Born in George Washington Hospital, but forged in PG County – pristine rapper Taylor Mf’n Port is going places especially if his most recent single “G.O.G” is anything to go by.
The dynamic rapper with a zany voice and infectious song-writing and rapping dexterity is not letting up on this emotional single as he gears towards releasing his sophomore album. The “Lightskin” emoter can thread bars through any kind of beat but his single “G.O.G” that features sampled vocals from his legendary granddad is set to tear you up as you try warm yourself through the Winter chills as it shows his more vulnerable side letting his guard down as an artist.
“It is a single dedicated to my grandparents” he told Remixd Mag.
“I remember when I first started doing music and my grandma asked me to make her a song with no curse word in it so she can listen to my music. Well I took that idea and went above and beyond with it. My grand pops use to be in a church group called “The Gospel Revaluations” I use to love hearing my grand pops sing. It would make me cry sometimes. For years I’d ask him to sing for me and because he’s a lot older now he can’t really hit any notes. I wanted his voice to live on throughout history. So I took one of his old tapes and stripped his vocals from it. Now I’m on a song harmonizing with my grandfather. It really makes me so happy! This was actually my Christmas gift to them both. He always wanted to be an artist so I made him one. Any credit as a artist I get for this song he gets the same credit! As well as his old church group! The song itself took me over a year to start and complete but after thanks giving 2021 I had a lot more motivation to finish it.”
With the mood set by his rich grand dad Robert A. Medley Sr’s country vocals, who is also on the song’s collage-inspired cover art, he sings “I know our way is gonna seem hard, but remember with God for us, and the whole world against us, all we got to do is Hold On” in a touching intro before the instrumental veers into a bouncy, touching, and equally poignant medley that just takes you back, and Taylor spits his heart out melodiously like a true vet.
“This project is really just about my grandparents and how much I love them. I made a lot of mistakes growing up and no matter what they always loved me. May grandma would always sneak $20 in my pants pockets even when they had nothing! My grand pops would always call me Scooby Doo head… even when I was putting myself in jail. This project is just a small symbol of my love for them. I want to share it with the world!” Taylor unveiled to us.
In an introspective but vibey track we could all relate to in terms of accountability of where we have come from and appreciating our loved ones while they are still alive – this track is a perfect symphony to just sit back and chill to – probably spark a blunt to, or just take a light night drive to and feel it permeate through your bones.

Taylor is also expected to drop a single off his second album:
“I have an album dropping on Valentine’s Day Titled “MF’n Love” which will be all love songs. As well as a single dropping on January 21st 2022. I also have a lot of music that going to be released this year. Working on new flows and a new sound. As well as international sounds”
