DJ Khaled‘s latest album, the August 26-released ‘God Did,’ may appear to be a shoo-in for the crown spot on next week’s Billboard 200 (as we reported here), but the GRAMMY winner isn’t taking any chances and has begun rolling out a slew of music videos in support of the effort.

Having already gifted many of the LP’s housed cuts the visual treatment including the Future and SZA-assisted ‘Beautiful’ and the 21 Savage-enlisted ‘Way Past Luck’ (as we reported here), two other tunes – ‘Party‘ (featuring Quavo and Takeoff) and ‘Keep Going’ (ft. Lil Durk, 21 Savage, & Roddy Ricch) also boast official accompanying clips.

While the latter was filmed under the direction of Christian Sutton and sees its performers show off their Lambos while turning up in a ring of fire and blazed automobiles, the former was directed by Ivan Berrios and sees its performers bring the turn up indoors while being surrounded by scantily clad dancers.
