Rolling Papers 2 (sometimes stylized as Rolling Papers II) is the sixth studio album by American rapper Wiz Khalifa. It was released on July 13, 2018, by Taylor Gang Entertainment and Atlantic Records,[2] and is the sequel to his major-label debut Rolling Papers (2011).[3] The album features guest appearances by Gucci Mane, Swae Lee, Ty Dolla Sign, PartyNextDoor, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony and Snoop Dogg, among others. It also features appearances from R&B duo THEMXXNLIGHT, as well as Jimmy Wopo, who is credited posthumously following his death on June 18, 2018, less than a month before the album's release. The production is handled by Cardo, Mike Will Made It, Tay Keith, and Young Chop, among others.[4]
It was supported by the singles "Something New", "Real Rich", "Hopeless Romantic" and "Gin & Drugs". "Something New" and "Hopeless Romantic" were both modest hits, eventually being certified platinum by the RIAA. The album debuted at number 2 on the Billboard 200.
Background
In an episode of Genius' For the Record, Wiz Khalifa sat down with hip hop journalist Rob Markman to speak on the album, stating,
"With Rolling Papers 2, it's like I'm at a whole new point in my career where people may or may not know what to expect. I feel like this is such an opportunity to just come out to the world. It feels so important, it feels as important as the first time. So that's why I said Rolling Papers 2."[5]
