Cali Swag District & Michael Jackson, 'Where You Are' -- New Song

Cali Swag District

Cali Swag District, the same group that taught us all how to 'Dougie,' has just come out with a brand new song, titled 'Where You Are.' And, this time around, they've decided to sample a classic hit from none other than Michael Jackson.

The centerpiece of the new song is Jackson's 1972 hit 'I Wanna Be Where You Are,' which has been previously covered by Marvin Gaye and The Fugees, among others. In the hands of Cali Swag District, though, the song truly takes on an entirely new form.

Although Jackson's timeless voice and early Motown influence pervade the new song, Cali Swag District's lyrical dexterity and flow add a distinctly hip-hop hue to their musical mosaic. With each rapper taking his turn to drop a tight rhyme, the men from Inglewood, Ca. firmly put their own stamp on an undeniably classic R&B anthem.

'Where You Are' is featured on Cali Swag District's debut studio album, 'The Kickback,' which is due out Oct. 12. To hear 'Where You Are,' tune in to the New R&B First station on AOL Radio.
