MED ft. Aloe Blacc - Where I’m From

MED - Where I'm From

Artist: MED

Producer: Oh No

Album: None

Label: Stones Throw

They say if you don’t know where you’re from you can’t know where you’re going. In that case, MED’s vision of the future is crystal clear – the Cali emcee absolutely knows Where I’m From. Produced by the amusing named Oh No (oh yes), who gives the beat a smoothly paced, organ-laced, retro-tinged feel, this relaxed cut finds MED reflecting on the Golden State roots, from the freaks on Sunset Ave. to the meth addicts in the projects, that made him the man he is today; The only thing that could have made this one even better is if Aloe Blacc (of I Need a Dollar fame) were to jump in and deliver another timeless vocal performance. Wait, that’s exactly what happened? Well then, I have absolutely no complaints, and neither should you. Looking for ever more from MED? According to Stone’s Throw he ambiguously “has a new album in the works for 2011 release.” In the meantime, fans can cop the just released double A-side 12-inch vinyl with both the previously featured Classic and Where I’m From. Dopeness.

Stephanie Vaughn DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 42	Rating: Stephanie Vaughn's Top Rated Songs People laud the genius of Madlib, but most don't know about his brother Oh No & that he brings the heat as well. This song is no exception: the West Coast bounce is undeniable & the cruise potential is infinite! I agree w/ Nathan, the beat & the hook are definitely what make the song.
