Krip-Hop Nation<\/strong> is an international network of Hip-Hop & other musicians with disabilities with a few chapters around the world what we call Mcees With Disabilities (MWD) in Germany, UK & Africa. Krip-Hop is a community as well as style of music, an artistic space where people with disabilities can speak out and speak back to the social structures that exclude people based on disability, race, sexuality, and a host of other marginalized identities. <\/span><\/p>\n Source: <\/span>http:\/\/kriphopnation.com\/krip-hop-nation-will-turn-ten-years-old-in-2017\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Please note this chat will discuss disabled musicians and Black disabled musicians in particular.
