"Welcome to My Hood"
Song

"Welcome to My Hood" is the first single from American hip-hop artist DJ Khaled's fifth album We the Best Forever. The song features American rappers Rick Ross, Plies and Lil Wayne on the verses, and American singer T-Pain on chorus. The album also contains the remix of the song featuring Ludacris, Busta Rhymes, Mavado, Twista, Birdman, Ace Hood, Fat Joe, Game, Jadakiss, Bun B, and Waka Flocka. The song is Khaled's first single to be produced by The Renegades & himself (co-production wise). It was released for digital download in the United States on January 18, 2011.[1]

Featured artist T-Pain has referred to the song as "a sequel" to Khaled's previous song "I'm So Hood", which he was also featured on, along with Ross, Plies, and Trick Daddy.[2]

Music video

Gil Green directed the music video, which includes cameos from Flo Rida, Bow Wow, Tyga, Busta Rhymes, Wale, Meek Mill, Ace Hood, Red Cafe, DJ Drama, Brisco, Mack Maine, Birdman, Yo Gotti, Rich Boy, Polow da Don, Curren$y, Soulja Boy and many more.[3] The video shows T-Pain and Rick Ross posted up in the projects, later joining the rest of the crew for a night shoot against graffiti-covered walls.[4]

Song

The official remix features Ludacris, T-Pain, Busta Rhymes, Twista, Mavado, Birdman, Ace Hood, Fat Joe, Game, Jadakiss, Bun B, and Waka Flocka Flame, released on March 14, 2011.

As with the remix for Khaled's previous song "All I Do Is Win", Khaled himself raps a verse on the "Welcome to My Hood" remix, making a reference to "All I Do Is Win". After the song ends, Khaled shouts the original release date for We the Best Forever, June 28. Also, T-Pain modifies the chorus slightly to "We get fly like a G6, and everybody know this is the remix" from "They outside playing hopscotch/And every know this is the hot spot."

As with the official music video, a 'Behind the Scenes' video to "Welcome to My Hood" was released on April 1.[5]

On April 27, the official music video was released for the remix. Game does not appear in the video, nor does his verse. Rick Ross made a cameo.

AllMusic stated that the remix is "an air horn-fueled Miami anthem with Khaled taking a rare producer's credit".[6]
