"Tyler, the Creator makes a trip to his alma mater, South Bay High School, to deliver inspirational words and a surprise gift to the student body in honor of being named Apple Music Artist of the Year. It's safe to say Tyler, the Creator caused an Earfquake at Hawthorne High School on Friday afternoon. The graduating class at the South Bay High School gathered in the school's auditorium for what they thought was a spirit rally. Little did they know rapper Tyler, the Creator was waiting, ready to surprise them with words of inspiration and iPad Pros."
"Surrounded by screaming teenagers and a sea of recording phones, the rapper was taken back to when he was a student at the school from 2005 to 2006. He shared memories of doodling on his pants, rap battling in the courtyard and skating down El Segundo Boulevard with dreams of being famous. Being from this city, man it's kind of like a weird place, because it's not Inglewood and it's not Manhattan Beach, it's just its own little world. I always would tell myself, One day I'm really going to make it out of this place and make something of myself, said the rapper from the center stage. The event was hosted by with Apple Music, who had named the 34-year-old rapper as its artist of the year. Prior to Tyler's appearance, the streamer brought together local vendors like Crenshaw Juice Co. and Happy Ice, a photo booth and a DJ for the seniors to enjoy."
