"Little Ghetto Boy" is a soul song composed by Earl DeRouen and Edward Howard, and first recorded in 1971 by Donny Hathaway for his 1972 Live album. The song also appeared on the Come Back, Charleston Blue soundtrack later that year, in studio quality.
Forty-three years later, the song was then covered by Hathaway's daughter Lalah Hathaway for her 2015 Live album. The cover was then remixed in January 2016 under the title "Ghetto Boy" with a guest appearance from Snoop Dogg and Robert Glasper, and was released via eOne Music.[3]
