“Where You Come From” is the last track on the “Khaled Khaled” album sitting at track #14. The consists of a strong hip-hop foundation with dancehall sensibilities coming through mostly in the delivery and flow of the artist’s lyrics and the grungy, raw tones of Buju, Capleton and Bounty Killer’s voices. The track also features a sample from legendary voice in the Jamaican music industry, Barrington Levy. The song oozes confidence and speaks on boasting one’s worth.
