DJ Khaled is in beast mode!

The 49-year-old DJ and record producer teamed up with popular fitness influencer Ashton Hall to promote his upcoming album, 'Aalam of God'.

Hall is known for his viral running videos and over-the-top morning routines, which include an ice bowl facial that will make you shiver just looking at them.

DJ Khaled decided to give Hall a run for his money. He shared a video of himself running side by side with Hall - shirtless nogal.

'Album mode. Aalam of God," the 'Supposed To Be Loved' hitmaker wrote.

The DJ gave it his best, but it was clear that Hall slowed down his usual speed to stay in step with him.

His followers found the video hilarious.

"You running full speed [and] dude jogging 😂😂😂," one Instagram user joked.

Another user wrote: "This [is] the funniest video I've seen all day 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂."

Shortly before dropping the video, Khaled revealed in a separate post that he hired Hall to help him with his fitness.

"Today, [I] decided to go to the gym! Meet my trainer. Spring is here, summer is near, AALAM OF G🌎D @wethebest," he wrote.

It's unclear if the DJ is serious about his fitness or was teasing his upcoming promo.

"Next week it’s gon be back to 'lobster perhaps?!!!!' 🤣🤣🤣," another fan wrote.

DJ Khaled announced his 'AAlam of God' album in February with a film trailer starring actor Mark Wahlberg.

The album is named after his five-year-old son Aalam. In a 2024 Instagram post, the DJ discussed the meaning behind his youngest son's name.

"'Aalam of God' translates to 'the world of God' in Arabic, essentially referring to the entire universe or the realm of existence considered as being under God’s dominion and control; 'Aalam' simply means 'world' or 'universe' in Arabic," he wrote.

'Aalam of God' will be his 14th studio album.

Some big names tipped to feature on the album include Drake, Rihanna, Tems, Burna Boy, 21 Savage and Jay-Z.

"This is not my last album, it’s my Black album,” Khaled said in a statement.

He has not revealed a release date for the album yet, but it is expected to be released in 2025.
