Major key alert! DJ Khaled is still the best at what he does. The We The Best head honcho just dropped his 12th album. Yes, his 12th album.
His latest release, titled Khaled Khaled, follows the winning formula of its predecessors. There are unexpected collaborations like “Sorry Not Sorry,” featuring Nas and Jay-Z. There’s the hard hitting posse cut “I Did It,” which features Megan Thee Stallion, Lil Baby, Post Malone and DaBaby. And of course there’s a hit song or two.
Both of Khaled Khaled’s Drake-assisted singles “Popstar” and “Greece” charted in the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Since dropping his first album, 2006’s Listennn… the Album, Khaled has continued to turn out projects featuring a who’s who in hip-hop and R&B. A certified hit-maker, Khaled has made a habit out of orchestrating timeless records. Singles featured on Khaled-produced projects have topped the Billboard Hot 100. Those singles have also broken records and won awards including a Grammy, an American Music Award, a MTV VMA, a Soul Train Music Award and a bunch of BET Awards.
In case you’ve forgotten why DJ Khaled is still the best, refresh your memory and look back at his 12 albums.
