On the heels of the release of his new record “Contact,” Multi-Platinum selling, Grammy and Golden Globe-nominated recording artist Wiz Khalifa will perform a 20-minute DJ set featuring a selection of his favorite tracks to smoke to, while interacting with fans and celebrating the release of his “The Saga of Wiz Khalifa” EP, which will also be released on April 20th.
