Straighten up your crown King”
MC Lyte praises the dedication and commitment of men who have overcome challenges to embrace love and responsibility.

MC Lyte shares her inspiration behind the single, stating, “There has never been an anthem like this that celebrated men who are committed to their families. It’s about time we recognize them as Kings who deserve praise for their guidance and protection.”
