All heavy hitters from beginning to end.

The hype behind DJ Khaled's Father of Asahd has been heavy as the superstar producer has made promises to deliver one of—if not the—greatest record he's ever released. For months, Khaled has kept many of his additions on the album under wraps, but in the days leading up to Father of Asahd's drop, he'd slowly given fans a glimpse into the superstar tracklisting.

We've known of Khaled's collaboration with Nipsey Hussle and John Legend on their track "Higher," a song that will roll out as a single with an accompanying music video—a visual that was filmed just days before Nipsey was murdered. Usually, artists select their singles based upon which big name they've linked up with, but with so many heavy hitters in one place, Khaled can close his eyes and point to any number on this list and have a chart-topping track.

Features on Father of Asahd include a long list of familiars: Buju Banton, Sizzla, Mavado, 070 Shake, Cardi B, 21 Savage, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, Big Sean, SZA, Meek Mill, J Balvin, Lil Baby, Jeremih, Travis Scott, Post Malone, Nipsey Hussle, John Legend, Nas, Cee-Lo, Jay Z, Beyoncé, Future, Justin Bieber, Chance The Rapper, Quavo, Rick Ross, Jeezy, and Gunna. Take a listen to the record and let us know which Father of Asahd tracks are your favorites.
