Young Dro on Being 17 Months Sober, Dad was an Addict for 50 Years with 15 Kids (Part 1) 

Dro told us years ago on Shoulder Lean, “ Don't nobody live with my mom but a bunch of junkies.” I’m glad to see him recover

I wise man once said “Rubber band banks boiyoiiyoiyooong”

This is the topics that I myself need to hear and I feel like I'm not the only one. We all gota shout Vlad out for the work he's doing that's really getting thru to those of us who grew up in the hood without direction.

Keep it up dro! You looking good bro. brothas we never wanna give props because of ego. But dro hands down one of the coldest dressed cats coming up in the game I know he was polo i was more Lacoste lol

Been waiting for another Prez interview! Much respect to Dro! ✊🏽✊🏽

God bless you,I stayed in Bankhead projects with my kids about 1 year,this man told me to move my kids out of Bankhead,praise God I listen too him and left,I stay in the quiet country now.

Shout out to Dro. I remember he told a story about how he got drunk and embarrassed Fantasia in front of Paula Abdul. I'm proud of the homie.

I'm 18months clean he's family 4 life 🏁🏁🏁🙏🏾👏🏾

Congrats.. That's Power

You can look at his skin and tell. Hes not lyin

Dro!!! Lyrically the Ghostface of ATL!

Drooo I'm Clean in this Bihhh🧡👍🙏

stand up king just a set back for a good comeback

Dro, yes lawd. Stay True✊🏿

DRO!

This man sounds like a whole new human being!! I applaud any man who admits he needs help and go and find it. No matter if it’s therapy or rehab, I love this shit Dro 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Man 2006 was a beautiful year lookin back! Young Dro ,TI, Yung Joc! All in their primes with great music

The fact that Dro can overcome this, is super commendable!!

Young Dro is a very under appreciated lyricist from the A. At first I used to think he wasn’t talking about shit until I read the lyrics of “Rubberband Banks” and realize dude is lyrical asf. Very creative writer.

Dro - I’m 17 months sober Also Dro- “Dro , I’m clean in this bitch, now I’m gonna shoulder lean in this bitch.

I'm going on 2 years sober from drugs and alcohol and one thing I've learned is that just because you change and get sober doesn't mean the world changes with you. Because of that I've grown to be a much stronger and discipline person when it comes to addiction. Salute to Dro for being 17 months clean it's a wonderful feeling forreal!

when he said 5 of his mom siblings died from drug abuse...it literally gave me chills...that s**t is deep

One Of the best lyricists in the south

"Don't nobody live with my mom but a bunch of junkies"🎯 one of my fav-it lines from Y-dro ✌🏽

Stay strong brotha. Stay prayed up and try not to give in. I’ve been clean from cigarettes drugs and alcohol for around 7 years and I don’t miss it anymore. The longer you stay clean the easier it gets. Do it for yourself along as your family. People who offer it to you don’t care or understand what your doing. Peace young brotha stay strong as I know you can. One love from the LBC. California love! Peace

I feel what dro said. I don't do shit anymore, not even a beer. Because all that stuff is bad for your health. And I'm trying to eat better. Bless up to everyone, we only get one body take care of it.

The man's Polo game was TOUGH as hell! Salute DRO.

To be able to stay sober and still surround yourself in that environment is a tough thing. 8yrs sober form everything and I know first hand I had to change my entire lifestyle and surroundings to stay that way. Much respect to Dro!!

Gave up weed and alcohol last month Dec. 7th. I know it isn’t shit compared to 17 months, but I hope I can make it that long and more, I just want better for myself.

Dro talent is through the roof. One of the few southern artist that had lyrics along with style.

I broke my femur in 2016 and I'm telling u I'm fighting this shit I still get high but I'm really stop. I'm struggling like God please help I been addicted sine 2016 and strong fent heroin user. How the fuck am I still alive🥺.. I want to be sober this vid gave me hope... I hope all is addicts overcome 1 luv 💞 we all in this together

Proud of you Young Dro keep it up I'm 26 months sober u got this bro

Dro is my favorite rapper and he inspired me with this one. I'm struggling with day 2 from cigs now I want to go for 17 months and counting.

I’m 7 days away from being 8 months sober….never felt better….even my hard days are better sober then with some alcohol to numb the issues

As someone in and out of recovery i respect him shit is hard

Addiction is absolutely real and for him to overcome what he did is absolutely amazing. God will continue to bless him because he evolved within his life. Congratulations Dro

whenever somebody says an exact amount of clean time it usually points to them telling the truth. I personally have 14 and a half months clean rn...I'm glad he came up outta his addiction, it's close to impossible to do so good for him!

I love how open and transparent he was! And so glad he noticed weed is an addiction a lot of folks don’t realize that💯

With all the money and fame it's hard as hell to get a grip on addiction. Shout out to Young Dro for his continuing fight for sobriety. You are a roll model for all addicts fighting addiction. Anybody reading this comment please press like for support on Dro's battle on continuing his sobriety.

Good for him.I hope someone gets something out of his testimony on becoming and staying sober.We are losing so many people because of addiction.🙏🏾

I rewatch Old Dro and Webbie interviews on the breakfast club for laughs like they’re Def Jam standup comedy specials..

