    The Real Young Prodigys released their new song "Where My Bus At" on Aug. 7, and more than a week later it has 27,380 views on YouTube. The group posted on their Instagram that the song was #105 in Louisville in the video platform.

    What is 'Where My Bus At?'

    "Where My Bus At" is a song released by The Real Young Prodigys about the busing issues in Louisville.

    "This rap song highlights the urgent transportation issues addressed by James Craig of the Jefferson County Board of Education," according to the video description.

    "This decision has sparked criticism from parents and community organizations, who question the fairness of the plan."
