Khaled is set to release his 11th album, Father of Asahd named after his son May 17th, one day before the SNL gig. Khaled has yet to announce a full track list for the record, though its expected to feature No Brainer, a song he released last summer with Justin Bieber, Chance the Rapper and Quavo.
As for the Jonas Brothers, the long-dormant sibling outfit returned with their first new song in six years, Sucker, in March and recently followed it up with another new song, Cool. The band is reportedly prepping a new album that would mark their first studio effort since 2009s Lines, Vines and Trying Times.
