Wiz Khalifa Launches “HotBox By Wiz” Delivery-Only Restaurant
Wiz Khalifa is one of hip hop’s more unproblematic talents, largely opting to stay away from the drama to get to the Oreo bag.
The Pittsburgh rapper announced a partnership with Nextbite, a company that “successfully creates delivery-only restaurant concepts with high-quality, chef-inspired menus available through delivery apps,” to launch his new “HotBox By Wiz” virtual restaurant venture.
Wiz’s chain of delivery only restaurants launches today in Pittsburgh (obviously), New York City, Los Angeles, San Diego, Chicago, Denver, D.C, Indianapolis, and Houston.
According to a statement released to announce the new venture, the virtual restaurants will “feature Wiz’s personal favorite dishes” and is “personally curated by Wiz himself, with input from fans.”
Fans can choose between “small hits,” “big hits,” “healthy hits,” and dessert options, which include options ranging from “crispy, savory burnt brisket ends smothered in a smoky sweet BBQ sauce” to a “burn slow blackened salmon salad.”
New locations are set to be announced with input from fans, but those lucky enough to live in the metropolitan areas included in the initial rollout can start ordering their Wiz approved munchies today.
Wiz is also currently promoting the release of his new McQueen and the Violet Fog line of gin, which you can pair with your HotBox meal if you really want to Taylor Gang it out.

The Real Mack The Knife honors memory and spirit with soulful release “Rio Grande de Loíza”
The song “Rio Grande de Loíza” by The Real Mack The Knife is a powerful tribute to Puerto Rico’s history, memory, and sacred spirit. The track transforms nature into something spiritual, intimate, and timeless, inspired by the legendary river and Julia de Burgos’ immortal voice.
The song “Rio Grande de Loíza” has an old, alive vibe from the beginning. River water, moonlight, desire, and cultural memory shape a song that seems to rise from the ground. The Real Mack The Knife uses the river as a living, symbolic being, unlike the original work.
Julia de Burgos gives the piece incredible depth. She sees the river as a witness, a mother, a wound, a mirror, and a prayer throughout the song’s emotional landscape. The literary and spiritual connection gives the track a haunting beauty beyond music.

Devan Ibiza adds soul and reflection on new release “Portland”
With “Portland,” Devan Ibiza creates a warm, thoughtful, atmospheric hip-hop record rooted in boom-bap’s deep, reflective energy. Soulful production and introspective mood make it a quiet moment of thought rather than a distraction.
“Portland” embodies classic hip-hop. Boom-bap gives it a rhythmic foundation, and warm, soulful production draws listeners in. This beat is perfect for contemplation, letting emotion and thought flow.
The single’s mood adds interest. Devan Ibiza values subtlety and atmosphere over loudness and trends. The song’s restraint is its strength. Late-night thoughts, personal memories, and quiet realizations make “Portland” contemplative.
Devan Ibiza’s release is well-paced emotionally. Since the song is never rushed or crowded, its atmosphere can naturally resonate. That patience gives “Portland” a timeless quality usually reserved for classic hip-hop stories and soulful underground records.
