DJ Khaled Says He Bought A Condo Just To Get A Verse From Jay Z

DJ Khaled doesn't really rap or make beats.

Yet his upcoming album Major Key will feature heavy hitters like Jay Z, Drake, Future and Kendrick Lamar.

How does he do it? Persistence.

In an interview with Music Choice, Khaled says he moved to New York just so he could get Hov's verse on his Major Key single 'I Got The Keys'.

“I basically got a condo in New York City for a whole year to stay close by him and let him know how hungry I was for that verse," Khaled admits. “So I went in studio every day. He was recording his album and I appreciate him letting me be around and capture that greatness, but at and at the same time I was hustling too, you know what I am saying. I wanna get that verse in. It was a year process.”

He must have really wanted that verse.

Major Key drops next Friday, July 29.
