Wiz Khalifa: Kush & Orange Juice

The much anticipated release from Wiz Khalifa, “Kush & Orange Juice” finally hit the internet yesterday making a big impact on the rap game and showing what sort of damage an independent artist can do when using today’s internet marketing machine to their advantage. Not only was the buzz extremely high in anticipation for the tape’s release, the music lived up to all the hype.

3rd ID was lucky enough to create the artwork for Kush & Orange Juice pulling inspiration from soul singer David Ruffin’s 1980 release, “Gentleman Ruffin“. The vintage style of the cover matches the feel of Wiz’s music perfectly and the art/music combo is a great mix.

Do yourself a favor and download the tape here. Hit the jump for the back cover design and tracklist.
