The Loner Foundation’s scholarship fund will extend outside Atlanta and throughout Georgia so that students at more than his alma mater Langston Hughes High — where fellow rappers Gunna and Playboi Carti graduated from — can have the chance to reap the financial benefits.
“Each class throughout all the schools, throughout Atlanta, Georgia, throughout the states, like bigger and bigger like no cap,” Metro Marrs continued.
