'''DJ Khaled''' (born [[November]] [[26]], [[1975]] in [[New Orleans, Louisiana]]), is a [[Muslim]] [[Palestinian American]] [[rapper]] and [[DJ]]. His debut album, ''[[Listennn... The Album]]'', was released in stores on June 6th, 2006 followed by ''[[We The Best]]'', released on [[June 12]], [[2007]]. He also works as a DJ on [[WEDR]].

Myers taught at [[Kent State University]] in [[Kent, Ohio]] and is particularly known for his [[1970]] film ''Confrontation at Kent State'', which he filmed in the city of Kent during the week following the [[Kent State University shootings]] of May 4, 1970; it is an important document of the period.

On [[September 7]], [[2006]], he was arrested on South Beach for possession of marijuana. Khaled made bail the following day. <ref>http://sohh.com/articles/article.php/9750%23</ref>

Myers began to produce independent films in the early 1960s. Many of his films are highly personal, with non-narrative or loose narrative structures derived from his dreams. Although some films (as, for example, his 1993 film ''Tarp'') feature no actors at all, instead focusing entirely on inanimate objects, most films feature nonprofessional actors and are produced on very small budgets.

Many in the rap industry credit Khaled with breaking several acts into the game, most notably Rick Ross. Khaled's loyalty to Ross has shown throughout his work, as Ross has been featured on all but one of Khaled's singles. Ross is from Miami, the same place that Khaled does a majority of his djing.

Myers is the recipient of a [[Guggenheim Fellowship]] as well as grants from the [[American Film Institute]] and the [[National Endowment for the Arts]].
