About
DJ Khaled turned Miami radio into a streaming powerhouse by enlisting A-list collaborators for maximalist hip-hop albums. Born in New Orleans to Palestinian immigrant parents, he rose from 99 Jamz radio host in the 1990s to chart-dominating producer, launching hits like "I'm on One" and "Grateful". As a Sagittarius, his booming voice and catchphrases became as iconic as his music.

Biography
DJ Khaled became one of rap's most prolific album-makers by assembling superstar rosters rather than performing solo. Born November 26, 1975, in New Orleans to Palestinian immigrant parents, he moved to Miami and launched his on-air career at 99 Jamz radio in the 1990s. By enlisting Drake, Rihanna, Jay-Z, and dozens of others, he built a signature sound anchored in maximalist production and his own hype-man presence.
His breakthrough came with "I'm So Hood" from *We the Best* (2007), but mainstream crossover arrived via "I'm on One" (2011), featuring Drake, Rick Ross, and Lil Wayne. *Major Key* (2016) debuted at number one and earned a Grammy nomination; *Grateful* (2017) and his self-titled album (2021) both topped the Billboard 200. "Higher" from *Father of Asahd* (2019) won Best Rap/Sung Performance at the Grammy Awards—his first win.
Beyond music, Khaled authored *The Keys*, which landed on the New York Times Best Seller list, and acted in *Bad Boys for Life* (2020) and *Bad Boys: Ride or Die* (2024). His label, We the Best Music Group, has distributed his work since 2008 and signed artists including Ace Hood and Kent Jones. Life path 5 suggests adaptability and constant reinvention—traits evident in his pivot from radio to streaming dominance [F1, birth].
