My right hand Poppa Doc I see
Took me from a boy to a man so I always had a father
When my biological didn’t bother”
Referenced on tracks by numerous greats from De La Soul to Nas, Mos Def to Kanye, T.R.O.Y. is notorious in the world of hip-hop. Over a beautiful saxophone riff and a smooth jazz baseline, CL Smooth unravels memories of a fractured but ultimately wholesome upbringing. CL explains how he never knew his father, but his uncle stepped in and ensured he had a positive male role model in his life. Ultimately Pete Rock and CL Smooth paint a colorful celebration of family unity, both literally and metaphorically.
