Namel “Tapwaterz” Norris and Ricardo “Rickfire” Velasquez, the hip-hop artists behind 4 Wheel City<\/a>, debuted their new single “Mainstream” at a special event at the U.S. Capitol Visitors Center in Washington, D.C. on December 10. The event, “Financial Inclusion and Shared Prosperity: the Next Frontier for People with Disabilities,” was organized by the National Disability Institute<\/a> (NDI), a nonprofit organization dedicated to building a better economic future for people with disabilities and their families, to provide recommendations to cut the disability poverty rate in half by 2025 and advance economic self-sufficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 Wheel City’s new song “Mainstream” highlights the challenges of poverty and disability and promotes the message “I can work, I can dream, I can be so mainstream.” The song will be used by NDI to begin a conversation in 2016 between the public and private sectors to examine the challenges of disability and economic inclusion for the 22 million working-age adults with disabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mainstream is now available for download on iTunes<\/a>. Proceeds from sales will go toward implementing strategies to help individuals with disabilities living in poverty achieve their dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
