During last night’s Gig-It launch party at New York’s Capitale, MTV caught up with Khaled, who spoke on our president walking out to his hit record, “All I Do Is Win”. Looking forward to that skit. “‘All I Do Is Win’ is one of the biggest anthems of all time, I think, and it’s a timeless record. It represents winners, and Obama’s a winner, I’m a winner, you’re a winner. And it represents the people, and it’s love and excitement, […]

His ability to go from moments of pure energy to moments of deep introspection is what makes this track so engaging; it reminds me of when you would slow dance, hugging your woman.
