Firstly, Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mothers out there. In this time of the year, many Mothers are honoured, loved, and remembered. Much love to the Mamas. For “Oldies Sunday“, we go back in time to share a tribute to the Mothers that had our backs. We check out Ranking Dread’sMy Mommy A The Nicest Mommy“.

Produced by Tad Dawkings Sr. and Jr., U. Brown, and Ranking Joe and released through Tad’s Records in 1982, Ranking Dread made a special dedication in “My Mommy A The Nicest Mommy”. The Deejay shared that despite her being a single Mother with no Father present, she ensured that he was raised with morals and values, and all the necessities to make a him a great Man in the world. From his childhood days to now an Adult, he dearly recalls moments with his Mother, and salutes her for doing the best could. If you can, make today special for Mom. Otherwise, make her days special as often as possible.
