by Leroy Moore/PNN The Black Kripple is the only radio show that plays the music of musicians with disabilities from Blues to Hip-Hop and everything in between. We also play local and global artists and news reports from PoorNewsNetwork. Other stations told me my voice was not right for radio because of my disability and others didn't see a market for disabled musicians but finally Black Blind Blues Krip-Hip-Hop has found a home on pirate radio, BLR 104.1FM. After dealing with White liberals and Black radicals, we are finally at home in a true collective. So tune in every Sunday morning from 8:00 to 10:00 a.m. with hosts the Leroy Moore and Vivgurl. We get music from all over the country and world. From as far away as the Motherland to right here in the states, we play the music of artists with disabilities, who are discriminated against by the music industry and mainstream radio stations. We don't play top ten hits. We play the artists with disabilities that have been looked over for years. We play more than the artists people already know about, like Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles. We get down n dirty in the streets with artists like H.U.S.H., Fezo, Cripple Crew, Rob DA Noize Temple, King Snyder, Dirty Wic, Miss Money, and MF GRIMM and others. We cover Metal, Hip-Hop, Blues, Jazz, Spoken Word, Country, Doo Whoop, Instrumental, R&B/Soul, World music and more, all by artists with disabilities. We also play the music of artists without disabilities, who have strong social justice themes like Immortal Technique, Paris and more. Black Blind Blues Krip-Hip-Hop also brings you the news and interviews of musicians with disabilities focusing on new CDs, books, movies, clothing lines and music videos. So join us every Sunday in the morning from 8-10am on Berkeley Liberation Radio 104.1FM or online at www.berkeleyliberationradio.org Your Hosts: The Black Kripple aka Leroy & Vivgurl Leroy |
