Episode Details

Grammy-nominated rapper Latto dropped in on a Bronx third-grade classroom to turn it into a hip-hop haven, teaching kids freestyle rap, songwriting, and the power of self-expression. She broke down the art of freestyling as fun, not flawless, and shared her own journey from childhood independence to becoming a rap icon — all while celebrating the genre’s cultural weight. Students bravely took the mic, even dropping bars about their moms, and ended the day with a live remix of her hit “Mama.” The visit also brought new arts equipment to the school thanks to Amazon — proving that hip-hop isn’t just music, it’s education, empowerment, and legacy.
