After DJ Khaled purchased his Florida residence five years go, the record label exec left much of the decorating to his longtime fiancée, Nicole Tuck. Now the 6-bedroom home—made up of an impressive sneaker room, soaring living room and an outside area he calls his "musical garden"—is often the backdrop for his inspirational snapchats. "When you walk in, I want you to feel the blessings," he tells PEOPLE in this week's issue.

"My girl used to trip on me all the time, because my sneakers were everywhere. So we decided to get them a room upstairs," says Khaled of the space tagged with the name of his music group, We the Best. "I wanted to glorify my sneakers. I think it's one of my best projects I put together."

Khaled—who will release his ninth album, Major Key, on July 29—says he wears "most" of his sneakers. "The ones I super love, I try to buy as many as possible," he says. "I love to keep a fresh pair and wear the other ones. My concept is the more you can get of the same shoe, the better."

Khaled cites his hot tub as one of his favorite places to relax. "I like to be around my bamboo trees, my beautiful angels: the flowers and the lion," he says. "That whole area is real special to me—every part of the house is—but that's where I catch the vibe."

Khaled's "musical garden" is a real point of pride for him. "My flowers represent life for me. When I plant flowers, I actually get to see them grow, blossom. I get to see the colors come out," he says. "The more you take care of it, the more beautiful it is. I look at it like life."
