On rap:

I don't like it at all

- Malcolm

Rap is meaningless.

-Alec

Yeah, I mean I like it a little. I don't listen to much of it anymore because of how much I like metal now. In my phone I only have like five rap songs and everything else is probably metal.

- Jarad

On inspiration for music:

Well, people judge Malcolm about… he wears nail polish and I dealt with it once and I see what Malcolm felt because everybody judged him, but I ignored it and I think he does too.

 On school:

I hate every other class except science. Science is so interesting and fascinating.

-Jarad

I like science and social studies. Science is interesting, all those cells, stuff like that. And social studies is like a comic book with all those wars and fights.

-Malcolm

My two favorites are ELA and social studies.
