Krip-Hop Nation Ent.

People with disabilities have faced police brutality and profiling but to date there have been very little cultural work/music on this critical issue.  In the 80’s & 90's I got very heavy into this issue, wrote articles, poetry, organized forums and attending hearings with other community activists like Idriss Staneley Foundation, ISArC, Poor Magazine, Cop Watch and others.  Krip-Hop Nation & LA's 5th Battalion produced this Hip-Hop Mixtape CD by artists with disabilities rapping and speaking about stories of police brutality/profiling against us as people with disabilities.  Artists have come from all over the US & UK and Germany in a diverse pool with their own tracks for this mixtape CD.  Produced by Krip-Hop Nation and 5th Battalion and promote by all artists and UK Hustle for educational use only.  Thanks to DJ Qua of 5th Battalion, UK Hustle, all the artists, ISArC, Cop Watch, October 22nd Coalition, Poor Magazine, Sa Francisco Bayview Newspaper for the support and Emmitt Thrower who will be doing a film documentary on this issue thus following the process of producing this Mixtape.  To all the families who DISABLED love ones were abuse and/or killed by police, you kept this dream alive!  MUCH LOVE.   Producers:  DJ Quad of 5th Battalion & Leroy F. Moore of Krip-Hop Nation  Copyright: October 2011 Cover art by:  DJ Quad CO-Sponsor -The October 22nd Coalition to Stop Police Brutality, Repression and the Criminalization of a Generation has been mobilizing every year since 1996 for a National Day of Protest on October 22nd, bringing together those under the gun and those not under the gun as a powerful voice to expose the epidemic of police brutality.
