Meet The Internet’s Favourite Teenager: Russell Horning—The Backpack Kid

Usually when you think about Atlanta celebrities rappers like Gucci Mane come to mind, but one of the most recognisable faces around the city is that of Russell Horning, or The Backpack Kid.

Russell was just a regular kid until he started making videos of himself in his bedroom “flossing” (a dance move he created) with a deadpan expression which quickly went viral.
