Lil Peppi: 10-Year Old Eco-Rapper

Cardell Hopkins, aka "Lil Peppi," has been rapping since he was 3 years old. While his lyrics have always been positive, Lil Peppi has taken an environmental turn and has become an eco-rapper. Now at the mature age of 10, he has performed nationally, has made a video for Whole Foods, and has won a Sierra Club award.
