DJ Khaled has shared that his long-awaited 14th studio album — which will contain the two Drake songs he’s been teasing for over a year — will be released this year.
On Tuesday (February 4), the We The Best mogul dropped a cinematic trailer for the record, starring Anthony Ramos and Mark Wahlberg and co-directed by Khaled and Eif Rivera.

His caption indicated that the record will be titled Aalam of God (“Aalam” means “the world” in Arabic).
“This not my last album this my black album,” he wrote, in reference to JAY-Z‘s 2003 LP The Black Album, which he said at the time would be his last before retiring. Hov came back in 2006 with Kingdom Come.

The “two Drakes” idea dates back to September 2023.
During the first of two shows in on Drizzy’s Its All a Blur Tour on September 28 of that year, Drizzy recruited the Khaled to accompany him for his customary stage walk.
And in true DJ Khaled marketing fashion, he decided to bring a huge sign with him that read: “I have 2 Drake songs on my new album — coming 2024.”
“When you come out with the 6 God, you gotta go hard, ” the We The Best mogul said in a video he posted on Instagram showing Drake laughing beside him. “You can’t just come out. We ain’t playing with this!”

Khaled previously released two Drake collaborations simultaneously back in 2020 with “Popstar” and “Greece.”
Prior to that, Khaled had previously collaborated with Drake on songs such “No New Friends,” “I’m On One,” “Fed Up” and “For Free.” Drizzy last worked with the DJ on the 2017 track “To The Max,” which appeared on Khaled’s platinum-selling album Grateful.
