In this throwback episode of Father Hoods, KGB holds it down solo while Manny's traveling and DJ EFN's on dad duty with sick kids. But the convo doesn’t miss a beat as KGB is joined by Florida’s own Mike Smiff for a real one!

Mike opens up about the balance between being a present father and staying active in the rap game, especially during the pandemic, where he found joy just being home with his family. He also gets vulnerable about becoming a stepdad, the lessons he’s still learning, and how he’s navigating the world of kid-friendly music in a genre known for explicit content. He shares how his own upbringing and strained relationship with his incarcerated father shaped the way he shows up for his own kids today.

From Trick Daddy mentorship to breaking generational cycles, this episode is packed with gems on growth, healing, and showing up even when you’re still figuring it out.
