It’s an event anytime DJ Khaled is in album mode. The We the Best mogul brought out all of the stops to reveal the title of his upcoming 14th studio album, Aalam of God, which translates to “the word of God” in Arabic.
DJ Khaled released a blockbuster seven-minute album trailer — directed by Eif Rivera — on Tuesday (Feb. 4), which finds the Miami native in the middle of an intense heist scene. In it, Khaled is doing everything he can to protect the files for his upcoming album — which features a pair of Drake songs — as assailants attempt to extract the project from his briefcase throughout the cinematic clip.
The 49-year-old does his own stunts as he makes a great escape from Mark Wahlberg’s team of robbers. “Did you get it?” Wahlberg asks. “This guy’s two Drake songs on there. What if he’s got another 100-bar from Jay-Z and that thing gets out on the f–king street?”

Khaled hops into the car with Anthony Ramos, who he believes is his friend, but Ramos ends up double-crossing the musician after lunch at a Jamaican spot while holding him at gunpoint and demanding he cough up the album.
“Look how far we came and you f–king worried about what they saying? You know our saying, ‘Win with us or watch us win,’” Khaled says to Ramos, who’s playing Tone. “One more thing, Tone, you a piece of s–t!”
An unreleased snippet soundtracks the final scene with a track seemingly titled “God Is on Our Side.” “Make sure you listen in order too — from the intro to the outro,” Khaled says as he walks off scot-free. He heads to the private jet and hints at a collaboration with Rihanna on the way. “Send Rihanna the record,” he adds. “Aalam of God.”
In announcing the project on social media, Khaled also told fans in his Instagram caption, “”DRAKES BACK TO WORK… SO AM I! THIS THE ONE WITH✌🏽DRAKES.” He also tagged producer Ayo Juan while teasing a potential Ri collab, saying, “matter of fact..send that record over to @badgalriri .. u know…I JUST WANNA BREATHE – THE AIR THAT RIHANNA BREATHES – yo RIH everyTING locked.”
Aalam of God is set to arrive later in 2025, and will serve as Khaled’s 14th studio album. “This is not my last album, it’s my Black album,” Khaled said in a press release while channeling his inner Jay-Z.
