Music News: DJ Khaled Signs Deal With Epic Records, New Song With Future and Jay Z
DJ Khaled is known for his anthems over the years, and it sounds like he has another one on deck. In a new interview with Shade 45, popular producer Southside dished out some details on Khaled’s next single, which apparently features both Jay Z and Future. Though Southside didn’t go into details about when the song could drop, he did tease that it also includes production from Jake One and G-Coup. The news of a Khaled, Hov, and Future song doesn’t come as much of a surprise, especially since Jay is now managing Khaled through Roc Nation. It’s unclear when we’ll actually get to hear the song, but last week Future put up a picture of him and Khaled on Instagram and wrote “This one gone take the summer,” which appears to be a reference to the track.
Along with the news of the Jay and Future track, news also broke that Khaled’s WeTheBest label has officially singed a deal with Epic Records. Additionally, he formally announced that his next album will be titled Major Key. “We The Best Music/Epic. Those two brands are synonymous with quality music. Iconic music. LA Reid was the first executive to give We The Best Music an opportunity to distribute my music on a grand scale,” Khaled told Billboard.
The album will come right as Khaled’s popularity is as high as ever, not only due his continual bangers, but is emergence on Snapchat, where he has over 6 million followers. “The wait is over!!! My 9th album MAJOR KEY is the best album of my career and I do it all for my fans,” Khaled said. “Stay tuned for new singles alert!!! New artist alert!!!! I’m looking for you!!! It’s We The Best Music/Epic. The next chapter of success has begun.” Stay tuned for more details on the album in the near future, and watch Southside talk about the upcoming Khaled, Jay, and Future track below.
