Jay-Z Raps On DJ Khaled's 'Go Hard' Remix -- Check Out A Clip Here!
Rap was a holiday present for Khaled: 'I got the verse on Christmas Eve!'

Shawn "Santa" Carter — a.k.a. Jay-Z — had a serious holiday gift for DJ Khaled: Jay-Z recently gave the lovably mouthy radio personality/ record exec/ artist/ all-around hype man some raps for a remix of his "Go Hard."

"I got the verse on Christmas Eve!" Khaled said excitedly on Monday night about Jay's new rhymes on his song. "Christmas Eve! What a huge Christmas gift!"

The original "Go Hard" is featured on Khaled's We Global LP. T-Pain sings the hook and Kanye West commands the verses. On the remix, Jay-Z spits a possibly controversial line about late actor Heath Ledger: "On dark nights it's just like I see better/ On Dark Knights I'm like Heath Ledger/ Even if I overdose on drugs, muthaf---as can't kill my buzz."

Later, he namechecks Mr. West: "I'mma go harder than 'Ye go/ And 'Ye go hard, that's bay [baby] bro."

"I had that [original] 'Go Hard' record and I told [Jay-Z's A&R rep] Lenny 'S.' Santiago that I would love to get Jay on there," Khaled said of a conversation that took place months ago, before We Global was released. "I always said to myself, 'It never hurts to ask.' "

The Miami DJ played the song for Santiago, who then sent it to Jay.

"I made sure I told Lenny the truth: that it's a dream to work with Jay and I'm fan of his music. I kept telling him we will make more history," Khaled offered. "So time passed, I never really knew if he was going to do it, so I let the song go and kept it moving. In my head I said, 'We will work together one day.' I always knew hard work pays off. I wanted this bad!"

Months went by without a peep from Hov until last week, when Khaled got the Jay verse.

"Jay-Z is like a jedi!" Khaled exclaimed. "He just knows when to make his moves and when to do something. And Jay-Z felt like I deserved the verse. I really appreciated that they believe in me!

"We the best!" Khaled continued. " 'Go Hard' is so good!"

Jay-Z also has another "Go Hard" record on the radio: "Brooklyn Go Hard." It's the lead cut from the Notorious soundtrack, due January 13.

Khaled getting happy over Jay verse, which was hot, but imagine if Jay would have really went in. All them new records he been dropping feel like he shooting jumpshots right now to test the waters. I can't wait to hear blueprint 3.

The original was heavy! Good Jays getting some more verses out. I'm not massively sure about Blueprint 3 yet. Some records have been average, some have been great! Am confident in Jigga tho
