Namel of 4 Wheel City- a hip hop duo celebrating diversity and inclusion for people with disabilities- stops by VPR Radio to chat with hosts Qianathegoddess and DJFmi.

His music and performances have been seen on CNN, The White House, Paralympics, Revolt TV and many more and he's worked with some incredible mainstream artists, including Stevie Wonder, Snoop Dogg and Jadakiss- to name a few.
Further, Namel is the Co-Founder of RAMPD, Recording Artists and Music Professionals with Disabilities, a global network of music professionals with a mission to amplify disability culture, promote inclusion, and advocate for accessibility within the Music Industry.
