We are proud to announce that Rostrum Records has signed WIZ KHALIFA to an exclusive recording contract! WIZ is a 17-year old rapper from the wonderful city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He rhymes effortlessly and writes songs with unparalleled passion. He spent much of his childhood traveling around the world, as his parents were both in the U.S. army, serving in Germany, Japan, and in Desert Storm. This lifestyle forced him to grow up faster than normal and offered him many experiences from which to draw inspiration. WIZ is wise beyond his years. He is truly talented and we are lucky to have him on our team.
