DJ Khaled's "Major Key" To Success

Sneak Hype

DJ Khaled isn't letting viral fame get to his head on his ninth studio album "Major Key." The Snapchat star rose to fame with his hit anthems like 2010's "All I Do Is Win" and 2011's "I'm On One". Now DJ Khaled is taking over Snapchat, where hangs giving motivational speeches and business advice. Khaled has also become a business mogul from headphones, cell phones, mobile apps along with being one of the most quoted artists of today ("Another One" & "They Don't Want You To Win").

"Major Key" opens with "I Got The Keys" which features Hip Hop mogul JAY Z & Future. Jay spits fire as Future delivers a chorus that will get stuck in your head. "How we still slaves in 2016?" JAY asks as he brags about his rags to riches life story.

"For Free" is a club anthem which features Drake bragging about sex and how he gives it better than anyone. Brooklyn legend Nas takes shots at Donald Trump on "Nas Album Done" saying, "Celebrity Apprentice is a devil show, Big up to Africa, Mexico." Big Sean and Kendrick battle lyrics on "Holy Key" and surprisingly Sean takes the belt. Sean's lyrics focused on police brutality and racism. "Everyday off to the races, can't fuck with you if you racist, beat your ass until your purple they can't even tell what your race is", spits the Detroit native.

Major Key brings a throwback back to life as Khaled samples the R&B classic "Lovers & Friends" by Usher, Lil' Jon & Ludacris. Nicki Minaj opens the sultry R&B anthem with hard core lyrics about a lover. Chris Brown, August Alsina and Jeremih take the way with their panty dropping vocals until Future and Rick Ross take over. Minaj closes the song with a small melody that no one expected and of course the Queen of Rap slayed.

Khaled taps New York's finest for "Don't Play Yourself." Fat Joe, Fabolous, Busta Rhymes and Jadakiss make appearances on the track. The album closes with a surprise collab with Wiz Khalifa, Wale and Meghan Trainor? That's right. The three create a powerful anthem, "Forgive Me Father" which reminds me of Khalifa's number one hit "See You Again"

"Major Key" is more than a piece of art, but a staple that represents Khaled growth and success from the last couple of years. "Major Key" is a major point in Khaled's career.

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

StableDiffusion

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
