Wiz Khalifa covers the Survival Mode issue in DSQUARED2

There’s no denying that the Pittsburgh native rapper Wiz Khalifa has become one of this generation’s most successful rappers. Having amassed three platinum albums and a plethora of gold and platinum-certified singles – including the mammoth Paul Walker tribute, “See You Again”, which has now gone 11 times platinum since its 2015 release, Khalifa is a seasoned veteran, handling business through his own label, Taylor Gang Entertainment.

“I just want to make music that appeals to everybody and attempt to appeal to people who might not have heard of me.”

Covering the Survival Mode issue, Wiz Khalifa chats to HUNGER’s Chris Saunders about his role in hip-hop, the secrets behind his business-minded outlook and what drives him to continue to be the best.
