Wiz Khalifa has released "Yiccen," which came out on September 1 and arrives ahead of an EP he is preparing called COOL AZZ SUMMER.

The track sits in his usual register. HotNewHipHop described the vocal as his signature laid-back flow, set over production the site called dark and wavy, with the beat built to push the voice forward rather than compete with it.

COOL AZZ SUMMER is the project the single points toward, and it is being framed as an EP rather than a full album. No release date has been attached to it in this announcement.

Khalifa has been releasing music since his debut and has a catalogue of songs and projects that his audience has stayed with across a decade and a half, which is the context a single like this lands in.

"Yiccen" is the first piece of that next project to reach listeners, so it is doing the work of setting a tone rather than closing anything out.

The song joins the rest of this year's hip-hop singles on the release calendar, where the EP will show up once a date is set.
