He cared so much for the people and made a positive impact on many lives. Through out the past several weeks, so many people have reached out to share their stories of the impact Mex had in their lives. The support has… Read more
As Red Bull BC One World Finals approaches this weekend, I was looking at the line up and was excited to see Moy in the mix with many competitors of today’s generation. When my crew, Unique Styles Crew, was coming up in the scene, HaviKoro was one of the crews we always looked up to. Moy was always one that stood out. Back in 1999 we remember when HaviKoro was making noise at Freestyle Session… Read more

Hasta La Muerte 7th Year Anniversary on Thursday night brought out the outdoor cyphers and seven to smoke, mostly featuring Latin… Read more
Probably, many of you have been following the news about Ukraine recently. Bloody conflict between Ukraine and Pro Russian rebels had a major impact within the country and the bboy scene itself. You may even know some bboys or bgirls from Ukraine and wonder what is really going on and how safe it is over there now or in the upcoming future. We spent a few days with Intact, who visited us in Prague, just… Read more
If you’re from Florida, and especially the Central Florida area, you may have some fond memories of a dope little spot called Reign. It was the first mom + pop boutique in Orlando to introduce streetwear brands such as The Hundreds, Crooks, 10 Deep, and Hellz Bellz before they gained mainstream popularity, and they humbly made room on their shelves to help surge Florida based brands such as Nufsed, Bofresco, and Biggest & Baddest. Above… Read more

Hip Hop and Education. These two words at seem to be at odds with one another when one is pursuing their passion and/or attempting to establish a more mainstream career. The truth of the matter is most people give up one for the other. Despite all the struggles to balance between these two aspects of life, they don’t necessarily have to work in an antagonistic relationship. Rather both Hip Hop and Education can be utilized… Read more
It has been said that culture transcends into sports, and Hip Hop culture is no exception to that. In the late 80’s, the Hip Hop revolution found its way into sports. First we saw N.W.A and their usage of L.A Raiders gear, but it was not until 5 college freshmen players took the country by storm that “Hip Hop” arrived into the sports mainstream. The University Of Michigan recruited 5 of the nations top seniors… Read more
Back in June, Vh1 released a documentary on the TV series Yo! MTV Raps, which aired on MTV from 1988-1995. I’m sure most of you are familiar with it, but for those of you who may have been too young at the time or couldn’t catch the show overseas, Yo! MTV Raps was the first television show completely dedicated to hip hop. It featured live performances and guest appearances by everyone from Eric B & Rakim, Run… Read more
This video is a great example of the choices in life one can make, and how one moment can change our lives forever. Many of us can relate because we came from the ghettos, we had abusive home lives, and know what it is like to have to steal to eat. For me, growing up as a kid in the poor neighborhoods of Mexico City, this video touched me. It hit home in many ways. Breaking and Hiphop… Read more
