DJ Khaled Plots Victory, Calls in Usher & Drake for New LP

Miami tastemaker DJ Khaled is hard at work on his upcoming album, which he says will include a few surprises.

According to MTV News, Khaled says his album will feature the usual Florida regulars like Rick Ross and Plies, along with two artists he’s never worked with before- Drake and Usher.

“I worked with someone I never worked with before that I always wanted to work with,” Khalid told MTV. “I won’t tell you if it’s one of my singles or one of the singles, ‘cause I like that to be a surprise. But I did work with someone I always wanted to work with; his name is Usher. I did work with him, and I’m excited by that. I worked with someone [else] I never worked with before; his name is Drake. I’m a fan of his music. I think he’s talented.”

The album, his fourth, is titled Victory and is scheduled for release in 2010. -Brooklyne Gipson
