The day that many celebrate and honor fathers is here and this Father’s Day, June 16, 2013, those involved in the Memphis hip hop community are tweeting their appreciation and showing love to all fathers.
As MemphisRap.com posted earlier:
“It is easier for a father to have children than for children to have a real father.”
Rapper Lil Wyte, a well known proud father as displayed in the Father’s Day song “Something Special” featuring himself along with Wyte Music label mate and fellow friend rapper Miscellaneous, Soopa Nic, HighRolla, and Yawk, seems to have similar thoughts tweeting out his “Happy Father’s Day” to quote “all the real dads that handle their business.”
#HappyFathersDay to all the real dads that handle their business. I salute you all. It's not easy raising these heathens.
