DJ Khaled – “No New Friends” (Feat. Drake, Lil Wayne & Rick Ross)
Once upon a time, DJ Khaled stumbled into taking credit for one of the best singles of 2011, when his name appeared on the left side of the hyphen on “I’m On One,” the excellently twinkly and moody Drake/Lil Wayne/Rick Ross team-up. Khaled’s new single “No New Friends” is a transparent attempt to recapture that song’s magic, bringing back the same cast of characters, including producer Noah “40” Shebib, who this time teams up with fellow Drake favorite Boi-1Da to create a similarly bummed rich-guy banger. It’s not up to its predecessor’s standards, but it’s still a pretty potent A-list rap song. Listen below.
Khaled’s hilariously titled new album Suffering From Success is coming soon.
