After releasing summer hit single "We Dem Boyz" and the remix version featuring Rick Ross, Nas and Schoolboy Q recently, Wiz Khalifa discusses his highly anticipated upcoming fifth studio album "Blacc Hollywood."

The last major-label record that Khalifa dropped was "O.N.I.F.C." back in 2012. When asked by Vlad TV why it has taken him to release the new album, he said, "It had a lot to do with just getting the whole vision in order and just making sure that when this came out that it's really pushing me forward in my career and in my life. And not just putting music out to put it out."

The Pittsburgh emcee continued by praising Atlantic Records: "They really understand me, you know, as an artist," he said. "They want the best for me, so we just had to really come back and rearrange some things and just make sure that the visual's clear. So, when it does come out, we can kill it how we're supposed to."

The Taylor Gang founder then talked about those who inspired him with creativity and the title of the forthcoming album.

"Just to get everybody to, like all the real creative people and the masterminds behind the sh*t that people see," he said. "I just wanted them to embrace their mind state and really have somebody telling them that their game plan is cool enough for the world. Cause I come from that whole underdog and that whole behind the scenes and then to the front of the scenes era. So, I just want people to know that I got 'em. I'm holding it down.

"I wanted to get away from the color of it first of all because a lot of people associate black Hollywood with like the blaxploitation movies or just black actors in general," he said. "So, I just wanted to get away from the color and just more aiming towards an attitude and the more general purpose for everybody."

Wiz Khalifa's "Blacc Hollywood," which features Ty Dolla $ign, Juicy J, Curren$y and Nicki Minaj among others, is set for a release on August 19.
