Wiz Khalifa’s “Cabin Fever 3” is one big bachelor party hosted by Juicy J.
Sonny Digital leads the hottest production on the project while Khalifa is joined by a variety of his rap friends in hip-hop infamy. “Respect” gets the party flowing, featuring K Camp and Juicy J, who goes in on a rant that is half pep-talk and half brow-beating notions about self-worth. Wiz Khalifa stretches his voice, often actually singing melodies about loving foreign women, pre-rolled joints and fast cars.

The way the guys put together their story tinged with drugs and expensive clothing gives “Cabin Fever 3” an anthemic quality and preaches a simple formula — wake up, believe in yourself, make your dreams come true.
Fellow Taylor Gang-affiliate Chevy Woods shows off his skills on “No Worries” alongside his boss as the two detail the amount of money they have, what they spend it on and how long it takes to blow through more than $100,000.
Some might consider these notions shallow but the sentiment is more celebratory than braggadocios. There’s a few crass “boys will be boys” moments on “Foreign Bitches Freak Dips” and rhymes about ejaculating on a woman’s face that some will surely find problematic.
The good news is, Wiz Khalifa is still rapping about kush and has expanded his repertoire beyond just his smoking persona. He’s representing Pittsburgh to the fullest and is still proud to be from the Steel City, alongside Curren$y (“Prequel”) and Problem (“Call Again”). Gold stars go to “Gangster 101” for featuring King Los on what amounts to one of the year’s standout posse cuts. On the whole, “Cabin Fever 3” is a mixtape you can play all the way through, again and again — and especially if you’re snowed in.
