THE NOTORIOUS IBE 2011
Posted November 27, 2011 by Mocha Latte
These guys are wild! The Notorious IBE is a competition that was held in Holland this year with some of the globes best bboys. Amazing to see an art that evolved from the RUN DMC movement still holds very true to its roots.

Swollen Members – Night Vision
Posted September 11, 2011 by Mocha Latte
I recently got the chance to see SM live at a very very personal concert and have to say the energy received from the show was anything but faded. These guys have been off the grid for a minute (for obvious reasons) but the sound they’re sending out now shows it was well worth it.

DMB Caravan Countdown Day 9 – The Roots
Posted August 23, 2011 by Cap'n Drea
I caught The Roots at Osheaga back in 2009 where they really delivered a killer set! I can’t wait to see them again and hear some of their songs from How I Got Over live.
Here’s an absolutely awesome video of Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake mashing-up a stream of hip-hop classics backed by the rhythm section of The Roots.
