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.
On September 7, 2006, he was arrested on South Beach for possession of marijuana. Khaled made bail the following day. [1]
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.
