“Roll Up,” the recently unveiled second single from Khalifa’s upcoming record shares some of the sensibilities which made “Black and Yellow” so charming, even if it doesn’t come close to delivering on its predecessor’s promise. It’s infectious chorus and playful synthesizers made it one of the top hip-hop cuts of the year and one of the most instantly memorable rap songs in recent memory. “Black And Yellow,” an ode to the team colors of all of the professional sports teams in Khalifa’s hometown of Pittsburgh, won over fans on both mainstream hip-hop radio and within the open-minded segments of the indie music community (scoring placements on both A-Trak‘s Dirty South Dance 2 and Girl Talk‘s All Day). Although his major label debut, Rolling Papers, won’t be released by Atlantic Records until March 29th, one of the album’s tracks made Wiz Khalifa an overnight superstar way back in September of 2010.
