DJ Khaled has dropped two new singles, “You Remind Me” and “Brother.” The songs are both from his upcoming album , Aalam of God, his first LP in three years.

“You Remind Me” is an upbeat collaboration with Vybz Kartel, Buju Banton, Mavado, Bounty Killer, Rorystonelove, and Kaylan Arnold, who also appear in the music video for the track.

The more reflective “Brother” sees DJ Khaled teaming up with Post Malone and YoungBoy Never Broke Again.

DJ Khaled has been teasing Aalam of God, his 14th studio album, since earlier this year. In February, the Miami producer released a seven-minute trailer for the LP, which featured actor Mark Wahlberg and confirmed it would include collaborations with Drake and Rihanna. The album does not yet have a release date, but a press release notes that “it may have been three years, but Khaled has been quietly plotting his next move and assembling what promises to be the definitive album of his career so far with Aalam of God.”

Also in February, DJ Khaled joined Cardi B, Natania, and Subhi for “Higher Love,” which appeared on the soundtrack to the new Smurfs movie. DJ Khaled’s last album, God Did, arrived in 2022. It was nominated for five Grammys, including Best Rap Album and Song of the Year for “God Did,” which featured Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, John Legend, and Fridayy.

 

There is no question that Clipse’s Let God Sort Em Out made a serious impact and continues to hold weight. The project showed that hip hop is not limited by age and proved that a long-awaited return can still land in a major way regardless of the time away.

If you need a reminder, the Virginia duo’s fourth studio album debuted comfortably within the top five of the Hot 200. It secured the number four position and moved an impressive 118,000 units in its first week.

On top of that, it picked up a win at this year’s Grammys, earning Best Rap Performance for “Chains & Whips.” The album also received four additional nominations, including Best Music Video, Rap Album, and Album of the Year.

It is hard to believe the project will officially hit its one year mark this summer on July 11. Even so, Pusha T is making it clear that both supporters and critics should not be overlooking it anytime soon.

While performing at Coachella yesterday, King Push told the crowd that LGSEO still sits at the top, regardless of genre.

He said, “‘Let God Sort Em Out’ is still the album of the motherfckin year. Whole new year, still album of the year,” per Kurrco. “Album of the motherfcking year until we drop again. We don't care who dropping. It don't matter.”

That is a strong statement for obvious reasons, especially considering the recent claims surrounding Push himself.

Over the same weekend, hip hop social media lit up after several alleged reference tracks connected to Quentin Miller and Push began circulating. Three tracks surfaced in total, but one that drew the most attention was an alleged record titled “Real Gon’ Come.” It is said to come from the DAYTONA era, around 2017 to 2018.

The situation gained traction because fans remember the past tension between Drake and Pusha T before Drake’s clash with Kendrick Lamar. During that feud, Pusha accused Drake of using ghostwriters on tracks like “Infrared,” which appears on DAYTONA. On that song, he raps, “The bigger question is how the Russians did it /
It was written like Nas, but it came from Quentin.”

Reactions have been mixed. Some people argue it is not a major issue since Miller’s alleged contributions were limited to hooks. Others point out that the songs were never officially released, so they see no real problem. Meanwhile, critics view it as clear hypocrisy on Pusha T’s part, a perspective that DJ Akademiks has also supported.
