The album was executive-produced by Asahd and Aalam Khaled, the musician’s children. The young pair also appear on the album cover alongside DJ Khaled. While he has yet to reveal the official tracklist, Khaled recently confirmed that Meek Mill, Justin Bieber, and Justin Timberlake have contributed vocals to the album.
DJ Khaled teased the album on Instagram earlier this week in a one-minute video. In the clip, the musician appears in front of a choir and preaches about his new music. “Khaled Khaled is coming,” he says in the video. “It’s special. I worked my whole career, I worked my whole life, and I’m just getting started.”
He added, “Be great but be grateful. And remember, the light is love and God is love. When it’s dark, be the sun. I am Khaled Khaled, child of God.”
DJ Khaled’s last album, Father of Asahd, came out in 2019. In December of 2020, he announced the launch of a CBD company.
