[Hip-Hop] DJ Khaled – They Don’t Love You No More (Feat. Jay Z, Rick Ross, Meek Mill & French Montana)

DJ KHALED
THEY DONT LOVE YOU NO MORE FT. JAY Z, RICK ROSS, MEEK MILL, FRENCH MONTANA

Wanna know how I can usually tell it’s nearly summer? Well, the weather is usually a good clue (maybe not this year though), but my main barometer typically comes in the form of DJ Khaled spewing at me to listen to another one of his obligatory street anthems. Despite how you feel about his persona or talents, it’s hard to argue that Khaled’s been a mainstay on summer radio for the last eight years or so.

Ever the man of many words (but a limited vocabulary), Khaled recently expressed his excitement at finally landing Jay Z on the lead single for his upcoming album. Also featuring the star studded lineup of Meek Mill, Rick Ross and French Montana, “They Don’t Love You No More” is something of a banger, and outside of the rather dreadful auto-tuned chorus, a hard hitting number with some incredibly slick verses. While Meek Mill opens the track with unbounded energy, his MMG boss sweeps in with some mean bars of his own, with Hov handling clean up duties (and possibly firing some shots back at Drake in the process).

There’s no word yet on a release date for Khaled’s next album, but if there’s one thing that we’re certain of, it’s that we’ve got a very interesting summer ahead of us.

[Hip-Hop] DJ Khaled – Hell’s Kitchen (Feat. J. Cole & Bas)

Hells Kitchen Feat. J. Cole & Bas

DJ Khaled‘s Suffering From Success has sprung a leak recently, with new tracks dropping left and right. While we can’t say we’re too thrilled with what we’ve heard from the project, this new burner featuring Dreamvillains J. Cole and Bas is certainly an unexpected treat. Over a beat we assume he cooked up himself, “Hell’s Kitchen” features the Born Sinner displaying an edge we would’ve really liked to have heard more of on his last album. Check out the single above and make sure to catch Cole on the remaining dates of his What Dreams May Come Tour, alongside Wale. Khaled’s Suffering From Success drops next week on October 22nd.

[Hip-Hop] Ace Hood – Bugatti (Remix) (Feat. Wiz Khalifa, T.I., Meek Mill, French Montana, 2 Chainz, DJ Khaled & Birdman)

Have you ever had one of those mornings where you wake up and have trouble remembering the events that transpired the night before? Then, as you examine your surroundings, you realize you’re sitting in a brand new Bugatti? Yeah, good times. If you haven’t ever had the pleasure of such an experience (and if that’s the case, what’s wrong with you?), we’ve got a few fellas here who’d love to describe what it feels like. Featuring the likes of Meek Mill, T.I., Wiz Khalifa, Birdman, French Montana, 2 Chainz, Future and of course, DJ Khaled, the star studded remix to Ace Hood‘s hit single “Bugatti” goes even harder than the original. The first half of the song is particularly strong, with energetic verses from Ace, Meek and Tip, while the second half starts to fall flat. In the end though, we’re left with a new heater from Ace Hood, and that’s all that matters. Grab the free download for yourself above, and stay tuned for Ace’s upcoming album, Trials & Tribulations which is set for release on July 16th.

[NEW] DJ Khaled – No New Friends (Feat. Drake, Rick Ross & Lil Wayne) (Prod. Boi-1da & Noah “40” Shebib)

DJ Khaled
No New Friends (SFTB Remix) Feat. Drake, Rick Ross & Lil Wayne

Soundcloud

Just as promised, DJ Khaled and company have dropped their new single for the summer, “No New Friends.” Appropriately enough, the song features Khaled’s favorite trio of Drake, Rick Ross and Lil Wayne. Serving as the first release from Khaled’s upcoming album, Suffering From Success, the track is an absolute banger, just as you might expect. Say what you want, about Khaled, but he knows how to produce a hit (even if he really doesn’t produce them).

This was originally crafted as a “Started From The Bottom” remix, and if you listen closely, you can hear elements of the original in the background. However, Drake decided to hand it over to Khaled to use for an entirely different purpose. ~~We’ve got the Funk Flex bombed radio rip for now, but we’ll be sure to update you with the official version whenever it drops.~~

UPDATE: Officially relieved of all tags. Thank you ~~Based God~~ Drizzy.

[Hip-Hop] DJ Khaled – They Ready Feat. J. Cole, Big K.R.I.T. & Kendrick Lamar (Prod. J. Cole)

Posted by Baseer Ahmad - August 16, 2012

While the last DJ Khaled song focused on hip-hop’s past and the careers of two of its most celebrated artists, this one’s premise is set squarely on the future. The aptly named “They Ready” features arguably the three best up and coming names in hip-hop: J. Cole, Big K.R.I.T., and Kendrick Lamar. The song is produced by J. Cole himself and features all three of the young emcees stepping up to the mic and delivering their bars in double time, producing enough energy to power at least two small villages for weeks. It’s safe to say this is pretty unique for a DJ Khaled track, and it actually had me excited for the direction of his latest album, Kiss The Ring. Unfortunately though, this song is probably the exception, and not the rule. Still, this has the potential to be one of his most potent compilations to date.

Look for Kiss The Ring in stores August 21st, and make sure to take a listen to two other recently released tracks from the album down below.

[Hip-Hop] DJ Khaled – Hip-Hop Feat. Nas, Scarface & DJ Premier (Prod. J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League)

Posted by Baseer Ahmad - August 10, 2012

When you think of the word “hip-hop,” DJ Khaled is not often the name that first comes to mind. Conversely, Khaled is what many would often associate with the antithesis of “true” hip-hop and all that is wrong with the genre right now. Whatever your feelings about Khaled and his contributions to the game, you have to give him props for the special group he’s been able to assemble here. With legends Nas and Scarface blessing the mic and DJ Premier and J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League handling the boards, it’s easy for the listener to be reverted back to the glory days of the 90’s. Both emcees allude to the deceptive and fickle companion that hip hop can be, reflecting on their experiences over the last twenty some odd years, including both the riches of the highs and the struggles of the lows. It’s an interesting take on the subject, and provides us great insight on the rap careers of two of the greatest to ever grace the mic.

If you’re interested in seeing the process that went behind crafting this wonderful track, peep the “Making Of Hip Hop” video after the jump, and if you enjoyed this, and want to listen to some more heavyweight collaborations, make sure to cop DJ Khaled’s latest project, Kiss The Ring, on August 21st.

[Dubstep] DJ Khaled Ft Drake, Lil Wayne – I’m On One (KillaGraham Remix)

Posted by James pagliuca - August 5, 2011

KillaGraham just dropped this massive remix of Drake’s I’m On One, turning a standard Top 40 hip hop song into a total dubstep banger. Relatively new to the dubstep scene, KillaGraham is quickly demonstrating his fearsome musical talent with track after track of fat bass, trippy synth and catchy melodies that you can vibe, dance, or straight up rage to. He’s got a bunch of free downloads on his Soundcloud, all of which are just as dirty as this new remix, so there’s no excuse not to grab this stuff and start groovin.
