Official Business – Where I Came From [Single]

Compton’s own Official Business drops a fiery joint, “Where I Came From,” produced by Byrd, calling out those who leave their roots and code behind for a taste of fame. The man lets off rounds at those showing new colors once the spotlight shines on them.

The beat syncs with the song’s vibe, bringing out a drummer’s touch and the undercurrent of horns and strings, setting a stormy mood for Official to lay it bare and challenge listeners to stay grounded. He goes hard on those cashing in on the trust of their own people for “easy” money, using clever bars and metaphors to get his point across. “Watch this shit fall apart, just wait for the day/ You forgot where you came from, that’s a major mistake/ You used to have morals, but you gave them away/ You made your choice, go ahead and stay where you stay” he spits in the song’s second verse, maintaining a cool but commanding flow that makes each word hit you and stick.

Still, “Where I Came From” is more than just a critique. Official Business stands his ground, showing he won’t fall prey to the same traps that others have fallen into with lines like “I’ll be right here in the neighborhood, making a way/ While fucking with this rap shit, I gotta stay grounded...” Just as much as it’s a jab at shameless clout chasers, it is also a track that speaks volumes about O‘s gritty resolve on and off stage.

All said, Official Business‘ “Where I Came From” is a cut above the rest; it’s a must-hear for its visceral beats and straight-up rhymes. Don’t skip this scorching joint, it truly delivers.
