Taylor Gang’s own Wiz Khalifa sat down with Nick Huff Barili at this weekends Smokeout festival for an exclusive Hard Knock TV interview. This is Part 1. Wiz opens up about the personal letter he wrote to the Taylors while he was listening to Odd Future’s The Internet album. Wiz explains how his sound going forward is going to be more along the lines of Kush & Orange Juice.

Wiz also explains the meaning of his new mixtape Taylor Allderdice and why he choose to name it after the high school he graduated from Pittsburgh Allderdice.

We apologize for the less than perfect audio. The microphone that we had on Wiz disconnected when he put it in his pockets so we had to use backup audio for interview which picked up a lot of the festivals sound. For the real fans that make it through the interview you will see that Wiz speaks very candidly about key topics.
