The youth choir at Greater Zion Church in Compton, CA received a great surprise when rapper Common dropped by their rehearsal. In collaboration with President Obama’s initiative My Brother’s Keeper Alliance, Common says it’s important that young men of color realize their dreams and purpose matter, because it “will make their world better, which then in turn will make the world better.”

And their reactions were just priceless!
