With the rollout for DJ Khaled‘s next album starting to take form, the Miami native plans to takeover the weekend (and quite possibly the summer) with his next single.

Debuting Friday (6/2) at 9AM on Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 show, Khaled will officially kick off the Major Key campaign with “For Free” featuring Drake. And, according to Mr. Snapchat, it’s going to make you “feel what the summer is going to feel like“—or, something.

UPDATE: The song, which is produced by OVO affiliates Jordan Ullman (of Majid Jordan) and Nineteen85 (of dvsn), is a breezy summer jam with Drake interpolating Too $hort’s “Blow The Whistle” and Kendrick Lamar’s “For Free.”

The song also pays homage to Akinyele too, as the dirty version is called “F*ck Me For Free” and you hear a brief snippet of his 1996 single at the end.

Groove to it below.

“For Free”

During Khaled’s sit-down with Zane Lowe, he also announced the title for his, Future and JAY Z’s forthcoming track, “I Got The Keys” — which sounds like a perfect follow up to “Drug Dealers Anonymous” if you ask me — and revealed he doesn’t just have a Jay Z verse, he’s got Jay Z verse(s).
