In the first installment of the episode, the 25-year-old emcee returns to Centennial High School in Compton, where he attended, and spoke on how his experiences there shaped his Section.80 project, how he hated attending Summer school as he had to pass through gang violence on his way home, and developing a passion for writing and poetry during his school years.
