DJ Khaled has released his 11th studio album, Father of Asahd.
Pushing the album a week up from it’s original release day, May 25, Khaled took to social media on Wednesday, May 15, a heartfelt message as to why he did not promote the album the way fans had expect him too.
With the death of his dear friend, Nipsey Hussle, the We The Best Music curator vowed to preserve Hussle’s mission alongside his co-writers, producers and label partners by “donating 100% of all our proceeds from “Higher” to Nipsey’s children, Emani and Kross.”
“Higher” is the lead single off of Father of Asahd, which features Hussle and John Legend. The video for the single was shot just days before Hussle was murdered.
Father of Asahd features contributions from Jay Z, Cardi B, Chris Brown, Post Malone, Rick Ross, Future, Lil Wayne, Lil Baby, Gunna, Chance The Rapper, SZA, Big Sean, Beyonce and more.

Marking a year since the release of his project, Before The Tour Bus 2, C. Wells returns from hiatus with a brand new record titled, “The Comeback.”
Over the NoFugazi Beats-produced track, the Lynn native address those who think his life has changed since being featured Jamn 94.5 “Launchpad” with E Dubble, how he’s learned to expand since the start of the pandemic, being credited in the Museum of Fine Arts’ Basquiat exhibit, minding his business, naysayers needing a favor and more.
I’m upset I didn’t catch this on time for MASS. Mondays. The last time we heard from Messy Money Sav was a year ago alongside Brandon James for the “Buddy Remix” visual. Last week, the first lady of Rebel Mafia Global Music Group returned with her first record of 2021 titled, “Party.”
Shot by FNSFilms, Sav lets us know how she gets down when you get invited to one of her turn-ups. Are you ready to party?
Last May, TeaMarrr signed her debut album, Before I Spill Myself. Being signed to Issa Rae’s Raedio imprint via Atlanta, TeaMarr treats us to ten tracks with contributions from D Smoke, SiR and Rapsody.
To start the new year off, TeaMarr delivers the official video to the project cut, “Tick.” Though SiR doesn’t appear in the video, TeaMarr gives a noir cinematic visual, playing a detective, who seduces her culprit, Insecure’s Sarunas J Jackson.
Watch how it all plays out in the Yvan Ray Fine-directed clip above.
