Hip-Hop Albums of the Year

06 August, 2022

DJ Khaled — Khaled Khaled


This is another step backwards for Khaled. Album number twelve. In fifteen years. There's no controversy, it's first, it's platinum. Epic does its job, not like two years before — according to Khaled. This guy has been on the charts since he started. "Thankful" is a good start, for his standards. Then there's a mix of singers and rappers in twelve tracks that sound very similar, they are among the worst in his discography. I don't know how you can put Nas and Jay-Z on a track (Beyoncé says "hey" for a moment, and it's still a thousand times better than the rest of DJ Khaled's discography) and still make one of the worst albums of the year. The best track is the last one, not only because it "frees you" from this disaster, it's an epic track with reggae icons such as Buju Banton, Bounty Killer, Capleton and Barrington Levy, dominating everything that preceded it. 2/10.
