STEEL WHEELS: PITTSBURGH HIP HOP FOR CEREBRAL PALSY!

HEY PITTSBURGH! hope yinz all plan on makin it out to this event for a great cause! If you been livin under a rock, I'll putchyinz D.  Ramon Luis Silva Jr. aka @DaKidInWheels is a die-hard Pittsburgh Hip-Hop fan and if you haven't guessed, is in a wheelchair and lives with the disability Cerebral Palsy. But this hasn't slowed Da Kid down a bit. I reached out to him to get a few words about CP and how having the disability has affected his life. Take a read . Mad uplifiting! This is a good dude and true believer of the PGH HIP HOP SCENE. (not to mention a huge B White fan!)

"Cerebral Palsy is a disability that never held me down. Even though I wasn't born with CP, i never let the fact of having it get in the way of what I wanted to do with my life. It was a medical accident that happen at my birth. But cp never disabled my ability to do normal stuff like play sports, go to prom and attend college.

Pittsburgh Hip Hop means a lot to me because I can relate to most of the mc's like the Come Up ( Vinny radio & Fran), Bwhite, Mayo, and Varsity Squad (Beedie & Jon Quest). The MC I can relate to the most is B. White because many of his struggles he raps about in his songs, I can feel his hunger. Being the best but everyone always doubt him, which is similar to my life because many people doubt me on stuff I wanted to do with my life and now I'm doing big things like B. White is now. Another similarity me and B are very ambitious, we are determined to get what we want & work hard for it. This event is not only about raising money it's a showcase of the music that gets me through my day and my love for Pittsburgh hip hop."
