Career
200508: Early mixtapes and Show and Prove
Rostrum Records president Benjy Grinberg first heard about Wiz Khalifa in 2004 when the rapper's contribution to a mixtape of various new Pittsburgh artists
attracted his interest.When Grinberg finally met the 16-year-old artist, he immediately decided he wanted to work with him, later telling HitQuarters: "Even though he
wasn't all the way developed you could just tell that he was a diamond in the rough, and that with some polishing, guidance and backing he could become something
special."Khalifa signed to the label shortly after and began a seven year period of artist development.
Khalifa released his first mixtape, Prince of the City: Welcome to Pistolvania, in 2005. The mixtape paved the way for his first full length album entitled Show and
Prove in 2006
