One early morning, some time in the 1990's.

[Alarm]

[Adam]
Oh, just five more minutes. Man.

[Mom]
Adam. Adam. Adam!

[Adam]
Damn, Mom. What? What is it?

[Mom]
I'm late for work. Are you ready for school?

[Adam]
Oh. (coughs) Mom, em, I think I'm sick, I'm too sick to go to school. No, for real, for real, I'm l—, I'm ill, you know I'm ill.

[Mom]
Really? Are you as sick as you say you are?

[Adam]
Yes, Mom, I'm that sick. (coughs) I'm that sick. For real.

[Mom]
Alright. I don't have time to argue with you. I'm late for work and there's some Sunny D and Lunchables in the fridge. I'll see you later. Get better. Love you.

[Adam]
Yes! Time to go watching TV. Let's see what's on.

A Bay Area rapper who rose to internet fame following his 2010 release of After School Special, a nostalgic mixtape with artful lyrics from popular television shows from the late 80s and the 90s when Adam was a kid.

Since then, he has remained an underground rapper, while not signing with any major labels and being his own promoter. Though many have joined him on his journey to stardom, he still has a long way to go before he will be acknowledged by the hip-hop elite.
