DJ Khaled has confirmed that his 14th studio album, Aalam of God, will be released this year. The album will include two highly anticipated tracks with Drake, teased for over a year.
Khaled dropped a cinematic trailer for the album, co-directed by him and Eif Rivera, starring Anthony Ramos and Mark Wahlberg. The album title, Aalam of God, is Arabic for “the world.”
In a post, Khaled referred to the album as his “black album,” a nod to Jay-Z’s 2003 LP The Black Album, which Jay-Z used to announce his temporary retirement before returning in 2006.
Khaled also hinted at a possible collaboration with Rihanna, writing, “send that record over to @badgalriri.”
The “two Drakes” reference goes back to September 2023, when Khaled joined Drake onstage during the It’s All a Blur tour and shared that his album would feature two tracks with the artist.
Khaled and Drake previously collaborated on hits like “Popstar,” “Greece,” “No New Friends,” and “For Free.” Their last collaboration was the 2017 track “To The Max” from Khaled’s Grateful album.
