Mass Appeal X United Styles at Floorlords 36th Year Ann.

This past weekend the PBT hit the Beantown for what was to be one of the most anticipated events in the USA. The Floorlords 36th Year Anniversary. Floorlords is HIPHOP ROYALTY. The crew has been an inspiration to the community since the community started uniting in the mid 90’s. I(Mex) remember how deep the crew rolled up back at Pro-Am 2000. Floorlords produced one of the greatest bboys of all time in Float and bboy El Nino now carries the torch as one of the greatest of his generation. Leno(leader) has done so much for so many. He has mentor not just his son Lean Rock and Nephew(El Nino) but many young up and coming bboys/bgirls from the Boston area and beyond. Floorlords simply happens to be one of the most liked and respected crews our community has ever produced. Floorlords Ann truly is a celebration of family and culture.

And now for the “main event” United Styles 13. United Styles always brings out some real heavy hitter and this year was no exception. This year, the talent pool was “world class”. Top bboys such as the BC One All Stars, Knuckleheads Cali, Sweet Technique, Street Masters, and many more crews from across the U.S came out to represent. With that kind of talent, you knew the judges had to be world class as well.
Check out the judges line up: Lego (FL) – Palmer (TX) – Fleau (MTL). On the wheels of steel were none other than: DJ Lean Rock and DJ Fleg. The music, the talent, the vibe, and the culture all represented to the fullest.
