Khaled’s enthrallment with Reggae and Dancehall dates back to the 1990s when he often visited Jamaica to observe soundclash culture and play at events, particularly the Fully Loaded, Reloaded and Overloaded series of beach parties organized by Solid Agency. In soundclash culture, to ‘kill a sound’ means to beat an opposing sound system or DJ in a musical competition, often utilizing exclusive dubplates voiced by artists. But I’m from the mud to f-cking limestone and marble floors…you have to progress you have to grow so how I kill sounds now is by my albums, my anthems, my singles, my body of work-that’s my new way of killing sounds…I’m a sound killer! I kill sounds,” Khaled declared. It’s a beautiful place, I actually had more fun in the mud than I have now.
“Let me tell you something, I come from the mud. You want me to keep killing sounds?,” the 46-year-old told hosts N.O.R.E. “I’m a sound killer, and you know, I’m nice…I’ve been killing sounds my whole life. Speaking on the latest episode of Drink Champs, the We The Best producer explained that he has grown and evolved from his early days as a Miami DJ, popular for his Rap and Dancehall mixes and dubplates.
American producer DJ Khaled says he’s no longer interested in generic sound clashes or even a Verzuz battle, because these days his singles and albums are doing the work.
