Just a heads up, if you buy something through our links, we may get a small share of the sale. It’s one of the ways we keep the lights on here. Click here for more.

DJ Khaled understands “that life has road blocks,” and now, he’ll be able to help steer you around literal blocks in the road – as his voice is coming to the Waze app.

Now you can open the door (to your car), grab the Key and have a daily journey to greatness while one of the larger-than-life personalities guides you through your travels. DJ Khaled will be one of the available voices inside the Waze app from Wednesday, May 22, until the end of June.

Don’t play yourself, play me

This is part of Deezer’s promotional efforts to celebrate the 11th album from the star, Father of Asahd. You’ll get the usual warnings about hazards, as well as some DJ Khaled-isms like “The top’s off the Maybach” and “Stay focused.”

I really hope that Waze includes lots of his famous inspirational wit, like the apropos quote below:

Basically what I’m trying to tell you is that it’s almost impossible to drive a jet ski at night time unless you’re in a city with lights lit up so you can navigate. Besides being pitch black, that water turn black at night. Listen, I don’t recommend it.

Wise words, DJ Khaled, wise words indeed.

What do you think? Will you let DJ Khaled guide your Waze way? Let us know down below in the comments or carry the discussion over to our Twitter or Facebook.
