Much like Rick Ross, every year, DJ Khaled intends to release an album full of new material. For six summers, DJ Khaled has put out a series of albums, all of which have reached new heights. Four years ago, DJ Khaled assumed his position as one of the forces in the game.
Early this year, DJ Khaled revealed he was working on his sixth studio album, Kiss the Ring. The album has received much promotion over the past few months, as the first single was released at the start of the summer. Teaming up with his frequent collaborators, Lil Wayne and Rick Ross, he also featured Nicki Minaj on “Take it to the Head.”
The song went on to become a major hit and served as the launch for the latest album from DJ Khaled. Each year, DJ Khaled features many of the biggest names in hip hop, along with promising newcomers on his projects.
