For all my proclivities for thuggery, I am a typical middle-class dad. I’m a gangsta rap suburban father!
I tell people I live in Atlanta. Georgia’s outside of Atlanta, absolutely. But my family’s from the very rural south. My family’s from Tuskegee, Alabama. And they’re from Eatonton, Georgia. Places like Greenwood, Georgia, my family is from… so I’ve seen it both ways.
