DJ Khaled has revealed that JAY-Z picked out the cover art for his upcoming thirteenth studio album, God Did which arrives on Friday (August 26).
The We The Best boss made the revelation during a recent video interview with Billboard‘s deputy director of Hip Hop and R&B Carl Lamarre. According to Khaled, he stuck to the same formula in having Hov choose a cover out of two options while also revealing the Brooklyn rap legend thinks God Did is his best album.
“I am the biggest JAY-Z fan, and I actually let him pick my album cover. I always give him like two cover options and see which one he would pick, and I did it again on this album,” Khaled said. “After I got done playing it, he pulled me aside and said, ‘Yo this is your best album.’ JAY-Z, I love you, and you know that.”
DJ Khaled unleashed the cover art earlier this week on social media, showing his face emblazoned across the front with a tear of joy falling from his eye.
“VGOD DID OFFICIAL ALBUM COVER,” he wrote. “The tear represents tears of joy from God’s blessings GOD, I LOVE U SO MUCH! ???? ?????? ?? ?? ???????? ?? ???? ???, ?? ???? ? ????? ??? ??? ??? ?????? ?? Thank you god for blessing my family, my friends and my fans. When nobody believed, YOU DID! I praise you daily. We’re here to do GODS WORK!!”
In addition to helping pick out the cover, JAY-Z is one of the All-Star names featured on the album, and his contribution has been receiving a lot of buzz. Earlier this month, DJ Khaled shared a photo of his startling reaction to hearing JAY-Z’s verse, along with a screenshot of himself on FaceTime with an equally stunned Young Guru and Roc Nation executive/photographer Lenny “Kodak Lens” Santiago.
Young Guru pushed the excitement even higher by tweeting, “HOV is the greatest of all time. This can’t be debated anymore!!!”
Lenny S., meanwhile, shared a photo on Instagram of Hov at Jungle City Studios, the storied NYC studio where he and others like Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar and Rihanna have recorded in the past.
“If you’re a real Artist you know exactly where this is and you know exactly what’s happening,” he wrote in the caption. “@djkhaled @youngguru763 The BEST to ever do this shit!!!!”
DJ Khaled Says He Would Smoke Everybody In Verzuz Battle: 'I'mma Never Back Down On That Talk'
DJ Khaled is swinging for the fences by calling on the big guns for his album. He revealed the track list this week that features Drake, Kanye West, Eminem, Travis Scott, Future, SZA, Lil Baby, Lil Wayne, 21 Savage, Don Toliver, Juice WRLD, Jadakiss, Latto, City Girls, Kodak Black, Quavo, Rick Ross and more.
It’s another album that’ll be get beat on the billboard chart by another gay artist and he’ll cry about it like he did last time too lol.
It’s because Tyler used bots to heavily inflate his numbers where as dj khaled’s sales were organic
Nothing with DJ Khaled is organic LMAO!!!! GTFOH That fat fraud is nothing but a loud mouth groupie. He doesn’t do anything musically at all. He honestly hasn’t produced a record since 2008, seriously look it up. Check the production credits. He has other people produce for him and he takes credit for it just like Diddy does. He steals their work. Tyler,The Creator actually is a rapper and a producer. I don’t like his music personally but he does have much more credibility and talent than that fat fraud. I don’t care about his personal preferences but he’s still more versatile of a producer than DJ Khaled would ever be.
Dj Khaled brings producers and artists together and has the ability to turn highly expensive songs into cheap ones. That is true talent.
Stop, your just embarrassing yourself. He will never be considered a real producer like DJ Premier, Hit-Boy, Timbaland, Dr Dre, DJ QUIK, or even Ye.
Dj Khaled is basically the next quincy Jones. He makes bopping music for everyone to listen to. Those other producers fell the fuck off
Quincy Jones would bitch slap the shit out of you and DJ Khaled for even saying that. He will never and I mean “NEVER” be considered a real producer.
Those other producers are legends, Khaled isn’t even on DJ Paul’s level yet as far as accolades.
Basura
Absolute Audio Diarrhea
You know you’re an ugly mofo when your face is being sold as a Halloween mask by itself. You actually give little kids nightmares LMAO!!! COME HERE, KIDS!!! WE THE BEST!!! WE TAKING OVER!!! ANOTHER AND ANOTHER ONE!! Kids are going to needs decades of therapy after experiencing that. Please stop it already.
JAY-Z even said this was my best album after i paid him a grip to sign a prepared statement that said exactly that – DJ Khaled
Homey, your best album is still the worst album of all time. Give up on your sad dreams, mentally disabled fat man.
Them shitlocks are eating what’s left of Jigga’s brain cells so he’s no longer able to think straight anymore so he’s be lost to us since they’ve been planted so his sense of judgement is s definitely gone. Khaled been taking advantage of this fact and using Jigga’s star power to boost his ego while also trying to bolster his dismal sales by pulling in the pitty fans of Jay-Z into buying his music thinking that they’re going to get the old Jigga back but instead get treated to an album full of a screaming Fat Arab Guy who just robbed you of your 15 dollars and now thinks he’s 100X better than everyone else because of it. It’s why nobody support his Khaled’s music
Quit hating on jay Z. NAS is the one that’s falling off
Not hating on Jay-Z, just speaking the truth but why are you bashing Nas so much for no reason. It makes no sense whatsoever. I think you might have a hard-on for Jay-Z. If you really like him that much then why don’t you join the CocNation fan club like the rest of the fruits.
Damn, you got Jigga’s entire ball sack in your mouth and still have the ability to type at the same time. Now that’s talent.
Damn I totally forgot about this King Hov troll lmfao
Khaled certainly does far more than your broke ass will ever do
What, steal other artist’s work and extorting then by forcing other artist to record songs by threatening to sit on them if they don’t. Being an intolerable fat insufferable obnoxious asshole. Yeah, he has done more than I care to and would ever want to do to be a douchebag.
These artists give him their songs and features at a huge discount just by being a great friend and motivational speaker. He didn’t steal anything.
Ok, keep telling yourself that.
By “doing more” you mean ‘eating more” yes that fucking whale eats a lot more than me.
He’s exercising heavily too.
STFU, you trans H03V0 troll. Khaled has been on a diet for 20 years and still hasn’t lost any weight. In fact, his head has gotten bigger.
Khaled and Vlad both examples of what’s wrong with this industry.
Troll move by HOV lol bet you Jay laughed about it later
nope not giving a morbidly obese arab douchebag who thinks producing is yelling his name over some stupid shit he didn’t have a hand in creating any of my money. for a laugh go on youtube and search dj khaled dancing video game awards. you’re welcome
That was funny that drunk chick who posted a little video with fake Khalid on her Ig
Lies
if there’s a god, you know what that god thinks about money; look who they gave all the fuckin money to
Khaled sucks donkey ass
GET OFF MY DICK PLEASE. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
You don’t have one, Beyonce owns it now
My farts have better musical quality and talent than DJ Khaled and they smell better too.
The album art looks like an iPhone photo and some Microsoft Word clip art text. So bad.
