Kids from Foreign is the debut studio album by Born Jamericans.

Kids from Foreign was the fifth-best-selling reggae album of 1994. It peaked at No. 188 on the Billboard 200.

Critical reception

The Tampa Bay Times wrote that the group's sound "is strictly reggae and their beats are funky and energetic, making it hard to find a low spot on the whole album." The Indianapolis Star concluded that "what's missing on this disc are the bass-driven beats spliced with playfully funky horn riffs that are common elements of dance-hall style reggae."
