Named after his two-year-old son and the album’s co-producer, “Father of Asahd” stands primed to be Khaled’s most powerful moment yet.

While details regarding a tracklist or guest features are scarce at the moment, the Grammy-nominated artist is expected to drop more hints soon as well as the lead single off the album.
