David Banner Brings “Where You From?” to Times Square With T.I., Juicy J & Duke Deuce
David Banner just took Southern hip-hop to the middle of New York. His “Where You From?” video — featuring T.I., Juicy J and Duke Deuce — premiered today, November 13, across MTV Live, MTVU and BET Jams, with a coordinated takeover on Paramount’s Times Square billboards.
The Mr. Boomtown-directed visual is now live on Banner’s YouTube channel and Vevo. It is a real Southern reunion: Atlanta’s T.I., Memphis legend Juicy J, and Duke Deuce bringing the crunk energy, all on one record built around one question — where you from?
The rollout is the story as much as the record. Banner first released the single through his own website and let listeners pay what they wanted — an independent play straight from the artist, no middleman. The announcement calls that website release an independent success (no sales totals were shared) and notes growing Urban radio support and club play behind the record.
The Jackson, Mississippi native has been stacking visibility: the video launch follows his EBONY cover feature, “Head & Shoulders Above The Rest,” and points toward a new album expected in 2027 — title and date not yet announced.
Banner’s résumé runs deep beyond his own music — a Grammy-winning producer with credits alongside Lil Wayne, T.I., Chris Brown and Snoop Dogg, plus screen roles in Lee Daniels’ The Butler, Ride Along and Empire.
