DJ Khaled Announces ‘Staying Alive’ With Drake & Lil Baby, ‘God Did’ Release Date
August 28 will see the release of DJ Khaled’s thirteenth studio album, God Did, a little more than a year after the release of his star-studded, Billboard 200-topping record.
The lead track from the set, “Staying Alive,” a duet featuring Drake and Little Baby, will be available on streaming services this Friday, August 5. When the new song is out, it will come with a music video.
Lil Baby (“Every Chance I Get,” “I Did It,” and “Body In Motion”) and Drake (“Greece” and “Popstar”) both had appearances on Khaled’s previous album, and “Staying Alive” will be the fifth collaboration between the two Grammy-winning rappers. Still, “Staying Alive” marks the collaboration of DJ Khaled, Drake, and Lil Baby on a song for the first time. DJ Khaled’s debut single of 2022 as a lead artist is “Staying Alive.” In March, he guested on Latto’s “Big Energy” remix with Mariah Carey.
God Did, reportedly his “biggest, boldest, and best body of work to date,” will add to DJ Khaled’s already extraordinarily prosperous year. DJ Khaled has already received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, presented at the Billboard Music Awards, and assisted in kicking off the Academy Awards in 2022.
Nine of DJ Khaled’s top 10 albums on the Billboard 200 list, including the Grammy-nominated song Major Key from 2016, reached No. 1. In addition, the producer-mogul has six top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, including the No. 1-peaking “I’m The One” (featuring Chance the Rapper, Justin Bieber, Quavo, and Lil Wayne) and the No. 2-peaking “Wild Thoughts” (with Rihanna and Bryson Tiller).
