DJ KHALED FINALLY GETS HIS MAN - JAY-Z TO APPEAR ON LEAD SINGLE

DJ Khaled is number one when it comes to collabs and features.

The Def Jam and We The Best top dog has been grinding and owning the summer, as he puts it, for seven years now.

From way back in 2006, Listen...The Album all the way through to Suffering From Success the anthems and hits in the game of hip-hop have largely belonged to Khaled and his work.
The first drop in 06

While there has always been talk of his success and talent being 'limited', we are not just speaking of someone grabbing the hottest rap artists and chucking them on a beat.

This is timed artistry, mulling over flows, sounds, beats, themes and samples, before even deciding which avenue of the game needs to get involved.

He recently declared to MTV 'Every summer is mine' - and he is damn right, though also coming through in that interview was passion for one thing.

One thing only that has omitted Khaled's work to now, some big statement, a marquee name, an announcement to shut things down.

"And guess what, I just left Marcy Projects."

"I got Jay-Z, Shawn Carter, I got Hova on my first single."

Proceeding to slam his mic to the floor.  Yea, he did that.

One of the studio seshes

You take your Nasir Jones, you take Ye, Lil Wayne, Rozay or Drizzy or whoever in this day and age's game and no one name is carrying wait like Hov's - it's almost mad to think it's a first for the number one artist-grabber.

Look, we're not saying Khaled is the most humble, some of the chanting on his records is monstrous, but if it's such a big deal for him, it's a big deal for hip-hop.
I'm On One went fully PLAT

It's an unchecked box, his mission to do it for the streets, for the people, for the game wouldn't be complete without this feature.

So what else do we know as yet?

A big fat zilch.

One thing we can bank on, before this news, now it has dropped and leading into the sun-blared rays of the next few months..






"IT'S GONNA BE EIGHT SUMMERS, SUMMER IS MINE MAN."


UPDATE

So the big DJ himself dropped an extra vid (I'll link it underneath), the single is called 'They Don't Love You No More'.

Skip right to the end for that, or you got 3 minutes of 'inspirational' Khaled-ness, strolling around Marcy
projects, and how his fans expect him to keep being greater, and keep being great.

This is a start.
