T.I.’s Sons, King And Domani, Pay Homage To Their Dad On “Father Like Sons” Track
Hip-Hop is an enduring space, in large part due to the lineages within the genre. T.I.’s sons, King and Domani Harris, showed the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree on their new record “Father Like Sons.”
The brotherly duo debuted the record via Complex on Wednesday (Nov. 29). King, formerly known as Kid Saiyan, steps up to the plate first. “This sh*t just run in the family, I ain’t cappin’ ni**a/I got that side of my pops, I ain’t actin’ ni**a,” the 19-year-old artist raps in the opening verse.
His 22-year-old brother, Domani, takes the baton next. “I’m just so much like my daddy, can’t ignore it no more, how much more do you want?/They call it rap, I call it breathing, I’m achieving much mo’.” Listen to the track below.
“Father Like Sons’ describes my life off of the camera and the person that I am independently,” King said in a statement to Complex. “On this record I share genuinely how I am, I get it from my Pops who instilled this into me as a youngin. I was smaller than everyone and in public school by myself with nobody but me, and my brothers were at their mom house goin’ to different schools.”
He also spoke about how T.I. raised him to stand on his own two feet and not take anyone’s mess. “That’s who I am regardless of where I’m from, and what I come from,” he said. “I stand on my 10 I was trained like that!! I’M NOT NO GANGSTA, NOT NO THUG, NOT DA TOUGHEST, but I STAND ON BUSINESS!!! I ain’t gotta act to be nothing. At da end of da day it’s in me not on me, IF U KNOW ME U KNOW, IF U DON’T GOOD.”
He and his father recently made headlines for an altercation over his “silver spoon” growing up. The argument eventually got physical as TIP put his son in a headlock and King fired back on social media. Check out a clip below.
