Graphic: Taking Care of Grandma Rap

I know you’ve been waiting to see it, because I’ve been telling everyone about it for a month, so I won’t delay any longer…

Without further ado………….

I present to you…………

the Taking Care of Grandma Rap!

Now Mike Jones isn’t the only rapper to writing about Grandma 😘

SHOUTOUTS

THANKS TO MY GIRL, RUE, for being my hype (wo)man and singing the hooks in the studio! Seriously, you made the song!

Thanks to Mogul Filming Group for recording this fresh video 📹
Thanks to Jaz at 64111 Studios who helped me lay down this track 🎙️
Thank you to Mill Clinton for the dope beat 🎹

And last but most definitely not least, I couldn’t have done this without the help of Walter Edwin, AKA Walt Lee/Dun Deala/the Popper, owner of the IMKC Store and active making a difference in Kansas City, who helped me figure out the steps I needed to take to produce this song. #salute
