Fatherhood and Hip Hop collide in this episode as we sit down with Bret Green, the mind and mic behind @DadGotBars. What started as therapy in rhyme form turned into a viral wave that’s giving parents everywhere a soundtrack to real life. Bret breaks down how fatherhood fuels his art. From honoring his wife’s C-section and postpartum journey with a tribute that touched millions, to flipping clapbacks at trolls into anthems that every Dad can feel.

Bret gets real about the highs and lows: raising 2 kids, educating others on the process of IVF, and making sure presence and love stay at the center of his grind. He talks about breaking cycles from his own childhood and turning family moments into verses that resonate way beyond the studio.

The crew dives in with their own stories: from Manny and EFN repping for their kids’ passions to calling out the madness at youth competitions. By the end, Bret gets his flowers for keeping it authentic, blending fatherhood, Hip Hop, and heart into a movement that proves being a father is the realest role you’ll ever play.
