July 07, 2020 #96: In Father Hoods We Trust feat. 38 Spesh
When you grow up without a father the assumption is you'll end up repeating the cycle with your own kids. We've shown on the podcast through the many guests we've had that the truth is, we learn from our father's mistakes how to DO BETTER. On this episode we kick it with NY rapper/producer 38 Spesh.
You'll learn...
How having a kid in his teens made 38 Spesh gain a sense of responsibility early
Why being a Dad is more than jus providing financially
What steps 38 Spesh took that has benefited him financially to ride out COVID-19
The significance of Kool G. Rap in Spesh's life and rhymes (and why it took 4 years for him to release "Son of G Rap")
Fire up them wireless headphones and lock in with your resident Father Hoods (DJ EFN, KGB & Manny Digital) right now.

June 03, 2020 #91: Father
We're releasing on a Wednesday this week (not on our normal Tuesday) as a symbol of pause and solidarity on Black Out Tuesday with the industries and individuals looking for justice and meaningful change. The injustices toward people of color and general imbalance of our society is unacceptable and we need to INSIST IT STOP.
Now, on the latest episode of the Father Hoods... DJ EFN turned a year older! He talks about this new birthday experience along with the latest on the highly anticipated delivery of his son in BABY WATCH. We learn about "the long sleep" and its implications for when E and his lady are to head home after delivery at their birthing center.
The Father Hoods spend some time thinking back to when they were in the throws of child labor and what they remember from their respective experiences.
