JAY-Z’s appearance on DJ Khaled’s new album will only solidify his status as the “greatest of all time” — according to his longtime engineer Young Guru.
On Monday (August 1), Khaled confirmed in a typically hyped-up Instagram post that he’s secured a collaboration with Hov for his upcoming 13th studio album God Did.
The We The Best boss shared a photo of his astonished 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.
“HOV DID!!! HOV VOCALS IS IN! WOW,” Khaled wrote in the caption. “WOW .. #HOVDID #GODDID ALBUM COMING SOON !!!!!! @wethebestmusic @rocnation @kodaklens @youngguru763 !!!!!!!!!! HOV LOVE FOREVER BROTHER !!!!!!!!WOW! PLEASE SWIPE ! SO U YOU KNOW !!!!!!!!”
Young Guru further fueled excitement by tweeting, “HOV is the greatest of all time. This can’t be debated anymore!!!”
Lenny S., meanwhile, posted a photo on Instagram of the Marcy Projects mogul 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!!!!”
JAY-Z’s appearance on God Did isn’t all that surprising considering he’s been a mainstay on DJ Khaled albums since 2015, guesting on tracks such as “They Don’t Love You No More,” “I Got the Keys” and “Shining.” Most recently, he appeared alongside Nas and James Fauntleroy on “Sorry Not Sorry,” from last year’s Khaled Khaled.
Khaled hinted at landing another JAY-Z collaboration when he played his upcoming album for the Roc Nation founder in Miami last month. The Brooklyn native also showed up to support Khaled at his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony alongside Diddy and Fat Joe in April.

JAY-Z is just one of many big names set to appear on God Did. DJ Khaled recently announced an upcoming single with Drake and Lil Baby, while collaborations with Future, 21 Savage, Lil Durk, Gunna, Quavo and more have also been teased.
With DJ Khaled’s album rollout in full swing, expect a release date, tracklist and cover art for God Did to be revealed soon.
He’s the best because he’s their boss….2pac is still best, the one and only!
Jay Z is nobody’s boss now shut the hell up
Dont make me pimp slap your mom like Will did Chris!
Jayz ain’t better than BIG or PAC that’s just facts
You do know that multiple people can shine at once right?
Multiple people can’t carry the GOAT moniker at once though.
AM I A FUCKING JOKE TO YOU!?!!?!?
“I embrace y’all with napalm,
Blows up, no guts, left chest, face gone.”
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. But if you think Jay is the GOAT, your opinion is trash.
Read my username battyboy
You love you some Gay-Z and CocNation, fruitcake.
YE is actually the GOAT
HELL NO. HE HASN’T HAD A HOT ALBUM IN 12 YEARS.
even tho Nas would wrap jay up like tornado. The only real reason all the ” slave ” Wrappers dig jay is because of his money and connect. lyrical hes good but Nas is King of Hiphop
The real issue here is Khaled. Why cant he just go away!
NOT THE BIGGEST JAY Z FAN BUT I REALLY CAN’T ARGUE WITH ANYONE WHO FEELS HE IS THE GREATEST. WHILE HIS MUSIC DOESN’T REALLY STAND THE TEST THE TIME FOR ME PERSONALLY (OUTSIDE OF RD AND BP1), HE KNOWS HOW TO ROLL OUT AN ALBUM AND CAPITALIZE AT THAT MOMENT LIKE NONE OTHER.
4:44 is a classic
I LIKED 444 BUT CLASSIC IS A REACH. 4/5 FOR ME.
JADAKISS IS THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME.
I NEVER HEARD A WACK KISS VERSE.
NOBODY ELSE IN RAP CAN SAY THAT ABOUT TEMSELVES
TEMSELVES, (Themselves, how can you misspell this with automaticspellcheck is beyond me.) LOL!!! Jadakiss is in the Top 5 but Greatest Of All Time. (Also stop typing in all caps, only females and retards do that)
ONLY FEMALES CORRECT SPELLING AND TRY TO TELL GROWN MEN WHAT TO DO. FOH !
Only pathetic bitches like there own comments
I love Jadakiss but shut the hell up
Beyoncé kept his fame going somewhat. He woulda been another was been rapper from early 2k
Masta Ace and Krs 1 are somewhere laughing 3 times one from the clowns on this website, two for calling this man a goat and 3 he took Big l style
Masta Ace and KRS-1..LMMFAO.
you must be all of 60 years old!!
Masta Ace or KRS havent been relevant in 20 years, but youre putting them over Hov..FOH
So now relevance has to do with someone’s skill level in music making? Wow, I never knew Lil Nas X was a goat! Learn something new everyday I guess… and man. Cardi B must be one of the best in history! Masta ace is more talented than Jay, hands down.
KRS one is better than Jay watch your fucking mouth
Here you go. So negative
Grown ups name calling
Jay pays this site to keep his relevance. Ive never seen anyone get so much hype over a feature like Jay does and mostly its good or ok. Its nothing mind blowing to me. People act like when he drops a verse its Jesus Christ coming back. I feel like he is a master marketer. He knows how to build that curiosity amongst his fanbase. I give him that but too many people act like he is a God. I put him def top 10. GOAT is a reach.
Yep I’m sure the BILLION dollar man is concerned with what a hip hop site and their users think of his place in hip hop. Glad we discovered the truth!
You would be surprised. Jay always worried about his image
Jay-Z is not even top 10 let alone the goat smh.
HOV the greatest, hands down…
DJ Khaled does not hold the keys to hip-hop to say who is the go in who is in and Jay Z is not the greatest of all time. This man ain’t drop the album and 7000 years and Nas Killin him on a music level lyrically he already killed. Everything Jay Z does gets overhyped it’s getting fucking ridiculous there’s never been a rapper more overrated in spite of being great in his own right
I understand him not being the greatest for some or having an opinion on the subject cuz u walk erect with apposable thumbs with entitlement. Umm but what you said is ridiculous imo…. If i wasn’t working I might throw away 2 lines to tell you why but why waste breathe, in end closer to death brings me.
Not even close I’m Mike Jordan I play for the team I owned
