His New Book Releases in November

DJ Khaled’s new book, The Keys comes out on November 22, 2016, and it will share his major “keys” to success. The book will “break down the philosophy behind his trending catchphrases,” according to publisher Barnes & Noble. Some of these catch phrases include, “another one,” “secure the bag,” “special cloth alert,” and “bless up.”


According to GotNetWorth.com, DJ Khaled is worth $30.0 million, despite his not-so-hot music career. DJ Khaled’s songs include, “I Got the Keys,” “Nas Album Done,” “All I Do is Win,” “No New Friends,” and more. It could be said that his wealth is highly attributed to his $3.8 million mansion in Miami, as reported by The Squander, his restaurant “Finga Licking,” and his successful career as a radio DJ.

He’s Known for His Quotes

DJ Khaled’s quotes are often seen as nuggets of wisdom about perseverance and success. Billboard released several key quotes from the rapper and Snapchat star. If you’re looking for inspiration, here are a few: “They kick you when you’re down, but they wanna kick it when you’re up,” seems to refer to fake friends who aren’t there when you need them, but seek to share your success when you make it. Another truth bomb dropped by the DJ says, “We gonna win more. We gonna live more. We the best.” His grammar may not be on point, but his ideas sure emit positive vibes!
