His longtime friend and collaborator Ross says of KhaledвЂ™s early days, вЂњThere were always a lot of things to like about him, but preeminent among those was that he always busted his ass. вЂњLife calls upon us to be great, so letвЂ™s be the best of the best,вЂќ he says tapping his chest like the proud motivational speaker he basically is. 1 album.вЂќДJ Khaled, with wife, Nicole Tuck, and children, Asahd and Aalam, says having a family changed his focus: вЂњItвЂ™s all about my family and their future.вЂќ Courtesy of DJ KhaledДЄnd as he gears up for the next phase of his career and his next album, which features both newer names such as Lil Durk along with old friends including Rick Ross, Khaled is quick to say that an uplifting attitude and strong work ethic are where it all begins.

1 album - I wake up every day saying that вЂWeвЂ™re No.

Getting the call where you got a Walk of Fame star, a Grammy or a No. Getting this star, that acknowledgment, is a blessing. IвЂ™m grateful for blessings that God gave me. Being a good man drives me - being there for my family and my children. Being a father of two children drives me.

That I came from nothing, that I made it this far, and that I keep going and I keep growing - thatвЂ™s what drives me. вЂњNow, am I driven by awards or other accolades? No. вЂњEverybody who puts out great work loves greatness to come back,вЂќ he says. (And yes, in real life, he talks just as he does on his records.) But when talking about his Hollywood Walk of Fame star, which he will get April 11, it is in many ways a culmination of the 46-year-oldвЂ™s decades of working his way up from humble beginnings as the New Orleans-born son of Palestinian immigrants, to a record-store employee, radio DJ and finally a star in his own right, KhaledвЂ™s voice drops down to a modest tone before ramping back up to hype-man volume.
