DJ Khaled is taking an ambitious approach to his upcoming album, Aalam of God. In a teaser trailer, which runs for seven minutes, Khaled delivers a cinematic mini-film with high-stakes action. The trailer stars Mark Wahlberg and Anthony Ramos, featuring a storyline that resembles the fast-paced action of recent Fast & Furious films. Wahlberg plays the antagonist, attempting to steal Khaled’s album files, leading to chase scenes and dramatic stunts.
The plot reveals that Wahlberg’s character is after the files due to the potential high-profile collaborations on the album. A key moment features Wahlberg’s character discussing the value of Khaled’s work, including two tracks with Drake and the possibility of a rare Jay-Z feature. Khaled, however, manages to escape the danger with Ramos and evades Wahlberg’s goons. They eventually meet at a restaurant to discuss their next move.
As the story unfolds, Ramos’s character appears to be working with Khaled, but it is soon revealed that he is also double-crossing him. Following Wahlberg’s orders, Ramos tries to retrieve the album files from Khaled by force, even holding him at gunpoint. Khaled uses his skills to talk Ramos down, leaving the restaurant with a final message: “Win with us or watch us win.” He also adds a personal touch, reminding Ramos to listen to the album in order, from start to finish.
A snippet from Aalam of God plays in the background as Khaled heads toward a private jet, where he continues his instructions. He asks his team to send a track to Rihanna, further teasing the album’s star-studded lineup. Khaled mentions that Drake is involved, and expresses his excitement about working with both Drake and Rihanna, hinting that their collaboration is a major highlight of the project.
Fans can expect Aalam of God to drop later this year, marking Khaled’s first full album since 2022’s GOD DID. The trailer suggests the album will be another packed release with significant collaborations.
