O.N.I.F.C. is the fourth studio album by American rapper Wiz Khalifa. The album was released on December 4, 2012, by Atlantic Records and Rostrum Records. The album's title was inspired by the album H.N.I.C. by Prodigy of Mobb Deep, and is an initialism for "Only Nigga In First Class". Upon release, O.N.I.F.C. received generally mixed reviews from contemporary music critics and debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 selling 148,000 copies in its first week.
Guests on the album include 2 Chainz, Akon, Berner, Cam'ron, Courtney Noelle, Juicy J, Chevy Woods, Iamsu!, Lola Monroe,Pharrell, Problem, Tuki Carter, The Weeknd, and Amber Rose. Producers involved in the album include Cardo, Benny Blanco, Danja, I.D. Labs, Jim Jonsin, Pharrell Williams, Sledgren, Stargate and Pop Wansel. Fellow Pittsburgh-rapper Mac Miller has also recorded for the album, but it didn't make the cut. Wiz Khalifa announced on his Twitter account that he has a track in which he aims to collaborate with 50 Cent, making his guest appearance a possibility on the album. Wiz Khalifa released the track later, titled "Telescope" featuring the rapper. 50 Cent confirmed another track with him in an interview with the radio station, Power 106, which can be part of his upcoming project Street King Immortal or may be included in Wiz Khalifa's album but later turned into a free record. Wiz Khalifa has said Snoop Dogg, Mac Miller and Curren$y did not make the album due to records not being made in time and he had also talked to Drake and E-40 about being on the album.
