DJ Khaled looks like he might be upping his fitness game with the help of an unexpected collaborator.
On Thursday (May 22), the Grammy-winning DJ and producer took to Instagram to share a video with Ashton Hall, the lifestyle influencer who went viral for his insane morning routine.
The footage showcases the duo’s outdoor cardio session in which Khaled heavy sprints on pavement alongside Hall while rocking a weighted vest and Black Cement 3s.
Khaled teased the link-up in an Instagram post on Wednesday (May 21), where he posed alongside Hall. “Today decided to go to the gym! Meet my trainer,” he captioned the post.
The We the Best hitmaker later revealed he was on a new fitness kick. “We don’t lose weight. All we do is win,” Khaled said in another video shared on the Clip Kicker TikTok. “Now we might get rid of weight, but we don’t lose weight.”
DJ Khaled went on to thank Hall for his time and applauded his popular running videos. “When I met you, I was inspired,” he said. “First thing I told you, I was like, ‘Yo, your videos inspire me… Pull out the black truck.’ Remember that?”
“Yeah, less than 24 hours ago,” Hall responded.
“I told him to pull out the black truck,” Khaled continued. “I said bring me the — what do you call this vest? The vest. I want the vest, the [athletic] tape… we gotta document the moment.”
Khaled also used the running video with Hall to promote Aalam of God, the long-awaited follow-up to his 2002 album God Did. “Album mode,” he captioned the footage.
Aalam of God will mark Khaled’s 14th full-length project. He announced the effort back in February with a cinematic trailer starring Mark Wahlberg and Anthony Ramos. The video dropped several hints about the album, including some potential features.
“Do you understand what I’m f**kin’ tellin’ you? This guy’s got two Drake songs on there. Two,” Wahlberg said. “What if he’s got another 100-bar verse from Jay-Z?”
Khaled has yet to announce Aalam of God’s official drop date.
