DJ Khaled comes from the DJ Clue school of disc-jockeying. He isn't known for his production skills and is far from a master turntablist. What he does have, though, is connects--mad connects. And as his second full-length release, WE THE BEST, shows, DJ Khaled's connections extend far beyond Miami city limits, as Lil Wayne, Fat Joe, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Jadakiss, Beanie Siegel, Juelz Santana, and Young Jeezy are just the tip of the iceberg. With production from Cool & Dre, Beat Novocaine, and the Runners, among others, WE THE BEST bangs with 12 tracks of neck-snapping, Dirty South slop. Fellow Miami representatives Rick Ross and Trick Daddy are also prominently featured.
