D'Anthony Carlos is a rapper hailing from Washington D.C., better known by his stage name of GoldLink. This is the lead single from his debut studio album, At What Cost.
That's D.C artist Brent Faiyaz on the hook. GoldLink explained how the collaboration came about to Genius: "It was the most natural song I ever did, because I met Brent, and I was with Brent in LA when we did it together. That was the first time I actually met Brent. We were just vibing, and it kind of worked the way it was. He freestyled his, and I freestyled mine. But I guess the only thing I had in my head, 'Where I'm from.' The subject matter came from thinking about all the people that helped me get to where I was. To get to the position I was to even be able to get to LA and be in the studio at Pulse, to be with Brent."
Another D.C artist Young Jefe (at the time he was known as Shy Glizzy) raps the second verse. GoldLink explained that Jefe was a last minute addition: "It was done and we just felt like he would be good for it. He sent it back immediately and he loved it. It was one of the best verses I heard him do in a minute."
