Wiz Khalifa makes history by releasing a song on an Oreo cookie
by Samantha Maine
Wiz Khalifa has teamed up with his son Sebastien to release a song on an Oreo cookie.
The rapper’s collaboration with the cookie giant is part of an advertisement set to screen during the Grammys – one of the most watched music events of the year.
The campaign, titled ‘Stay Playful’, will be using a kind of creative technology that will see the biscuit brand release a limited-edition Music Box that will be able to play tunes straight from an Oreo cookie.
The cookie apparently works just like a record – you place an Oreo cookie on the Music Box, slide the record arm in place and the song plays. That particular song will be a new track from the American rapper. You can see a teaser of the commercial below.
“Releasing a song on a cookie is crazy. Because it’s like technology has been so advanced these days and to incorporate something that is really really classic and then bring it up to date with the technology… it’s good for the kids, it’s good for everybody but it’s also just super cool – like it’s fun to see,” Khalifa told Hot New Hip Hop.
