Wiz Khalifa and mgk released a new mixtape, Blog Era Boyz, on Friday, May 22. The project arrives as Khalifa is touring with mgk on the Lost Americana Tour.
Blog Era Boyz runs nine tracks and collects the two songs the duo issued ahead of the full release — “everything tatted” and “girl next door.” The pair first worked together in 2013 on the song “Mind of a Stoner,” and this new project is presented as a direct nod to that earlier chemistry.
The mixtape has been described as channeling the carefree spirit, hunger, and DIY energy that defined the blog era generation of hip-hop, a framing reinforced by the looser, throwback sequencing and by the decision to bundle the previously released singles into a short, focused set.
The timing ties the release directly to the road. The second leg of mgk’s Lost Americana Tour kicked off in California on May 15, and Wiz Khalifa joined mgk on the bill; the tour is scheduled to close in Ridgefield, Wash., on July 1. Releasing the mixtape while the two artists are performing together gives fans immediate context for the new songs and supplies fresh material for the remaining dates.
That framing creates a small friction: Blog Era Boyz leans on DIY-era aesthetics and the idea of a back-to-basics collaboration, yet it drops in the middle of a structured tour schedule that began less than a week before the mixtape’s release. The contrast between an old-fashioned, blog-era sound and the logistics of a national tour highlights how nostalgia is being packaged and delivered on contemporary terms.
For listeners, the immediate takeaway is straightforward. Blog Era Boyz collects nine tracks, including the previously released singles “everything tatted” and “girl next door,” and reaffirms the pairing that began with their 2013 collaboration. For mgk and Wiz Khalifa, the release functions as both a creative snapshot and a practical playbook: lean into the blog-era persona on record, then bring those songs to life on stage as the Lost Americana Tour continues toward its July 1 finale.
The release answers the basic question it raises — this is deliberately a return to the artists’ Blog Era roots, packaged as a short, direct mixtape and timed to support their shared run of shows through the end of the tour.
