Already using his stage name, LAROI performed his hit song Blessings at the school's Music Showcase.
As he took to the stage, he won plenty of cheers from the enthusiastic audience, working the crowd like a seasoned rap star.
Proving just how far he's come in the three short years since the video was taken, LAROI was among the acts featured in the all-star lineup at the Rolling Loud music festival in California over the weekend.

'My mum used to play a lot of hip-hop around the house. She also used to play Erykah Badu and Fugees, Tupac, Kanye [West],' he recounted.
'As I started to get older and go through certain things, I started relating to a lot of the lyrics. Then I just was like, "Damn, I could probably do this s**t myself."'
He said he wrote his first song when he was just six years old, describing it as 'terrible', but at the same time 'pretty f**king good' considering his young age.
