Words by Gabriel Spadaccini
Two years later, the rap heavyweight alliance returned in full force for another straight banger on ‘No New Friends’. Say what you will about DJ Khaled, but he consistently lives up to his claims – and curating club anthems is one area where he’s found enormous success.
Now, Khaled has dropped the first single from his upcoming album Major Key tomorrow on Beats 1 with Zane Lowe. “The vocals is finally in,” the Miami don wrote on Instagram yesterday – and it turns out they’re from the none other than Champagne Papi himself. With heavy nods to Too $hort and upbeat production, ‘For Free’ just sounds like summer. Speaking on the track, Khaled said “Every hustler gonna sing word for word. Every female gonna sing word for word.”
While Major Key still doesn’t have a release date, Khaled’s ninth studio album is slated to feature Drake, Chris Brown, Big Sean, and Lil Wayne, with rumors that Jay Z and Future could also make appearances. You can listen to the previous Khaled & Drizzy collaborations below:
