"Where We Come From" is the debut album from Jamaican superstar Popcaan. Executive produced by Dre Skull and featuring productions from Dre Skull, Dubbel Dutch, Jamie Roberts, Anju Blaxx and Adde Instrumentals, Popcaan's first full length offering sees his signature melodies and uplifting tones on thirteen original tracks. As musicologist Wayne Marshall writes in his essay on the album:
"Where We Come From" gives voice, as the best reggae does, to the contradictions of life in a society rife with inequities and yet so rich. Whether odes to the ghetto or the good life, Popcaan's lyrics bring realist portraits and utopian visions into dynamic tension. Songs about struggle and sex and happiness occupy the same space because they do. And whatever the topic, Popcaan's infectious positivity comes through.
Ten years on, Where We Come From still holds up as a singular mission statement that made waves around the world and helped cement Popcaan as a global superstar. This 10 Year Deluxe Edition includes two previously unreleased songs, "Don't Finesse Me" and "Beat The Struggle," and an acoustic reimagining of the title song, "Where We Come From."
