Rick Ross, Plies and T-Pain also appear on the Miami DJ’s latest posse cut. By Mawuse Ziegbe Lil Wayne Photo: Getty Images Lil Wayne is getting back to one of the things he does best: tricking out collabos with his trademark lyricism. On Thursday (January 13), DJ Khaled’s latest star-studded posse cut and first Cash Money offering, “Welcome to My Hood” hit the Net , featuring bars from Weezy, fellow Florida rappers Rick Ross and Plies and rumored Young Money signee T-Pain . The track, crafted by the Renegades, Khaled and the Nasty Beatmakers, features the victorious, speaker-shattering, hometown-pumping energy typical of the DJ’s all-star collabos, with Pain belting lines like, “Everybody know everybody/ And if I got it, everybody got it,” over the steely, bass-heavy beat. Ross leads things off, balancing glossy images of Audemars Piguet-laced wrists and mortgage-payment-sized bar tabs with grimy street operations, wrapping up with, “The Ferrari just a front/ Got the Lambo in the back/ Told you we the best forever/ DJ Khaled handle that.” Plies follows with a souped-up, eardrum-busting flow, detailing the exploits of his city’s hardened thugs. “I know some n—as from my ‘hood that would’ve rocked Noriega/ I’m taking Noriega, n—a, the real Noriega,” the Fort Myers rapper spits about hometown hooligans capable of ripping apart the infamous Panamanian politician and drug kingpin — not the Queens rapper Noreaga. Wayne closes the track with lyrics that reference his return to the game — and Khaled-helmed collabos — after his 2010 prison stay . “Back from hell, cell 23/ Tell the warden kiss my ass, pockets are Mo’Nique,” Weezy rhymes, shrugging off the drama of the jail bid. He also briefly touches on the 2007 weapons arrest that landed him in the pen, spitting, “Sh– happens, and since I’m the sh–, I’m who it happened to.” The I Am Not a Human Being rapper finishes with lines about his single-minded focus on re-conquering the game, rhyming, “All that bullsh– is for the birds/ Throw some bread out/ Got it sewed up/ Check the thread count.” Khaled hinted to MTV News last year that the first single for the forthcoming We The Best Forever would get the Wayne treatment. “When I work with Wayne, I always get the most classic verses, like ‘We Taking Over,’ ” Khaled said. “And this verse with my new one, it’s … I’m not even gonna lie: It’s amazing. “It’s one of them anthems that I do,” he added. “The streets are gonna embrace it on another level. When you hear it you’re gonna be like, ‘This is what I’m talking about.’ It’s that anthem, I got them.” What do you think of DJ Khaled’s “Welcome to My Hood” record? Let us know in the comments!

DJ Khaled Teases Lil Wayne Collabo On We The Best Forever

Posted on December 7, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on DJ Khaled Teases Lil Wayne Collabo On We The Best Forever

‘When I work with Wayne, I always get the most classic verses,’ he tells Mixtape Daily. By Jayson Rodriguez, with reporting by Sway Calloway and Rahman Dukes DJ Khaled Photo: MTV News The O.D.: A Mixtape Daily Exclusive If DJ Khaled’s records are movies, then the Miami-based radio jock is a director. And like all good cameramen, he wants to keep his script closely guarded. His next project is his first for Cash Money Records, and he’s looking to kick things off with a lead single that would put “The Matrix Reloaded” opening scene to shame. “I don’t want to tell you the name of the artist yet,” he told Mixtape Daily. “I want people to be surprised. But I have my first single.” It might not be that hard to figure out who he could have in store for the record. He’s new to Cash Money, and a certain Cash Money artist was recently released from prison. Plus, the two have a penchant for making smash hits together. “I can tell you for a fact that me and Wayne did work together,” Khaled said. “I’m not gonna lie, he’s on it. We’ll let that one go.” The album We the Best Forever marks Khaled’s major-label debut, and he’s hoping to make major moves with the set. In the past, he’s delivered two big hits on cue with each release. But now, he’s planning to stretch his LP out like an outfielder reaching over the fence to steal a home run. “Bigger team, and they’re letting me do what I want,” he said. So far, he’s 75 percent done with the project, which will also feature Chris Brown and Keyshia Cole on one record (he called it “Olympic torch music” because it’s so inspirational), Cee Lo Green (“Sleep When I’m Gone”) and, of course, Weezy. “When I work with Wayne, I always get the most classic verses, like ‘We Taking Over,’ ” Khaled said. “And this verse with my new one, it’s … I’m not even gonna lie: It’s amazing. “It’s one of them anthems that I do,” he added. “The streets are gonna embrace it on another level. When you hear it you’re gonna be like, ‘This is what I’m talking about.’ It’s that anthem, I got them.” For other artists featured in Mixtape Daily, check out Mixtape Daily Headlines .

Cam’ron, Fat Joe, Rick Ross, Big Boi, Raekwon and more hip-hop heavyweights come out to support Inf. By Shaheem Reid DJ Khaled Photo: Ben Rose/ Getty Images ATLANTA — A couple of weeks ago, DJ Khaled found himself in the center of MCs: Cam’ron, Vado, Fat Joe and Rick Ross. All the spitters had smiles on their faces because Khaled was making one of his movies again, this time by rapping. Khaled and company were at Atlanta radio station V103 on DJ Infamous’ radio show. “Sittin’ on the top floor/ What you think I’m hot for?/ Every summer drop more/ Hits to make my stock go up!” Khaled rapped as Infamous spun the “All I Do Is Win” remix. Khaled couldn’t contain his excitement afterward, yelling, “We made it, ma.” “We all out here for Infamous,” Khaled said when the radio show was over. “He’s official We the Best. He’s been We the Best.” Khaled recently inked his friend Infamous to a record deal via his We the Best label. Khaled, Cam’ron, Vado, Ross, Fat Joe, Chaka Zulu, Donnis, Pill, Big Boi, Raekwon and members of the Atlanta Hawks and Orlando Magic all came down to ATL’s club Compound to support the fifth anniversary of Infamous’ radio show. “We here to support my man Infamous,” Cam said before the party. “He shows us much love, so we here to support him. We’re going to Compound and do a whole ‘nother movie tonight, but Infamous, we appreciate all the love from my brother down here. He’s Atlanta. Say no more.” “Its very monumental, and its very big,” Infamous said about his new deal. “I represent We the Best, as Khaled said. We making that We the Best move. I’m on Khaled’s label, and this is a celebration. I been on the radio, five years strong. I been in the main clubs, five years strong in Atlanta. I’m here to celebrate. I got some surprises that’s crazy.” Inf said his album probably won’t come out until the top of next year, but he fully expects to have many high-powered friends on the LP, as well as a slew of up-and-coming talent. What surprise guests do you hope DJ Infamous gets on his album? Let us know in the comments!
