Back-to-back throwback energy on Father Hoods, and this time the crew is joined by the legendary Edo. G! The episode kicks off with DJ EFN shining light on Operation Underground Railroad, an org dedicated to rescuing victims of sex trafficking. From there, Ed takes us inside the story behind his iconic album “Be A Father To Your Child”—written before he was even a dad—explaining how it was a message to men about stepping up and doing right by their kids. Now that he’s a father himself, he reflects on how his journey has reshaped the way he connects to that music.

The conversation dives deep into Ed’s family dynamics, from navigating life as a stepdad to raising his own kids. He shares his thoughts on today’s music scene, breaks down his documentary “I Gotta Have It,” and opens up about growing up fatherless while being heavily influenced by his mother’s love for music. The crew also gets real about the pandemic, parenting talks, disciplining kids, and the hurdles of raising teenagers. With raw stories, timeless perspective, and gems for every parent, this episode is packed with lessons that hit across generations!
