Last fall, Wiz Khalifa had a plan and it has gone exactly the way he hoped for it to. The Pittsburgh rapper set out to create a song for his Taylor Gang crew. While the song was for them, he also wanted it to become the anthem for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Upon hitting the radio, "Black & Yellow" instantly became a hit record. While it did not top the Billboard Hot 100, it was a major hit. Late last year, the song was certified platinum by the RIAA. It was a major celebration for Wiz.

So far, the New Year has been great for Khalifa, as his song is still getting radio play and he has Amber Rose. Now, he is trying to push it as far as he can. With his album right around the corner, Wiz Khalifa is celebrating a double platinum single.
