NYC Dad James Lopez, who blogs at Cool4Dads / #FatherhoodIsLit, shares some of the parenting lessons he uses from a song he loved in his childhood, the Notorious B.I.G. tune “Juicy.”

NYC Dad Josh Kross, who produces the acclaimed rap music podcast The Cipher, discusses a classic-rock station staple from Pink Floyd he uses to encourage his son to take advantage of his time as a kid.

Designer Daddy blogger Brent Almond talks us about a song he wrote and recorded for his son that has made a big impact in their family’s life.

NYC Dad Jason Green, who blogs at One Good Dad blogger, finds solace in a famous Rolling Stones song that tells us about how his dreams have changed — for the better — since becoming a father.
