Wiz Khalifa "Smokin' Strong" the mixtape (No DJ Version)

I'm sure most of you copped the "Cabin Fever" mixtape, which was the prequel to Wizs' upcoming debut album "Rolling Papers", due out March 29th. I wasn't impressed at all with Cabin Fever & was quite disappointed, so when I seen this project Smokin' Strong, which contains most of early material as well as songs from the upcoming album, plus some remixes & unreleased tracks, I was hesitant but gave it a chance. This is something you could replace Cabin Fever with, or just a nice edition to add to your Wiz collection.
