Girl Dad Nation

Welcome to Girl Dad Nation. I'm Matthew Krekeler, proud father of four amazing young girls, and I started this podcast to learn from other dads with daughters and hopefully share some helpful tips that I have learned as well. I'll be interviewing awesome dads from a variety of backgrounds and for quick tips on specific topics, check out the pods labeled "DAD HACKS." If you have a question, comment, or dad hack of your own, send me an email at: GirlDadNationPodcast@gmail.com And if you like this podcast, please leave a 5-Star review and share it with a friend. Thank you for being on this amazing journey with me. There is no greater joy than being a dad!

Mike aka Dad Rap

Meet Dad Rap
Dad Rap is what it sounds like—a dad turning the chaos of parenting into clever, clean hip-hop. Inspired by LL Cool J and the golden era of rap, he’s been crafting rhymes since age 12, when he got a Casio Rapman and debuted at his 6th-grade band concert. Now with over 30 years of experience, he blends old-school beats with real-life dad moments—like bribing kids with Matchbox cars or surviving tantrums in Target. His lyrics are non-explicit and full of humor, making his music perfect for parents and kids alike. Whether he’s rapping about snack time or bedtime, Dad Rap brings heart, humor, and nostalgia to every verse. It’s not just music—it’s a love letter to parenthood, a throwback to 90s hip-hop, and proof you can still chase your dream with a diaper bag over your shoulder.
