Congratulations to the homie Cros 1. Tomorrow will be the 13th Freestyle Session Anniversary. It is one of the most inspirational jam that have reached many bboys/girls throughout the whole globe. It is considered the Super Bowl of BBoy Jam. It is that legendary because 13 years it is still relevant to this day. Too bad I can't be there due to family business. However, my MZK members will be out there to support the jam, also my brotha Alien Ness will be judging. Hahha finally Cros got him to judge....lol I remember Ness ran up to me all excited to say "YOOO TY!! CROS finally got me to judge!! I'm so happy!" hahahaha.

I still remember the first Freestyle Session video that I saw was Freestyle Session 3. You can watch the clip of it below. It have inspired many including myself.

Also, my crew (Zulu Kingz) and I got the honor to win Freestyle Session 10th yr Anniv in 2007 so that was a very memorable moment for my crew and I.

This is why I love Hip Hop..transcend all barriers! This is Narcicyst with a song called Hamdulillah meaning "Praise to God" in Arabic.

According to the director of video: this video is a global collaborative effort by 10 photographers - from London to Lebanon, Cairo To Canada, Abu Dhabi to America- to create a portrait of the New Global Citizens. They are DJs, MCs, poets, architects, teachers, doctors, parents and children. Most of all they are people.

Araab Muzik did it again!! Straight fire on the MPC. A lot of kats don't even understand the art behind producing beats and yes it's part of Hip Hop no doubt! To me Araab Muzik is nice with his. He is the producer of Dip Set. This is just his promo of him using the mpc and drumming on it.




Here is part 1 and 2 in case you missed it before:

In Honor of Hip Hop History Month, I gotta shout out UK first B-Girl: BUBBLES aka Hanifa Queen

This is from Freestyle Session 11 in 2008, the same Freestyle Session where MZK called out Massive Monkeez in that infamous concrete cypha battle.

Shouts to SKMZ!! I think it was Teknyc from SKMZ that set it off to call out one of the MZK members. I think it was Smurf ...that he called out. Then it became a 3 man battle (Casper, Smurf, Joolz vs Teknyc, Venum, Flipz) with no one else jumped in since none from each side jumped in after that, and let just the 3 from each side continue to battle cuz thats just the rule of engagement. The footage here show like the last 1/2 of the battle if I can remember.

To all BBoys/Girls: Watch and Learn the BATTLE ETHICS by the two crews.

- No shit talking, do the talking on the floor dancing
- No disrespect
- Crew members from both side watching but in battle demeanor mode ready to throw down in case someone else from each side jumps in
- No cheerleading on the sidelines jumping up and down to give props for their crew members even if someone from their crew did some nice rounds.

True class act on how a battle is suppose to be from both crews.

Also, the footage don't show this but when the music stops, the battle stops, and when the music starts again then the battle continue. It went on like this for i think 15-20 minutes. I think this went down during Freestyle Session prelims or top 16. This is only like 1/2 of the battle. I think there were rounds missing from both sides in the beginning of the battle where Teknyc was the first one to set it off.

Take notes...this is an educated post for the future generations on how a battle should be.

Peace to my crew and SKMZ for the inspiration and carrying on tradition on how it should be done!
