Fresh off the release of his Taylor Allderdice mixtape comes Wiz Khalifa's first single from his sophomore album, O.N.I.F.C., due Aug. 28. The title, "Work Hard Play Hard," speaks for itself. The Pittsburgh representative raps about his pricey possessions and flaunting his cash, rightfully earned from putting in work.

"The bigger the bill, the harder you ball/ Well, I'm throwin' mine 'cause my money long/ The quicker you're here, the faster you go/ That's why where I come from the only thing we know is...," Wiz rhymes before the chorus of "Work hard, play hard" sounds off over a military march-inspired beat.

"Work Hard Play Hard," produced by Stargate and Benny Blanco, will be performed on the Taylor Gang leader's new tour, Under the Influence of Music. The rap star will grace the stage alongside Mac Miller, Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q and Chevy Woods beginning July 25.
