UTICA, N.Y. - Nyenta -- While New York State's transition of the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP) to Public Partnerships Limited (PPL) has been covered in headlines, one critical reality has gone unreported: disabled people are now being forced to manage their own timecards and handle HR and payroll responsibilities without pay, training, or adequate support.

Hip-hop artist B-Cide has stepped forward to make sure that story—and the voices behind it—are heard. His latest release, "B-Cide – CDPAP PPL Transition (Voice for the Disabled in New York)," produced by Ken "K-Dub" Williamson, is a powerful protest track that speaks for both disabled individuals and the aides who care for them.

The song's first verse takes aim at the impact on disabled New Yorkers, many of whom are now performing administrative roles once handled by agencies—without compensation or preparation. The frustration is clear: people living with disabilities are being treated like staff while still managing their own health challenges.

The second verse turns the spotlight on aides and personal assistants—the backbone of the CDPAP program. Since the rushed transition to PPL, many have faced late or inaccurate paychecks, poor communication, and inadequate language assistance. Without proper infrastructure in place, the very people providing hands-on care have been left in financial and emotional limbo.

"Nobody in the press is talking about this," says B-Cide. "Disabled people are being forced to do administrative work for free, and the aides who keep us alive are getting shortchanged. This song is for both of us—because we're both getting hurt by this system."

The lyric video for "CDPAP PPL Transition (Voice for the Disabled in New York)" blends B-Cide's sharp lyrics with real news clips and b-roll footage, creating a visual narrative that underscores the urgency of the situation. The words appear on-screen, ensuring that the message is both heard and seen.

B-Cide, a rapper from Utica, NY, who has lived with multiple sclerosis since 2011, has built a career on using music to tell hard truths and stand up for those without a platform. With this track, he aims to amplify the voices of New Yorkers who have been sidelined in the state's healthcare policy shift and to demand accountability from those in power.
