In an appearance on Good Morning America, rap star Jack Harlow surprises two extraordinary teachers with gifts. While on the show, the artist explained to the GMA hosts why the educators totally deserve it.
Two teachers in Georgia showed their rap skills in an original video
Two teachers at Monroe Comprehensive School in Albany, Georgia, made the news with a viral rap video in the spirit of Jack Harlow’s “What’s Poppin.” By writing Harlow’s catchy beat, Callie Evans and Audri Williams wrote original lyrics for the song to welcome students back to school. Several of the school’s cheerleaders served as background dancers in the video, which went viral.
“No COVID-19, I’m not worried about a thing. When it comes to me, it does not have to stop, ‘recalls Audri Williams. Callie Evans follows up on her colleague, with her difficult verse, “What’s poppin? Mrs. Evens on the beat, so tap in. You have options. But you have to pass my class. No floppin.”
The song recognizes the pandemic and outlines the high-quality virtual learning environment. With the fun lyrics and smooth dance moves shown in the video, it’s easy to rock to the beat of the song.

Williams revealed to GMA that the wildly popular music video is not her first attempt at rap. She explained that several years ago, as a neophyte teacher, she made an end to the school year. But this time, she decided to work with her colleague and friend, Evans.
‘The idea came about four years ago when it was my first year [of] to teach. And instead of doing a rap-to-school rap, I actually did a fast-paced end of the school year to just celebrate my first year of being successful as a first-year teacher, ‘Williams recalls. ‘That year, Mrs. Evans came to see me in Monroe. We were already friends before she came. So when she came, I was so excited and I wanted to keep the rap kind to keep the morale of the school up. So, I asked Mrs. Evans if she could join me in the next school rap, and she was down. And from there it was history. ”

Evans explained to GMA that the original texts have a special purpose. The goal of the teachers was to motivate their community and beyond.
“Because Albany was dramatically affected by COVID-19, we basically wanted to motivate not only our students, our teachers, but our community,” Evans said. ‘We have a lot of people who lost their lives, and I’m sure the students were discouraged from coming to school even in those circumstances. So, we just wanted to show them how important it is to overcome adversity, by pushing, no matter what. And no matter where you go, you can always be motivated and bring it to the top. ‘

Williams and Evans showed shock and surprise when Harlow appeared live GMA chat. “I can not even tell you how great you are,” Harlow glared.
“I love you,” Harlow continued. ‘I grew up with teachers who had a huge impact on me all my life, and it stuck with me. That what you care about in society is invaluable, that I can not thank you enough for doing the job you do. ‘
As if Harlow’s appearance was not enough of a treat, star Williams and Evans presented with gifts to show his gratitude for their work in the sphere of education. ‘Just as a small sign of my appreciation, I wanted to give both of you $ 2000 gifts to treat yourself to whatever you want. I appreciate you doing what you do. That, thank you so much. And thanks for making my song. ‘
