label: Rostrum/Atlantic/RRP
If you’re not a Wiz Khalifa fan and you just wish he’d go away, I have to be honest, there’s a better chance of Rick Ross doing a country western album. Hate him or love him, Wiz has done a great job of staying on top of his visibility game thanks to the now platinum-encrusted catapult known as Black & Yellow. Whether it’s a guest verse or just a single he felt like dropping for s**ts and giggles, Wiz seems to be on every radar known to man. With the March 29, release date of his new album, Rolling Papers, still a few weeks away, we’ve now got a dreamy new single, The Race, to entertain us in the meantime. Available as a promo single on iTunes, The Race was produced by I.D. Labs, who crafts a hypnotizing and smoothly riding beat. Lyrically Wiz uses The Race to reflect upon his success and illustrate his individuality; what the man may lack in humility, he more than makes up for in persistence and personality. He’s come a long way, and if Race is any indication, he won’t be slowing down anytime soon.

Really feeling this. Wiz slightly switches up his flow on this one and the hook is well sung. Feeling that spaced-out beat too. Dope music for driving around in your car.

The Wiz tends to keep on the same topic for most if not all of his songs. However, he does make enjoyable music and its hard not to like the dude. The race is a typical Wiz joint and it has that hit feel to it.

It took until the first hook for me to accept this song. I like Wiz, but I've never thought his stuff was exceptional, and I still don't. But he's usually decent, and this song is a very good example of that. Not in my rotation, but I would listen to it again. 2.5 overall.

"The Race" perfectly captures Wiz attitude and personality. It's laid back, real cool, and vibes. Doobie lovers and friends should find this pleasing to the ears.

This production is nice and smooth. Definitely a good track for an album called "Rolliing Papers"! I didn't really know Wiz before, so I didn't pay much attention to him until he showed me how to roll with papers! Now the dude is OK in my book. LOL
This can go into Rotation. Definitely looking forward to the album.

This is the kind of stuff Wiz is awesome at, laid back music, and this one you can specifically throw it on in your car and just ride. It's nice to see that Rolling Papers should be an album where Wiz stays true to what he's been doing.

Not a classic, but still a wiz khalifa track that is hypnotizing. Rolling papers is gonna be a good not great album, just from judging by the songs that have been released.

I'm never blown away by Wiz's flow..... But when a great beat, nice hook, and solid verses combine It don't have to have a dude going HAM. Some people do not understand this.... Love this track!

Pretty nice, mellow beat, but Wiz needs to step it up on the mic. He is a decent rapper, but I want to hear him killing beats instead of this laid back, Drake type flow. Decent song.
