United Skates
Description
In a story that lists more rap music in the West Coast, dance and diverse popular cultures in America. That story began when the last standing roller rinks in the United States were threatened with closure, where a group of thousands is fighting a real rage to keep those cultures alive. Perhaps that is why one of the greatest musical discoveries around the world has emerged so far.
