Following the release of Rolling Papers, Wiz Khalifa has gained new fans and has also done relatively well with critics. His debut album has been noted for his singing. Khalifa's current single, "Roll Up," features him doing just as much singing than rapping.

Many rappers have lived and died by singing. A decade ago, Ja Rule gave up hardcore rap to harmonize. Early on, he sold platinum albums and even made history. But, when 50 Cent criticized him for this style, his career was ended.

Wiz Khalifa recently spoke up about his harmonizing on some of his records. Khalifa said he has so many different records to deal with, so he goes with the flow. There are some R&B beats he has had to rap over, but there are some parts where singing sounded better.

When he feels it is time to sing, Wiz Khalifa breaks into singing mode.
