Most of these records got recorded with me in the studio, and it was very intimate.īut how do you figure out who would be good collaborating with who? Sometimes I like doing collaborations that they say are impossible to do. Even if you don't use that idea for the record, it sparks up other ideas. And then after the production, I just like to come with some kind of idea. I just want to make sure the production is A1. ![]() I always start off my albums with the production standpoint. How do you decide who goes on what song with who? It depends. That's just the attitude I have on everything I do. When I made the album I say can't be done, I DID it. And when I say that, I want you to do it. What I did on Father of Asahd can't be done. I just think it's boss." It fit the video.īut there's so many records on the album! I'mma be real with you. I was like, "Yo, I want to do this one scene. And then being an entertainer and being able to inspire and bring happiness to people is such an inspiration. And then he's at his restaurant from 9:00 a.m. And this man wakes up at 4:00 or 5:00 in the morning and works out every single day. And now he owns restaurants all over the world. That just shows you the power of the people and the power of love. He came from nothing to be where he's at right now. He's a great cook and entertainer and a boss and a mogul. How did that come about? Salt Bae is my friend, and I'm a big fan of him. I love the "You Stay" music video, and my favorite part is when you catch a piece of steak in your mouth. And if he experiences something else, he'll know that's not the right thing. So being a responsible parent, I say to myself, "I gotta make sure the love is 24 hours around the clock." That way, he'll know the difference between love and something else. I make sure that my energy is incredible for him because I know he learns so fast. So my son is always around me, and he's around all the energies. When they're children at this young age, they're supposed to be extremely happy, and I want to keep it like that. My son, I want to see him smile and be happy. If there's one lesson you want to instill in your children, what is it? The most important lesson is love. But I can tell you this: All my albums' titles and energies are based on what's going on in my life at that time. ![]() It's doing so amazing, and it's like we focused on that album, and when it's time to make another one, we gonna know what God wants us to do. Does that mean you have to make another album with your next child's name in the title? _Father of Asahd came out this year. At that time, and still, there was just a certain energy that Asahd brought to me and the world, and that name fit perfect. Just because when we named Asahd it was a feeling, it was a vibe. Have you given any thoughts to names? We haven't officially talked about names because I want to pick the name closer to his arrival-I'm thinking the month of. Sure, you might take issue with some of it-its simplicity, the carnival barker of it all-or you might if he didn’t always find his way back to such an undeniably positive message: Love. He’s unapologetically loud, bold, and brash, and the culture eats it up. ![]() His brazen accentuation transforms the otherwise mundane into grand pronouncements, culture-shaping catchphrases, and widely consumed motivation. It’s this sort of enthusiastic expression of untarnished wonder that’s helped make Khaled a superstar personality in his own right. He’s impressed by his friend, the celebrity chef Salt Bae, for instance, because he came from nothing, and “Now he owns restaurants all over the world. Sometimes-okay, often-he’s merely caught in a state of awe. His latest album, Father of Asahd, he tells me, was an impossibility-getting that many stars on one album, you try it-and yet, “I DID it.” So far as why he believes the album was so potent, he adds, “Because everybody comes with their A Game, or MORE than their A Game.”īut the stress isn’t just reserved for self-aggrandizement. Pop’s musical quilt-master is a serial emphasizer.
