While Wiz Khalifa proudly boasts of his two-year-old son Sebastian Taylor Thomaz with hot trot American model Amber Rose, it is the newly appointed dad, Future, that is in bliss.

Future recently welcomed son, Future Zahir Wilburn, on Monday, May 19, with recording artiste and actress fiancé, Ciara. Wiz Khalifa and Future are two of the international headliners for the 22nd staging of Reggae Sumfest. Taking on International Nights I and II, respectively, the new fathers are no strangers to our ears. Nominated this year for the Best Rap/Sung Collaboration Grammy Award, Wiz Khalifa boasts popular hits Black n Yellow, Roll Up, Young Wild and Free, and most recently, We Dem Boyz.

Future, who is no stranger to the Caribbean audience, recently released his third album titled Honest, which features collaborations from international rappers Kanye West, Drake, and Sumfest feature performer Wiz Khalifa. His song, Turn on the Lights, saturated the local airwaves in 2013, and the same can be said for new tracks I Won, featuring Kanye West and Honest.

With these two ready to conquer the western city, this year's staging of Reggae Sumfest is expected to go down in history as another must-see performance. The festival is scheduled to take place at Catherine Hall in Montego Bay from July 13-19.
