Buju Banton, Capleton, Bounty Killer & Barrington Levy Team Up For ‘Where You Come From’ On DJ Khaled’s New Album
DJ Khaled’s new album Khaled Khaled will feature Buju Banton, Bounty Killer Barrington Levy, and Capleton on a single track.
In several Instagram posts yesterday and today, the American record exec revealed that Khaled Khaled, his 12th studio album, would be released this Friday, April 30, and is executive produced by his young sons, Asahd and Aalam.
“I have a gift for the world,” he wrote in one caption. “I can’t wait to share it with you.”
In addition to the Reggae and Dancehall superstars, the packed 13 track album features Lil Wayne, Jeremih, Lil Baby, Lil Durk, H.E.R., Migos, Post Malone, Megan Thee Stallion, DaBaby, Justin Bieber, 21 Savage, Bryson Tiller, Roddy Rich, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Big Sean, Rick Ross, Puff Daddy, Nas, Jay-Z, James Fauntleroy & Harmonies By The Hive, Justin Timberlake, Meek Mill, and Drake.
Earlier this month, while in Jamaica, Khaled said that he was “working on something special, I never forget where I come from.” The track featuring Banton, Bounty Killer, Levy, and Capleton is titled Where I Come From.
All four Jamaican stars re-shared Khaled’s big reveal, but Bounty Killer added in an Instagram post, “Track list he saved the best for last.”
Fans can look forward to a music video for the collaboration.
Khaled’s last two chart-topping singles, Greece and Popstar, with Canadian rapper Drake is also listed among the tracks.
H.E.R., who was in Jamaica along with Migos, will appear on a track with the rap trio titled We Going Crazy which should also be receiving a music video set on the North Coast of Jamaica. The 23-year-old singer-songwriter will also appear on another track, I Can Have It All, with Bryon Tiller and Meek Mill.
H.E.R., who won the Academy Award for Best Original Song during the 2021 Oscars on Sunday night and also copped the Song of the Year Award at the 63rd Annual Grammys in March for I Can’t Breathe, has promised a Reggae EP that will feature several Jamaican Reggae and Dancehall artists this year.
“I’ve always loved reggae, and now I’m about to do a whole reggae project. My EP is definitely coming this year. I’m still finishing it up and making sure it’s great before releasing it,” she said in an interview.
Khaled’s song Sorry Not Sorry, which reunites Jay-Z and Nas, was also previewed today.
Khaled Khaled follows DJ Khaled’s 2019 album, Father Of Asahd, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart and is certified platinum. That project featured Buju Banton, Sizzla, Mavado and 070 Shake on the single Holy Mountain, and Buju Banton on the single Holy Ground.
