Asahd Khaled to executive produce DJ Khaled’s next album

The entertainer, who hosted the Nickelodeon’s Kid’s Choice Awards, disclosed this in an interview with Billboard.

“Father of Asahd is my best work up to date. My son is executive producing it,” Khaled tells Billboard on the carpet. “Expect a lot of surprises. It’s coming, it’s close, it’s near”, Khaled enthuses.

This isn’t the first time Asahd has executive-produced records. At just four-months-old, he was credited with DJ Khaled’s 2017 album, Grateful and Jay-Z and Beyonce’s Shining.

“Well, believe it or not, the poops and the throw-ups are the super blessings,” Khaled says on a 2017 episode of ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, explaining that Asahd threw up on him while he was mixing Shining.

Khaled says that Asahd’s role as an executive producer includes him providing input on the album through subtle gestures and expressions in the studio.

“He’s in the studio listening to songs with me, going over the business part of it,” DJ Khaled says on Kimmel. “He can tell if the vocals are right, if the beats are right and if the energy is right.”

Father of Asahd is set to be released on 17 May.
