Mendo Dope’s “Why We Grow” brings Mykal Rose into the group’s garden-centered music world. The official Mendo Dope press kit identifies the collaboration and describes it as recorded outdoors in the garden.
The featured collaboration
The artist site lists a 5:21 “Why We Grow” credited to Mendo Dope featuring Mykal Rose. It separately offers a 4:46 live version by Mendo Dope Band. Those are distinct listening choices, not interchangeable track entries.
Release history and the 2019 edition
Amazon Music’s The Chronicles entry lists the collaboration with a May 16, 2019 date and Kingmaker Online release notices. That is the date for the compilation edition, not a claim that the song first appeared in 2019.
An Apple Music entry on Live in the Garden Season 2 displays January 1, 2016. The separate catalog dates identify different release contexts; this profile does not assign one unverified worldwide debut date.
- Song: Why We Grow
- Lead act: Mendo Dope

Where to listen
The artist’s press kit provides the collaboration alongside the separately labeled band version. The Amazon and Apple links identify the respective compilation and album entries, so listeners can select the release they mean.
