With September underway, it’s time to go back-to-school. For some of you, that means those four glorious years of high school.
High school happens to be at the epicenter of those formative years where you’re coming into your own, trying to figure out your sense of self. But with that, can come a lot of awkwardness.
And like you, your favorite hip-pop celebrities have had to walk those shoes at some point in their lives.
