Depois de assinar com a Roc Nation para – teoricamente – gerenciamento de sua carreira, DJ Khaled fechou um acordo de distribuição com a gravadora Epic Records para lançar seu novo álbum de estúdio. O magnata comentou sobre o acerto:

We The Best Music/Epic, essas duas marcas são sinônimo de música de qualidade. Quando eu penso sobre a Epic Records, a primeira coisa que me vem a mente é Michael Jackson, “Thriller”. Um artista icônico com uma marca e álbum icônico. Eu gostaria de agradecer a todas as pessoas nos bastidores que ajudaram a tornar esta parceria uma realidade.E quando se trata de promover novos artistas, ninguém faz isso melhor do que a WE THE BEST MUSIC!! Eu também estou orgulhoso de anunciar meu novo título do álbum para o mundo. Meu nono álbum “Major Key” é o melhor álbum da minha carreira!!!

Com nome que já virou bordão da web, o disco Major Key, deverá sair ainda em 2016, e contará com grandes colabs, entre elas Future e seu “boss” Jay Z.
