5 questions with Disney Springs' resident rappers (Video)
Walt Disney World’s Disney Springs entertainment, dining and shopping complex has many performers throughout the venue — but one group stands out among the rest. Isaac Folch and Jordan Keyes are the Disney Springs rappers known as Free Daps. For nearly the past four years, the duo have entertained guests with their unique blend of comedy and freestyle rap. While this isn’t how the two expected their rap careers to go, both agreed this is where they want to be. “We are professional rappers, but we have created a new meaning to what that even is,” Keyes said. Walt Disney once said, “All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.” Folch and Keyes had the courage to pursue their dreams even when it seemed unlikely. “There’s no way this should have worked,” Keyes jokingly said. After years of being broke, living at their families' homes and struggling to make it, the pair landed a residency gig at Disney Springs and were determined to make the most of the opportunity.

There is division and confusion over how China should respond to Trump, with some arguing that Beijing should strike back at American interests but others saying they didn’t know what could be done.
