Wiz Khalifa And mgk Bring Back The Blog Era With ‘blog era boyz’
Write a comment 
More than a decade after helping define the internet rap generation, Wiz Khalifa and mgk are diving headfirst back into the chaos, confidence and carefree attitude that first made them stars. Their newly released collaborative mixtape blog era boyz feels less like a calculated comeback and more like two longtime friends reconnecting with the sound, energy and rebellious spirit that shaped an entire era of online music culture.
At the center of the release is “everything tatted,” a loud, hook-heavy anthem that perfectly captures the project’s nostalgic direction. Packed with aggressive chants, tattoo references and anti-establishment swagger, the track sounds like a late-night Tumblr post turned into a rap song. It is messy, addictive and intentionally over the top in the best possible way.
Musically, “everything tatted” leans heavily into the crossover energy that has defined mgk’s career in recent years. While the song still carries a trap-influenced hip-hop foundation, there is a clear punk and alternative edge running throughout it. Wiz Khalifa’s smoother, laid-back delivery balances mgk’s louder, more chaotic presence, creating a contrast that keeps the song from becoming overwhelming.
Lyrically, the track is unapologetically blunt. Tattoos become more than body art here. They are presented as identity, rebellion and proof of survival. Lines about blackout sleeves, late-night sessions and refusing traditional expectations feed directly into the mixtape’s larger message of creative freedom and self-expression.
That theme runs throughout blog era boyz. Tracks like “family > everything” bring a more reflective side as the duo look back on longevity, loyalty and success, while songs such as “girl next door” drift into hazy melodic territory that recalls some of their earlier fan-favourite collaborations. The overall sound of the project feels intentionally loose and organic, closer to the raw mixtape energy of their early careers than a polished mainstream studio album.
The timing of the release also feels significant. Both artists have spent years evolving beyond the scenes that first introduced them to audiences. mgk has moved through rap, pop-punk and rock stardom, while Wiz Khalifa has remained one of hip-hop’s most recognisable laid-back personalities. With blog era boyz, they are revisiting the era that first connected their fanbases without sounding trapped in nostalgia.
The title itself is a direct nod to the “blog era” of hip-hop, when sites and online communities helped launch a generation of artists outside traditional industry systems. For listeners who grew up during that period, the mixtape taps into something genuinely familiar. The DIY energy, rebellious humour and late-night atmosphere all feel authentic rather than forced.
The release arrives as Wiz Khalifa continues alongside mgk on the North American run of the Lost Americana tour, giving fans a live version of the chemistry driving the mixtape. Judging by the reaction to “everything tatted,” the duo’s return to their roots is already connecting with listeners who have missed that chaotic, genre-blurring energy.
In a music landscape that often feels heavily polished and algorithm-driven, blog era boyz succeeds because it sounds like two artists genuinely having fun again. That freedom, more than anything else, is what gives the project its personality.
