He has done a guest spot on Fame FM with "the big guy" Boyd and Delano's Revenge VI in November last year was renamed by many as "Khaled's Attack". He said that when his turn came to play, the people came up to the stage. I know for sure that when his turn was done, half the crowd left! After the annual event Fully Loaded three years ago, Khaled has become a mainstay on that same show every year since, and will continue to be for years to come I'm sure. Sharon Burke, the creator of Fully Loaded, and head of booking agency Solid Agency, takes care of The Arab's booking locally in Jamaica, the rest of the Caribbean and partly in the States....
The interview was interrupted by one of Khaled's cell phones ringing...
It was Jabba of the dj duo Bobby Konders & Jabba inquiring about a flex to be made later that night. Khaled dropped a few names in the process including Fat Joe and Ja Rule. (Fat Joe is a role model of his).
It reminded me to ask him about a Big Pun Tribute that he played at the AT&T Centre in Miami a couple years ago. I had heard that when all the artists came up one by one, they paid homage to Pun, then proceeded to big up The Arab - nuff. His voice dropped a decible or two when he spoke about it. He remembers there was about 5,000 strong attending that concert, and one that will take precedence over many others.

So all y'all that might not know the level that DJ Khaled has reached - ya betta know now. He plays on famed radio station 99 JAMS in Miami during Friday night prime time 10-midnight, and he's preparing to take over completely by the end of this year by dropping his debut mix album featuring Bounty Killer, Buju Banton, Sean Paul w/ KRS-One, Black Rob, Fat Joe, Crazy Bone from Bone Thugs, Wu-Tang and much more.

Uh.
THE DON DADA DON GORGON SOUND KILLA TWO THOUSAND ONE BUN...BIG TINGS FOR Y2K-1!

One.
