Dwayne Reed, 25, is preparing for his first year of teaching and chose to welcome his fourth graders and introduce himself with a rap song. Elementary education might be a corny theme for a hip hop track, but Reed’s rhymes are no joke.

Reed, a first year teacher, is a native of Chicago.

Now, the outside-the-box visual is going viral, having accumulated over 180,000 views on YouTube. Reed is getting a lot of attention for the video. “So then I just continued to pursue it, and here I am”, Reed said.
