Three days before the album’s release, Khaled unveiled the official tracklist, including big names like Jay-Z, Drake, Kanye West, Eminem, Lil Wayne, Lil Baby, Future, Travis Scott, John Legend, and more. He called the album “special.” He also inspired his followers with the message, “let me clear; there’s a lot of things that can happen in the next 24 hrs”. Khaled has also called the album “the holy scripture,” “a gift to the world,” “a gift to the fans,” and “a gift to fans.”

Artwork

On the “God Did” album artwork, DJ Khaled kept things simple yet emotional. Would it be right to call this album Khaled’s most emotional project? In our opinion, he snapped while creating it. The cover photo for the album features Khaled looking up to the heavens with a tear running down his right eye. It sort of looks like a photo of gratitude, where he acknowledges heaven ‘God’ for everything that has happened in his life. That shot might have you in your feelings staring at it.
