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.
