On “Hi Daddy,” Dro From Watts asks fathers to slow down and listen to their daughters. Pay attention to their opinions. Give them room to be heard. It’s a small moment, but it says plenty about where his head is on “8 Is Enough.”
Dro still cares about a good bar. Across these eight songs, he puts that pen to work on fatherhood, faith, relationships, and the responsibility that comes with having something to say.
“Imagine,” featuring Gwen Bunn, moves between spiritual references, arithmetic, and financial language, working the connection between prophet and profit. On “World Hunger,” bicycle imagery becomes an extended sequence built around bars and spokes. These are the kinds of connections that reward another pass through a verse.
“Gotta Do Right,” featuring Geleigh, takes aim at dishonesty and selfishness, with card-playing language folded into the advice. But “Hi Daddy” gives the project its strongest emotional footing. Dro acknowledges the clashes that happen inside a family, including the frustration of seeing your own temperament reflected in your children. There’s affection in that admission, and some humility.
The shift toward inspiration leaves room for uncomfortable material. “My EX-IT” tells a fractured relationship story through a breakup letter before taking a darker turn. “World Hunger” retains its combative streak, and “4Ever,” featuring Teka, has plenty to say about protecting hip-hop. Dro is still working through the balance between encouraging people and calling them out.
“Da City” brings the focus back to Los Angeles. Its video pulls together Lakers clothing, Kobe Bryant murals, street scenes, and group performances, keeping home visible throughout the rollout.
Next comes the “Weak Days” video featuring Asia Holiday, arriving November 13, 2026. Archival images of Black protest and repression sit alongside Dro in a Fred Hampton shirt, a group wearing Black Riders Liberation Party insignia, and fists raised together. The imagery gives the song’s concerns about work, survival, and racial injustice a historical frame.
The project has support from Ginuwine, Bobby Brown, Grand Puba, DoItAll, Kevin Garnett, Al Harrington, and Trevor Ariza. That’s a notable list. Still, the father talking to his children is the most compelling presence here.
“8 Is Enough” gives Dro’s lyrical ambition a personal stake. He wants the words to reach somebody. On “Hi Daddy,” you know exactly who.
