He released his debut album, Show and Prove (Which people never heard of it), in 2006, and signed to Warner Bros the same people that made Looney Tunes. His Crazy Frog Ringtone-influenced single, "Say Hell Yeah Bitch! HA, HA, HA!", received Bubble Gum radio airplay but it flopped, charting on the Rhythmic Top 40 and Hot Rap Tracks charts in 2008. Khalifa parted with Warner Bros because they stop giving him weed money and released his second album, Deal or No Deal for Real, in November 2009. He released the mixtape Kush, Orange Juice, Cheese Eggs, and Turkey Bacon as a free download in April 2010; he then signed with Atlantic Records making that real money. He is also well known for his debut single for Atlantic, "Black and Yellow Pee", which peaked at number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. His debut album for the label, Rolling Raw Papers, was released on March 29, 2011.
