mgk & Wiz Khalifa Head Back to 2010 for Nostalgic ‘Blog Era Boyz’ Mixtape: Stream It Now

The duo is currently on tour together.

Mgk and Wiz Khalifa emerged as stars at the turn of the 2010s, and they’re paying homage to their breakthrough era with the Blog Era Boyz joint mixtape, which hit streaming services on Friday (May 22).

Wiz and Kels originally teamed up back in 2013 for “Mind of a Stoner,” and rekindled their working relationship in 2026. They duo joined forces for a pair of singles — “Girl Next Door” and “Everything Tatted” — to gain momentum heading into the collab tape more than a decade later.
