This Boy Stuns Talent Show Judges with Original Rap at Age 13

When Patches walked onto the America’s Got Talent stage in 2018, no one expected the quiet, suit-wearing 13-year-old to be the night’s biggest surprise. He looked polite, soft-spoken, and maybe a bit nervous — until the music started.

From the first beat, everything changed. Patches launched into an original rap filled with clever lyrics, fast flow, and real confidence. The judges’ faces lit up almost instantly — they weren’t just entertained, they were impressed. His verses carried messages about chasing dreams and staying true to yourself, delivered with skill far beyond his years.

What made the performance even more powerful was the contrast. No one saw it coming. His formal appearance and calm demeanor made the moment he started rapping feel like a plot twist — and it worked brilliantly.

By the time he finished, the crowd was cheering and the judges were full of praise. What started as a simple audition turned into one of the most memorable moments of the season — not because of flashy effects, but because of raw talent and bold originality.

Patches didn’t just audition — he flipped the script on what a rap performance can look like.
