Teen has stutter but not when he raps- Ausia Jones
A thirteen year old boy, named Jake Zeldon, was diagnosed with a speech disorder at an early age. Jake started speaking at the age of two. The single words that Jake said were easy to understand, but the full sentences were a lot harder to comprehend. Throughout school Jake was bullied by his classmates and even teachers. Jake's parents invested a lot of time and money on therapy, but it didn't help. At ten years old Jake went to a summer camp and did a rap battle. Jake found out he was pretty good at it. The rhythm of the rapping made the stutter go way completely when he raps. Jake also had the an amazing experience to rap for Drake. Jake, also known as Lil Jake, is becoming more popular day by day and performs in front of thousands of people. Jake's haters became his motivators.
