"The collaboration that's most memorable to me is definitely the Bone Thugs-N-Harmony collaboration because of how big of a fan of theirs I am," the rapper said. "I listened to their music growing up, from second grade 'til now. I have a tattoo of them on my leg. … That was a dream come true."
Other guest artists on Rolling Papers 2 include Chevy Woods, Curren$y, Darrius Willrich, Hardo, Jimmy Wopo, Lil Skies, and TheMxxnLight.
The first Rolling Papers appeared in 2011 containing Khalifa's epic single "Black And Yellow" for which he was nominated for Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song at the 54th GRAMMY Awards. He followed with the albums O.N.I.F.C. and Black Hollywood before revisiting the Rolling Papers' winning namesake.
If you want to catch some of the new tracks in action, Khalifa and Lee's duo Rae Sremmurd go on the road co-headlining the Dazed & Blazed tour beginning July 21 in Detroit.
