DJ Khaled calls the R&B artist Kehlani ‘an icon in the making,’ and in this week’s episode of “The First One”, it’s clear why. The Oakland native goes deep on working with H.E.R and Zendaya as teenagers, her time on America's Got Talent, her friendship with Nick Cannon, and the blessing of motherhood. Plus, Kehlani tells the stories behind hustling to make her Cloud 19 mixtape, her history as a ghostwriter, her breakout single with Chance The Rapper, and how Drake named her latest album, “It Was Good Until It Wasn't.”

New episodes of "The First One" release every Thursday, only on Amazon Music. Featured guests include Justin Bieber, Lil Wayne, J Balvin, Fat Joe, Jon Bon Jovi, Mary J. Blige, Ice Cube, Diddy, Gwen Stefani, Nas, Jhené Aiko, T.I., Wyclef Jean, LL Cool J and more. Check out the music featured and discussed in this episode on The First One Playlist: smarturl.it/FirstOnePlaylist.
