George 'TraGiC' Doman

A member of Krip-Hop Nation: Hip-Hop Artists/Musicians with disabilities.  George recently wrote and remixed Tupac Shakur’s “Brenda’s Got A Baby”, but instead called it “Brenda’s Got A Baby With CP”, because he has “CP” (Cerebral Palsy).  He and Krip-Hop Nation are looking forward  to have Bay Area, the birthplace of Tupac Shakur, and the disability rights movement stand or roll with us at this video shoot.

In the Rap Game, you come across many intriguing personalities, but rarely do you find real music. What defines a person’s character? Is how real he or she is outside of their music world? George "TraGiC" Doman never separates his life from his music. His signature style formed, like many, from a life he lives of epic highs and lows. Let’s faces it, George "TraGiC" Doman never is, or has been a "Gangsta". He has never been shot, but he copes with a different type of pain, a pain he was born with, Cerebral Palsy. Cerebral Palsy was his gift and his curse (which is where the name derives from, They'll Realize a GiftIsn’t Cursed). It gave him the spirit to write and create lyrics and yet, stole any chance of him to walk normally like the rest of us (labeling him as being "Physically Handicapped"). Rarely do you find a rapper who not only says something, but lives the life he speaks of. “Hip-Hop Is Dead” – Nasir Jones. An artist is needed to revive the art of Hip-Hop music and George "TraGiC" Doman is there to answer the calling. When you hear TraGiC “flow”, it's undeniable of the fact you will get the chills. Not because of the words or music, but because when you hear it, you know it’s from the heart.
