Up and coming rapper Wiz Khalifa has signed to Atlantic Records, ending a months long bidding war for his services. After grinding for years on the mixtape circuit, Wiz gained notoriety this year for his immensely popular mixtape Kush & Orange Juice. The ensuing buzz landed Wiz a spot on Rick Ross' remix to "Super High", and the eventual crown as MTV's "Hottest Breakthrough MC 2010" last week.

Wiz's debut album is expected to drop early next year, but in the meantime he's about to kick off a nationwide 'Waken Baken' tour. You can check out the dates below.
