He started with usual rap tunes, but his music evolved and is more pop based nowadays. “I want to change how people think about what a rapper can be. I started rapping on Tyga-type beats and now I’m making pop songs and still staying authentic“ Wiz explains further.
“Lied” simply means “song” in German and shows a more rockier side of his music. The song is driven by an uplifting beat with an impressive drum section and rhythm. Furthermore the song comes with a great vocal line and expresses Wiz’s feelings very natural and effortless. Listen to the song below.
