Jake Zeldin, who struggles with a severe stutter, has turned into an unlikely hip-hop star.

The 14-year-old is using music to find his voice.

Ever since he was a toddler, Zeldin has had a severe stutter. Discovering at summer camp that he can rap fluently changed his life.

The words flow effortlessly when at the microphone, but simply talking can be a huge challenge for Zeldin.