His verse on Bankhead is top notch

Congratulations young Dro!! When you look good, you feel good!! Addiction isn’t easy!! I am so proud of him, for choosing his self again🫶🏾

Young dro has one of the best natural voices in hip hop

"Dro!! I'm clean in this b*tch. Now I'm finna shoulder lean in this b*tch"..... Salute Soldier

One of my favorite rappers of all time. I wish he got that major label backing like he did when he first came out. He’d be much bigger than what he is now

Sober Young Dro is something beautiful to see. My boy look healthy, sound clear minded, look happy. I’m happy for him.

Keep going bro, proud of you man. You never know what someone going through, Shawn Prez been killing it lately too!

My man Dro. I’ve been alcohol free for 3 years now, but he’s way stronger than me. I stopped hanging around all of that when I quit. And he’s still in Hip Hop? And around that life? Salute Dro. Way stronger than me.

Proud of you Dro! Salute, you got this!

Still rocking Polo…now that’s commitment 💯💯💯

This is very sad, our community is plagued by drugs. God bless us I’ve always liked Dro and am glad to see he’s doing well. Praying for your continued sobriety ❤❤

Top ten underrated rappers of the last 20 years

Congratulations to Dro, and thank you for solidiying something in me. I recently started a THC break because I realized I haven't really been sober since I was 15.. experimented with all types of stuff I shouldn't have, went through minor alcoholism and the whole nine. I don't want to waste any more of my life to substances. It started as a hobby, turned into more than that. Thank you for making me realize I don't want to do this anymore.

YOUNG DROOOO!!! Since I was 17 years old- loved dro bro!!! His lyrical execution on songs … killler!!

The way he’s talking about addiction you can really hear the struggle he’s experienced. Never would’ve known this about him/his family. 🙏🏾

I pray young dro get a Ralph Lauren endorsement for something.he deserves one !

Tip and Tiny turned bro out

" Do you come from a two family household?" "No, I come from a one PARENT household. " That's a sober man right there...

These phones are some thing else. I was thinking to myself a few days ago “Where the hell Young Dro at?” Glad to see him doing good and in good health.

He looks so healthy! Congratulations Dro.

Young Dro ✊🏾

I love how authentic Prez is and how excited he gets for other people winning!!

It's tough. I did alcohol mainly beer and tons of it. I'd sit in my garage listening to music all day everyday drinking while not at work. It was fun for awhile and I thought I was supposed to cause I watched all the older guys do it in the country. I'd go to work lit and no one really knew but I'd feel bad, hungover mentally drained and so.what physically weak. I realized I had a problem. 2 actually. The drinking and that it was subbing a void. That void is women. Never had any luck with what I wanted. After my cc bill ran upwards of an extra $500, I realized it had to stop. I had enough and the best I could do was resort to escorts and the type I'd like. Well it broke my habit bc I couldn't afford both and now that new hobby is wearing off, although both being expensive. I haven't drank in 6 years

Young Dro is still the truth I remember getting his CD in Middle School definitely can't wait for a Young Dro summer to come back keep it up

Ima big dro fan. I've been laying of the weed cause I'm not at home much I work out of state. But I messed around and picked up Newports as a substitute I gotta shake that man. Never really was a alcohol drinker bad liver. Dro motivated me to really shake it man. He's on my top 5 all time lyrical beast!!!

It's amazing. weed is a addiction. It don't Make ppl look cute after awhile.

Young Dro is a living legend 🙏🏽🐐💯

His friends don't respect him and not true friends if they popping pills, and smoking around him. My best friend was a bad alcoholic and been sober 5 years now. If we go out together to a sports bar or shoot pool I want drink alcohol just cause he there and support him.

I love when Shawn interviews. He’s such a natural 💪🏾

Proud of you dro!!!! Taking accountability and seeking help. It’s good when others wanna see you do great but when you wanna do it for yourself that’s more powerful!!!! Keep growing and continue to stay on top of your sobriety!!! This shit need to be viral asap

We love you Dro. So proud of you. And will continue to pray for you. It's addiction but it's not yours.

Hats of to u dro. It's not easy cause I went through it myself. 1 foot in front of the other and surround yourself with people that love u and SUPPORT u with your new road your heading down.

Dro first album was literally everywhere, that entire album was full of hits that could’ve been turned into videos.

This dude is one of the best lyricist in Hip Hop period.

When I see Dro I remember his verse from Shoulder lean I'm clean in this bih

Salute to Dro …. I’m from the eastside and he’s one of the few westside rappers you’d see all over the city ..

Dro been one of the flyest cats in the game since Shoulder Lean!

A Yung Joc, Boosie and Dro podcast would be 🔥🔥🔥

I’m glad Prez is interviewing Dro and not Glad.

Proud of him!!! I can never forget in one of his songs he said " ain't nothing at my momma house but a bunch of junkies"

Maaayne I remember bumping dro shit in high school. Best thang smoking was my favorite album for a lil min there.

TI called him a snitch an dropped him from his lable. But he did the same shit 🙄
