There's a song called "Stay" on Fabolous' album Loso's Way that gave him a platform to publicly inquire how a father could deny his son. It's a feeling of personal reflection the rapper had when he had his son Johan Jackson prior to creating the song. In a recent interview, Loso dove deeper into why having his son means so much to him and how he changed his career goals.
I had just had a son prior to doing the record and it made me reflect on my father being absent in my life. It just related to me about how I felt about my son and it was kind of a weird moment for me because if I felt like this about my son, why didn't my father feel like this about me?
Things are different, too— different times, and different generations, and it's a different relationship, too. His relationship with my mom might have been different than my relationship with my child's mother. It was something that came naturally together for me, so it was something I definitely wanted to talk about and I felt like people related to it going through the same thing.
