Cam tells the 1515 boys, that despite going to college, he never graduated high school.
“I went to college and didn’t graduate from high school. I got to
college and my coach brought the GED to my room like, ‘Here, you
graduated, congratulations.’ Even though it’s a junior college … I
never took my SATs coming out of high school. I was playing basketball
and this junior college wanted me to come down and play basketball.
When I got there, my GED was sitting on the bed waiting for me. I never
took a test or anything.”
Amazing. *Shreds High School diploma*
Here’s a another track featuring the rapper eater and Nicki Minaj off Smallz’s SSTV Volume One. The rhymes are pretty ka-ka, but at least the beat is hot. Isn’t that what count’s these days?
“I’m such a star, they singing the star spangle.” Really, Nicki?
“I Get Crazy”

Masego continues to show his creativity and versatility with Studying Abroad: Extended Stay. The combination of live instrumentation, smooth vocals, and West Indian influences makes this project an exciting listening experience. Adding new collaborations with talented artists gives fans even more reasons to explore the album and appreciate its musical diversity. I also appreciate how music and learning can connect through creativity, exploration, and new experiences. In the same way that listeners explore different musical styles, people can improve their practical skills by learning useful techniques such as "How to calculate proportions easily". Understanding proportions can make everyday calculations, comparisons, and problem solving much simpler. This is a great reminder that exploring new ideas can be rewarding in music, education, and daily life.
