10 days...

Whattup yall!! So these last couple days have been a very difficult emotional struggle. I've been looking to find some spiritual guidance. So I asked around and I was directed to a preacher who has been said to "keep it really real" and "doesn't hold back". All I can say is WOW... They were right, but I'm just not sure if this is the direction I wanna go... I guess I'll keep lookin for guidance... 



On a better note... I rocked the stage this weekend for both sold out BLUE SCHOLAR shows... Big up to all the homees that came out and everyone that performed... Tilson, Sonny Bonoho, Truckasaurus, Common Market, Pearl, Macklemore, Nphared, Grynch, Physics, my man Ouware on the horns, and MashHall aka They Live. Good work yall! Everyone there completely ripped it. I even saw asun gettin down a lil bit. Be sure to check out todays show w Dyme Def... Guaranteed to be hot!

As always with blog time comes MIX TIME... This weeks mixtape is a couple biggie joints I threw together. We lost him in March so I figured it was an appropriate time to do it. Click HERE TO LISTEN and/or

-JUST RELEASED- GO GET IT!

FOUNDATION
b-boys, b-girls, and
hip hop culture in new york
by joseph schloss
In the late 1970s and early 80s, B-Boying (mistakenly known as breakdancing) along with DJ'ing, rapping, and graffiti art, soared to national recognition and popularity. While the latter three have gone on to varying degrees of success and lasting impact, b-boying has largely been dismissed as just another I Love the '80s fad, along with the Rubik's Cube and Wham! Now, for the first time, the Hip-Hop staple, which has flourished in the underground scene for more than thirty years, receives some due credit.

In his new book FOUNDATION: B-Boys, B-Girls, and Hip-Hop Culture in New York author Joseph Schloss has researched the art of the b-boy, and the b-girl, from the ground level. Based on interviews with many significant figures in the dance's movement, Schloss examines the genre's afterlife in underground venues in New York and around the world. From African tradition to professional gymnastics; from the Incredible Bongo Band's 1973 dance hit "Apache" to the iconic martial artist Bruce Lee, FOUNDATION illustrates the unique history and influences of the b-boy, and b-girl, culture.

FOUNDATION: B-Boys, B-Girls, and Hip-Hop Culture in New York by Joseph Schloss : A paperback original, by Oxford University Press 2009 (oup.com)
