DJ Khaled’s playlisting skills will be showcased on ESPN’s Monday Night Football during the 2020 NFL season. The We The Best Music Group founder has landed a gig as the music curator for the longtime television franchise.
“I’m excited to collaborate with the NFL and ESPN again as we celebrate the return of the 2020 season,” Khaled said in a press release. “Last year was a movie, kicking off the Super Bowl in Miami and now I am providing the vibes for fans everywhere as a music curator for Monday Night Football. From working with ESPN in their creative campaign ‘READY FOR FOOTBALL’ to providing the soundtrack for the NFL season – this is going to be epic.”
According to ESPN, Khaled is selecting songs to “reflect the energy, intensity, and storylines” of the weekly matchups. The veteran Hip Hop executive’s music curation is scheduled to debut when the Baltimore Ravens play the Kansas City Chiefs on September 28.
“We’re incredibly excited to collaborate with DJ Khaled to curate music for Monday Night Football throughout the season,” ESPN’s Vice President of Sports Marketing Emeka Ofodile. “Music is one of the greatest tools we have to connect with fans, and the NFL on ESPN brand is a place to work with some of the best DJs and producers in the industry.
How Many Summers Are You Willing To Admit DJ Khaled Has Owned?
He added, “This curatorial role really resonated with audiences when we first introduced it with Diplo last year, and this year, we’re tapping into DJ Khaled’s talent and influence at the intersection of sports and music to provide this season’s soundtrack.”
Khaled’s curation will be featured in multiple spots throughout each game night. His song choices will play during promos, pregame show and live telecasts of five games. His Monday Night Football contributions include a celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month for the October 12 showdown between the Los Angeles Chargers and New Orleans Saints.
The new season of Monday Night Football premieres on September 14. The show’s 2020 opener is a doubleheader featuring the Pittsburgh Steelers versus New York Giants at 7 p.m. Eastern followed by the Denver Broncos versus Tennessee Titans.
This Fat Fraud just made ESPN’S stock prices drop significantly just with this announcement alone.
Music that reflects “HIS ENERGY” .. whelp then we’re gonna be getting a lot of Drake nut-huggery music mixed with Big Body Bacon Boy plugging his name at the expenses of other artists.
When you slob elite knob anything can happen!
This nigga don’t belong anywhere near Hip Hop…He belongs working at Shawarma King.
This Stupid Fat Arab probably thought they said caterer and he jumped all over the opportunity lol.
Cold as ice… Hahahahahaha
Damn some real losers in this comment section. Someone done made it from nothing to something and had positive energy always. And y’all on here hating? Ya lives must suck lol
Shut the f**k up, chubby chaser. He did nothing in the first place. He has no musical talent…no musical input, no production ability, no rapping skills, or even song writer. He’s an obnoxious loudmouth who’s only talent was sucking up to artist and screaming WE THE BEST…he hasn’t worked a hard day in his life. GTFOH with that BS. He’s a fat leech fraud of a DJ who can’t even actually DJ. We don’t call that success, that’s fraudulent faker but hip hop is full of them so I guess that’s acceptable.
Hahaha got’eem!
I could not have said it any better! Thank you sir!
Bring back the OG Hank Williams Jr. He was discriminated against! All because he said something about Hussein. The players say worse shit and disrespect our flag and police officers on 9/11! Fuck the NFL now they’re bringing one of the plane hijackers’ nephews into the mix.
If this dude had talent I would have no problem but he’s corny and overbearing and the music he promotes is garbage. Trap music is the lowest for of any rap music. I wish a real hip hop cats was in charge instead of a sheep that will promote terrible uneducated music.
