If Kim Kardashian is famous for being famous, then DJ Khaled is pretty much the hip-hop equivalent, a facilitator known mainly for barking his name out alongside a bunch of more famous dudes that he snagged to rap on the track alongside him. The latest example of the curatorial power of Khaled comes on his new single “How Many Times,” which features Chris Brown, Lil Wayne and Big Sean.

Breezy does his sing-rap thing over the straightforward beat, as Weezy gets weird about sexting and lets fly some Auto-Tune croaks, while Sean Don keeps his hot streak going with a quiet-to-loud climb. Honestly, though, the most striking thing about it is how seeing “Lil Wayne” thrown in with those names at this point in time just doesn’t add anything to the prospects of this song.

The track was produced by Lee on the Beats, BKORN and OZ, leading to the age-old “So what exactly did DJ Khaled do here?” joke. It’s off his forthcoming eighth album, I Changed A Lot.
