DADDY & ME

He's a rapper, an actor – and an author, too. In 2001, Smith put the words of his 1998 Bill Withers remake "Just the Two of Us" to paper in a book of the same name. It chronicled a father-son relationship from birth to young adulthood (based on his own experience with son Trey, now 12) and urged fathers to teach their sons honor, dignity and respect.
