DJ Khaled albums are world-class factories of turn-up culture. Khaled’s fourth album, Victory, blew T-Pain’s vocal chords on “All I Do Is Win,” Khaled’s anthemic peak, though the Miami DJ would continue to churn out club and radio hits with Drake, Rick Ross, French Montana, and Meek Mill. His most glorious projects may be a couple of years behind us, but DJ Khaled’s crunk absurdity is everlasting, or at least until Instagram deletes his account.
While Khaled’s projects are driven by the hottest rappers and producers of the moment, his loud, blockbuster personality is a hip-hop marketing phenomenon unto itself, such that, at this point, it’s tough for us to distinguish his true, best self from his self-parody. I assume that he comes up with all those self-help declarative album titles in all due seriousness. We’ve ranked them, of course.
