Peep the final in the b-boy battle at last month’s Life Elevated jam! It was Slinky vs. Demonio in the finals– Demonio ended up winning. This was one of the illest battles I’ve seen in a LONG time!

Well, it’s FINALLY here! My latest single “BackSpin” is out now! It took a bit longer than usual to get this one out for some reason. The track features one of my good friends DJ Raydn1. I actually produced the beat almost 5 years ago when we were visiting some friends in Texas. I had some free time and was looking for a completely different sound, but this one kinda produced itself and came out a banger. I wanted to bring back the nostalgia of the original days when hip hop was just starting to catch on. I remember back in elementary school breakdancing on a piece of cardboard during recess while blasting the boombox. We even had a school-sponsored breakdance contest at Downey Elementary in Cortez, Colorado haha. It was those days I wanted to help people remember with the lyrics, all while throwing in some underground hip hop metaphorical stuff. I recorded the lyrics in my office at Arizona State University a few late nights I was working haha. Hope my old boss doesn’t see that one! lol Once DJ Raydn1 put the cuts on, it gave it that classic boom-bap original hip hop sound it needed. Hope you like it and be sure to share this with your friends on the web!

So I recently saw a new documentary film out B-Boys called Planet B-Boy. It is about Battle of the Year- a worldwide B-Boy battle held each year in Germany. It is utterly INSANE. The film extemely really dope and it chronicled the journeys of several crews that made it to the finals in 2006 (I believe). It had in depth interviews and footage of the journey to the finals of France’s crew Phase-T, USA crew’s Knucklehead Zoo (they didn’t make it to the finals), Japan’s crew Ichigeki, South Korea’s crew Last for One, and the defending champions- South Korea’s crew Gamblerz. Personally, I thought Japan’s crew Ichigeki was the illest– their creativity, style, individuality and unison was just unbelievable and unmatchable. The pic above is a pic of the Ichigeki crew in the movie. So go see the movie! Support B-Boys! Support the B-Boy culture! You can check out more about the film here: www.planetbboy.com
