Like any great boss, DJ Khaled's reputation precedes him.As a Grammy Award-nominated multi-platinum artist, producer, personality, businessman, and visionary, he has impacted numerous facets of hip-hop, and everybody knows him for one reason or another. Whether it's his long-running radio show, President Def Jam South, or vast musical output, his sphere of influence remains staggering. Most importantly, he instantly commends respect, and Khaled's grip on the game tightens with the release of Kiss The Ring—his sixth full-length studio album and second release for Cash Money Records and his very own We The Best Music Group.Kiss The Ring upholds numerous traditions for the artist. He continually breaks the mold by staying true to himself, his sound, and his following. "I've been so consistent with my music over the past seven years," he affirms. "I'm always giving the fans my respect. They can rely on me. I'm going to bring them what they want—which is greatness."If you're looking for "greatness", look no further than the collection's first single, "Take It To The Head", which features the all-star cast of Nicki Minaj, Rick Ross, Chris Brown, and Lil Wayne. Co-produced by The Runners and Khaled, the track boasts invigorating bravado. Brown delivers a sizzling and soulful hook as Ross, Nicki, and Wayne trade sharp, smart, and slick verses. It's a formidable collaboration from the top names in the game. As soon as it dropped, "Take It To The Head" took both Urban and Crossover radio by storm with no holds-barred. "That record is unstoppable," he smiles. "It's the anthem of 2012. We're trying to make timeless music, and I feel like that is just one example."
