Wiz Khalifa — The Saga of Wiz Khalifa EP


Wiz Khalifa offers an interesting showcase for some excellent guests in this mixtape. Quavo, Tyga and Logic stand out, while Wiz offers performances a little below his level, for example in "Still Wiz" (...) he steals the beat from the classic to make a version of it. That hell of a piano is always dope. The delivery of the Wiz, less. I prefer the rhymes of Hova spitted by the Doctor on the lowrider next to Snoop. More than the chorus sung by Logic on the generic trap rhythm of the last piece, in which he gives a pretty average verse, to steal the scene is Tyga, who's incredible, he's always in "Taste" mode, probably facilitated by a trap rhythm that is tailored for him. Wiz's light-hearted delivery creates tracks similar to "Clouds in the Air", which slips away without leaving you anything. 5/10.
