Christo, the Man Behind Wiz Khalifa's Latest Song

Photo by Gregory Neiser

Christo, aka "bounceman," is a Pittsburgh musician with a recognizable sound and a hand in a lot of songs from the city's hip-hop artists. He has hits with majors like Wiz Khalifa, Mac Miller and even Atlanta's Ludacris. Christo's crisp sound supports up and coming acts Choo Jackson and EarthGang.

Production and engineering credits occupy only a portion of Christo's time: he writes songs and drums. The man is truly an entertainer, his "Drake Appreciation Night" DJ set at Pittsburgh art gallery Boom Concepts had the attendees lit, or find Christo on stage while he tours with the aforementioned artists. All of these arenas play into his curated sound: moments of lull, suspense and excitement.

Christo makes headlines today because of his work on Wiz Khalifa's new song, "Outsiders," along with Big Jerm. The track comes in a string of new music from Wiz this week. Wiz dropped "Most of Us" over the weekend and "Just Because" drops along with "Outsiders" now.

Enjoy music from the feature man, Christo, as well as Wiz's recent songs below and under OfficeVibes.

Wiz Khalifa - DayToday: Boys of Zummer Ep. 1

Enjoy below and look for new episodes premiering on Revolt, Wednesdays at 10:30pm EST.

Wiz Khalifa - Lit

If you are a fan of Wiz Khalifa chances are you have seen his web series "DayToday". It provides a grounded look into the rockstar's fun lifestyle. While "DayToday's" latest season ended in January, the string of music videos Wiz has released have definitely kept fans up to date with the rapper's happenings. Photographer Dan Folger has done a masterful job capturing cohesive moments that flow to songs "Good For Us", "No Permission", "The Play", and the newest--"Lit". The latest visuals feature show Wiz rehearsing for The Boys of Zummer Tour 2015, time spent in Las Vegas, and even flexing his DJ Cat Daddy act. Enjoy "Lit" below.

Wiz Khalifa - Good For us/No Permission

Keeping to music related news, 412 native Wiz Khalifa is one of the best in the game at staying relevant and striking while his iron is hot. He is riding the wave of his second chart topping record, "See You Again", and received national exposure on SNL on May 2nd. Within the last week Wiz has done something interesting, released visuals for new singles before the audio. "Good For us" and "No Permission" appeared on Wiz's YouTube April 29 and May 5 respectively, thanks to his star shooter, photographer Dan Folger. This past Sunday and Monday Wiz took to his SoundCloud to release the audio versions to both his singles. The Taylor Gang camp is successfully using all of its social media platforms to keep a constant audience on the Pittsburgh rapper. It only makes sense because his Boys of Zummer Tour 2015 begins June 10 with Fall Out Boy. Does all of this activity mean an album or mixtape is on the way? One can only hope, until then enjoy "Good For us" and "No Permission" below.
