Background
Miller premiered "100 Grandkids" at the Grassroots Music Festival in Council Bluffs, Iowa, on July 31, 2015.[1][2] The song was officially released by Warner Bros. Records as the lead single from his third studio album and major label debut GO:OD AM on August 7, 2015.[3]
"100 Grandkids" is a two-part song, split between "Grandkids"—promising to give his mother grandkids—and "100 Grand"—recalling when he "first made a hundred grand".[3] The first part was produced by Sha Money XL, and the second by ID Labs.[3] Miller described the two parts as "thinking about your future" and "thinking about yourself", respectively.[4] The song samples P. Diddy, Black Rob and Mark Curry's "Bad Boy for Life" and Norman Connors' "Last Tango in Paris".[5]
Music video
The music video was released on the same day as the official audio. Directed by Nick Walker, the video is split into two parts like the song, beginning with Miller rapping as the moon in a play performed by children dressed in costumes. It transitions to Miller rapping in an empty parking lot beside a car bouncing with hydraulics.[3][6]
