Emmy Award Winning Music & Lyricist Keith Jones from the Netflix Documentary Rising Phoenix

Time to celebrate the ultimate #blackexcellence✊🏾 #disabledblackexcellence the smooth, motivated, passionate Emmy Winning Keith Jones @dasoultoucha who just received an Emmy for his outstanding music & lyrics in the #Netflix award winning documentary "Rising Phoenix" Keith and I first connected over our shared passion of disabled advocacy & badass #DisabilityActivism merch. KEITH the Boston-based rapper/activist and Krip-Hop Nation’s Co-Founder I was looking at the stories and saying, ‘Yo, this is what life is,” Jones says of the impact "Rising Phoenix" had on his contribution. “It’s not about, ‘Oh, I can’t use my legs, I can’t do this.’ It’s always about finding the strength in yourself to pursue what you love. It was amazing to me how that connected.” Jones describes “Rising Phoenix” as “a global anthem that’s about nothing but the power of the human spirit,” and both Doman and Hickman felt similarly when they were recording their parts in their at-home studios. “It’s funny — all three of us were on the same exact mission, and we never even met,” says Doman of Hickman and Jones. “We’ve been on the same path and rap about the same things, and it was great to see that, finally — that there are people who feel what I feel, and are rapping about what I’m feeling right now. Oftentimes, when I collaborate with other people, they don’t have disabilities. They don’t get where I’m coming from when I mention my disability, which I try to avoid rapping about, because I was told it wasn’t too commercial. But this song got picked up by Netflix.” Join us at 1pm cst on IG LIVE to discuss Keith's rise to fame 🖤Link in bio to hear the latest episode 🖤 Get caught up on my latest episode with @itslololove who was also featured in a commercial for the upcoming @hbomax comedy @the.sexlivesofcollegegirls directed by @mindykaling #KripHopNation #Emmys2021 #Netflix #AwardWinning #BlackDisabledLivesMatter #BlackDisabledExcellence #HireDisabledProducers #cerebralpalsyawareness #cerebralpalsyawareness
