As many might know, Naughty by Nature’s derivation is East Orange. It’s interesting how they mention is the “underground” as many other Hip Hop arists who have managed to deviate their music from the mainstream came from East Orange as well.
They include:
Chino Xl
Lauryn Hill
Queen Latifha

Pun’s father died when he was young (weird enough, he died when his son was young too, the same way too) and he says that is a big reason why he had the ‘hood’ lifestyle he did; because he didn’t have a father figure to take care of him while life was going wrong.
Not so much a father as a father figure, it’s about 99.9% percent essential for an adolescent to have a father figure in his life. A father is someone who would keep order in the house, inherit and elicit morals out of his sons, give them a role model and most of all a friend.
Without a father figure is usually where a child strays; it builds an inferiority complex that makes the youngling feel alone, betrayed, unwanted, unloved, which all induces anger and depression. At this point, due to vulnerability, they’ll be easily influenced from the “love” they get out on the streets which leads to crime and gangs – A deadly vocation.
Pun, even though the lifestyle he lives, understands the importance of having a father in a child’s life. It can make or break a kid, especially at such a young age and in poverty. Pun is willing to mollify his anger just do what’s right for his kid.
