Another one, another one. I'm about to put on my jewelry for this one. Major, major. We're talking that major. For me, I'm always going to put out love and positive energy. I'm only going to do that and the more love you put out, the more love you're gonna get back. DJ Khaled. I got the keys. keys, keys. I got the keys, keys, keys. I got the keys, keys, keys. I got the keys, keys, keys.
Young Hollywood, I got one word for you, Grateful. DJ Khaled just made an announcement here at the Beverly Hills Hotel that that is going to be the name of his tenth album. And we're going to sit down and find out what it's all about. I'm here to celebrate and stand in solidarity with a man who has done historic things time and time again. Khaled, what up, dude?
Young Hollywood. What up, man?
Tell us a little about what happened today.
Today, we had a big press conference. I wanted to bring everybody in the room. We live streamed from the Beverly Hills Hotel in LA Grammy Week. You know, I wanted to announce the name of my album. And everything top secret. You know, the keys. You know what I'm saying? We got to keep it off the record. But at the same time, I also wanted to say thank you. And I wanted to thank y'all. And that's why one of the reasons why I brought you in this room to thank y'all face to face because I know everybody's watching. The whole world's watching and listening at one time. Young Hollywood, all the hard, you know, reporters, media. Really, thank everybody, man. Like, you know, we're so busy hustling and so busy working. And so busy, you know, providing for our families, you know, sometimes we have to take a moment and embrace the blessings and say thank you. I want to thank all of y'all. So y'all give yourselves a round of applause. And coming in a fly suit. And feeling good. You know what I'm saying? Like
That's what I want to talk about. This is probably one of the most freshest cloth ever. I've ever seen you have. Brand new Jordans. Those are Jordans?
Those are Jordans. Pink Jordans, Don C collab with Jordan. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? So like it's just a vibe, man. Yeah.
Okay. And Khaled has has always been about access and about finding the walls and doors in our lives and and taking those doors and ripping those doors off the hinges. All right, so let's talk about the executive producer.
The executive producer is my son. And by the way, my son, Aas-Kaat, is the executive producer of my album. I'm very about that. He signed it off on everything with LA Reid. Our biggest blessing, my best friend. He's part of the whole project. We've been going over rollout. We went over this press conference. He might be young, but he really is very intelligent, smart, and responsive of everything when I talk to him. Right. You know what I'm saying? And I want him to embrace this greatness at an early age. And when he grows, because that's how my family raised me. They brought me around their work and their family and, you know what I mean, let me see things and, you know, see that, you know, hard work and when you grow up like that, you appreciate it and you become somebody, you know, that works hard for their family. One day, my son's going to have a family. Right. Yeah. One day he's going to take care of me, you know what I'm saying? So like, you know, support, man. And and and, you know, with the title, I think it's very appropriate that he be the boss of this album. So the title of my new album coming out this year. My best work ever on my mama and on my son and on everything I love. The title is Grateful.
Give us some of the reactions he was giving you with his face. Just expressions. When you were when you played him songs on this album or even when you came up with the album. He does Give us a little bit.
He does he does smiles. He does uh giggles. He does he makes his little baby noise and then sometimes he gets the serious face. Oh. And the serious face be on the the certain hard records. Like he'd be like and then he hit you with the
The one he's got is is like the super smash. Yes. No, I'm I'm honest. I'm I'm there. I'm there with you. Yes.
So it's like, you know, and I'm documenting as much as I can because I want him to see it. Right, right. When he grows up, you know what I mean? He's going to be laughing at that. He's going to be laughing at that. He's going to be reposting that. Throwback Thursdays. Yes, yes. Exactly.
I think the point of view that that he's made clear and been able to really translate to people is the power of love. The power of believing and the power of dreaming. And that's the way that it should go. And that man should be congratulated and we should applaud for him. We should applaud for him.
Saying God is the greatest. Just teamwork. You know what I mean? That's what it's about, man.
So these are the perks of going to a DJ Khaled announcement at the Beverly Hills Hotel. They give us gift bags. Let's check out and see what's inside these gift bags, David. We got an iPhone case. He's giving us iPhone cases. We'll give that to the lively fans of the world. This will not go to the lively fans of the world. Oh my gosh. Oh. The keys. This is the this is like the Bible right here. This is the DJ Khaled Bible. Everything you need to know about cloth, raisin Don's. Man, that's the Bible right there. We got cocoa butter. They. Talking about they. I don't know if you guys know what they are, but they are the haters of the world. Don't be a don't be a they. This is probably my favorite part. They didn't have extra large. I got a small. So I'm gonna have to give this away. I'm gonna have to auction this off at the Young Hollywood office. You're up for uh best rap album of the year.
The minute I got nominated for my Grammy, I went in the studio. I was already in the studio, but I really went in the studio saying, Grateful. Because I was so inspired. I'm grateful. I'm embracing the moment. Um, I'm inspired. I'm motivated and that's why I'm working on my new album.
What what who are you gonna thank? What what are you gonna go up there and thank? Let's put it in existence. When we win a Grammy, what are you gonna say?
We We won already because we've been nominated. But But But if we get the trophy, I can tell you this, it would be the most legendary speech in Grammy history. Yeah. I promise you that because I can't tell you at this moment 'cause it's gonna come from my heart. You know what I'm saying? But it's gonna be the most legendary. Yeah. Like legendary. Historic. A cloth talk that's on another level. Like legendary. Legendary. Legendary. You know? Yeah.
