NEW YORK, NY (KOCH Records) - DJ Khaled, Miami's DJ extraordinaire (who has the No 1 rated radio show in South Florida on WEDR/99 Jamz) is not just one of the most recognizable voices on Urban radio, he's also a much-sought after record producer best known for cooking up tracks for Young Jeezy, Trick Daddy,
Pitbull and of course, The Terror Squad. On June 6th, he'll get his chance to shine with the release of his debut album, "Listennn...The Album." Khaled was featured on the cover of the March 2006 issue of Ozone Magazine and will soon be seen on television in a multi-million dollar nationwide Pepsi campaign.
Khaled's debut album is set to feature a who's-who of the hip hop world including Trick Daddy, Fat Joe, Lil' Wayne, Paul Wall, Pitbull, Rick Ross, Christina Milian, The Game, Twista, Smitty, Juelz Santana, Akon, Nas, Fabolous and many more super-star artists yet to be announced.
DJ Khaled comments, "My album is a classic!!!! It's bringing unity back into hip hop!!!! I worked my whole life for this. I promise you I'm the future of hip hop!! I rep the people!"
Fat Joe adds, "DJ Khaled is the No 1 DJ on Planet Earth. His album is so incredible, and he takes so much pride and has so much passion when it comes to music and deejaying. The album is a classic. Lots of people have love for Khaled. We liked what KOCH Records has been doing and we thought it was the right fit to put out Khaled's album."
Although "Listennnn...The Album" is slated for a June 6th release, the first single, "Holla At Me," is close to 1,000 spins at Urban Radio. The incendiary track features Lil' Wayne, Fat Joe, Rick Ross, Pitbull & Paul Wall.
The video, shot on location in Miami, was directed by R. Malcolm Jones (Cassidy, Fat Joe, Eightball & MJG) and will World Premiere on MTV2's "Makes The Video" on April 11th at 10am & 5:00pm (Eastern Time).
