Major Key

About

In 2015, DJ Khaled found himself ascending from acclaimed rap producer and cultural presence to a global superstar and social media phenom. It was a persona that he began honing in preparation for his 2016 album, <i>Major Key</i>, and it helped him drop projects that would spend weeks atop the chart. Everything DJ Khaled has become was introduced and solidified on <i>Major Key</i>. Even the title itself was ushered in by Khaled on the social media sessions that helped propel him from producer to everywhere-at-once icon. Back when Khaled began his worldwide domination in 2015, he became a sensation on social, sharing his self-described “keys to succe,” which offered insight into how he turned himself into rap’s most in-demand personality and producer. It informs the thematic thrust of the album, which finds Khaled and his massive list of collaborators explaining how they built themselves up into self-sustaining rap magnate. .
