Derrell “Sadiq" Davis had a rocky relationship with school when he was younger. He was a good student, but things kept getting in his way — whether it was being bullied, or not being able to resist the call of the streets. But, what kept him going was knowing that getting a degree would make his mom proud. Uncuffed producer Maurice "Rahim" Bradshaw interviewed Sadiq about his relationship with his mom and with his education.
