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 - 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.
