School is back in session! A decade removed from our acclaimed Home Schooled compilation comes a new class of talent show titans.

Afterschool Special: The 123s Of Kid Soul contains 19 tiny tunes ranging from bilingual D.A.R.E.

anthem, to James Brown bio, to young love and life beyond the playground.
