Key Takeaways:

• Khaled’s new singles arrive forward of his upcoming album, Aalam of God.
• “You Remind Me” includes a dancehall-heavy lineup together with Vybz Kartel, Buju Banton, and Mavado.
• “Brother” leans introspective with Post Malone and YoungBoy Never Broke Again buying and selling verses on loyalty and survival.

DJ Khaled formally kicked off his subsequent period with the discharge of two new singles. Friday (Aug. 29), he delivered “You Remind Me” that includes Vybz Kartel, Buju Banton, Mavado, Bounty Killer, RoryStoneLove, and Kaylan Arnold, adopted by “Brother” with Post Malone and YoungBoy Never Broke Again. Both tracks are set to seem on his upcoming 14th studio album, Aalam of God.

The dancehall-heavy “You Remind Me” unites the all-star Jamaican legends over vivid, island-ready drums. Vybz and Buju traded verses celebrating love and attraction, with Vybz rapping: “Ay, gyal, you remind me of summer, shine so bright in the club, gyal, why’d I meet you? I wonder, pretty like the girls on the magazine cover.” Bounty Killer introduced his signature edge, and Mavado leaned into sultry melodies. Rising vocalist Arnold supplied the tune’s hook.

The single nods to dancehall historical past by sampling Gyptian’s 2010 hit “Hold Yuh.” An accompanying music video, co-directed by Khaled and Ivan Berrios, was shot in a gorgeous, tropical setting. Those who watched the colourful clip in its entirety had been handled to a second, harder-hitting drop with Buju and Bounty.

If “You Remind Me” is sun-soaked and celebratory, “Brother” provides a extra introspective aspect. Over a guitar-driven beat, Post Malone sings an emotional hook pledging loyalty and brotherhood: “I’ll take your side whether you’re wrong or right, be there for you through your darkest times.” YoungBoy co-signs the sentiment with uncooked verses about household and survival.

The singles mark Khaled’s first releases since 2022’s GOD DID, which topped the Billboard 200 and earned gold certification. Earlier this month, the “We The Best” frontman hosted YoungBoy’s DESHAWN mixtape, and Khaled lately joined Swizz Beatz in presenting the Icon Award to Bounty Killer on the 2025 Caribbean music Awards.
