Images of Black single mothers and daddyless Black children are constantly saturating our media outlets. We’ve heard the narrative for so long that we begin to perpetuate this thought and go along with the misrepresentation. Hip hop is very much a deep thread in the Black community, woven in many facets of our daily lives. As a male-dominated industry, we rarely hear the stories of these men being fathers, along with rappers, producers and students of the hip hop game. Will Feagins Jr. means to steer the conversation and the narrative to a topic that is seldom discussed in a mainstream platform. Divided Time highlights the fatherhoods of independent artists Abyss, Arablak, Damaja D, Ekundayo, Jawz of Life, mikeflo, Snub Zero, Stanza, and Supastition. The men discuss their relationships with their children, the hard choices they’ve made balancing their music dreams and building their families, the examples of fatherhood they witnessed growing up, and what hip hop means to them as parents.
