The musical achievements of Wiz Khalifa have reached monumental heights, recently marked by a flurry of accolades. Just recently, the Atlanta-based rapper received twelve new RIAA certifications, cementing his status as a powerhouse in modern music. Among these impressive awards were a sixteen-times platinum certification for his hit track See You Again (featuring Charlie Puth). These recent milestones set the stage for a significant professional chapter change, ensuring his creative momentum continues unabated.
The highly decorated artist has formally committed his future to 10K Projects. This deal sees the rapper embarking on a new musical journey, which includes the release of his forthcoming single, The Calm, via the label. This move represents a notable reunion, bringing him back into the orbit of the Warner Music Group family.
A homecoming to the fold
This professional shift brings Wiz Khalifa back into close proximity with key industry figures and personal friends. Central to this new era is Marsha St. Hubert, who serves as the co-president of 10K Projects. The association is deeply rooted, recalling his early career beginnings within the Warner Music Group structure. Indeed, his journey began when he was eighteen years old, signing with Warner Records before transitioning to a successful tenure with Atlantic Records four years later.
The significance of this connection was underscored by the rapper himself, who remarked, “It’s good to be home and back with my day 1, Marsha.” These relationships have proved enduring, fostering a collaborative environment that the team is eager to build upon. The focus now is clearly on revitalising his catalogue and producing fresh, high-quality material for the coming years.
The strength of the inner circle
The collaborative support structure around the artist is equally noteworthy. Will Dzombak, a co-founder of the Taylor Gang and founder of the William Gerard Group LLC, spoke of the synergy within the creative team. He highlighted the sustained nature of these partnerships, noting that his group has been working together for more than a decade and a half.
Adding to the excitement, Constance Schwartz-Morini, the co-founder and CEO of SMAC Entertainment, emphasised the nature of this return. She framed the signing as a “full-circle moment” for him, particularly given Marsha’s integral role throughout his journey from the very beginning. This suggests a powerful, established foundation that the team is ready to leverage for future success.
What comes next for the star
The immediate focus of the label is the debut of the new single, The Calm. This track is not merely a standalone piece; it is part of a larger creative undertaking. The song itself was crafted by a substantial group of writers, including Wiz, Eric Dan, Kenneth Wright, and others, and was produced by a collective of industry veterans like Wiz, Dan, and Ricky P.
The anticipation surrounding the project suggests that an album release is highly probable in the coming weeks. The entire team is poised to “continue to make history together,” as one source reported. It is clear that this reunion and the energy of the 10K Projects network will drive Wiz Khalifa‘s next chapter. After establishing his roots, he is home once more.
