DJ Khaled is Back: Why “One Of Them” is the Summer Anthem We Needed

The king of motivational shouting and star-studded collaborations has done it again. On April 10, 2026, DJ Khaled officially kicked off the rollout for his 14th studio album, Aalam of God. He did it by dropping the high-octane single and music video “One Of Them.”

Teaming up with his frequent collaborators and Atlanta heavyweights Future and Lil Baby, Khaled has delivered a track that feels like a victory lap. If you’ve been looking for the song to blast with the windows down this summer, this is “one of them.”

The Visuals: John Wick Meets Miami

Directed by the visionary Kid Art and produced by Chariot Pictures, the music video for “One Of Them” isn’t just a promo—it’s a cinematic event.

Moving away from the standard “pool party and luxury cars” trope (though, don’t worry, there are still plenty of Maybachs), the video takes a dark, action-packed turn. Inspired by the sleek, high-stakes aesthetic of John Wick, the visuals feature:

• Intense Action Sequences: Fast-paced editing and dramatic lighting that capture the urgency of the track.

• Miami Noir: A moody, cinematic portrayal of Miami that feels more like a heist film than a music video.

• The Power Trio: Future’s effortless “Pluto” cool paired with Lil Baby’s sharp, focused energy, all centered by Khaled’s larger-than-life presence.

The Sound: Hard-Hitting and Haunting

Produced by a powerhouse team including TM88, CONCENTRACIA, Marko Lenz, and Rozay Knockin, the track is built around an eerie, staccato piano loop. It provides the perfect backdrop for the two rappers to do what they do best:

• Lil Baby sets the standard with a verse about his astronomical rise and the price of success (“Sixty minutes, charge a million”).

• Future brings the “toxic king” energy and street grit, reminding everyone why he remains a titan in the game with his signature melodic flow.

• Khaled anchors the track with his iconic ad-libs, reminding listeners that “You played yourself” if you ever doubted his ability to craft a hit.

Why It Matters: The Road to Aalam of God

“One Of Them” serves as the lead single for Khaled’s upcoming album, “Aalam of God”, which is scheduled to drop on July 17, 2026.

This marks his first full-length project since 2022’s GOD DID, and the stakes are high. By reuniting the trio responsible for hits like “Every Chance I Get,” Khaled is leaning into a proven chemistry that resonates with both the streets and the charts.

“We not ’bout to play with these people,” Future says in the intro.
