Black and disabled rappers 4 Wheel City: It's like you're doing a double life sentence

"Imagine that, being black and disabled. That's a double drama. It's like your voice is not heard in a double way" - Rick Velasquez of the rap duo 4 Wheel City told BBC about being a black person and being disabled in the USA. "It's like you're doing a double life sentence" - his partner Namel Norris says. However, they have received global acclaim and raised the prominence of Krip-Hop - a sub-genre of Hip-Hop which puts disabled matters front and centre and lets them express the "double drama" of being in two minority groups. Both have been disabled in accidents when they were teenagers - Velasquez was shot by a stray bullet while he was coming back from school, and Norris was shot by his cousin who was playing with a gun.
