Yes yes yall and we dont stop dig it….Mighty Zulu Kings/Kweens, reigning champs of Freestyle Session are hosting a FREE afterparty in salute to our leader Alien Ness. Alien Ness is credited with bringing a new gangster killer or be killed (in the circle only folks) Tupac vibe to this Bboy/Bgirl game. Ness turned in his US passport and migrated to all parts of Europe to spread his Bboytheology. You can see his influence abound, if you look for it!
Ness and his bride Brina, wedded Thur, Aug. 20th (a new moon, very auspicious for new beginnings!) Lets send them to matrimonial bliss, as we only know how, Bboy/Bgirl style!
Shoutouts to the Youngest in Charge, Bboy Casper!! Happy 21st kid, its only goes downhill from here. (cuz u start getting injured and u have to stretch, no fun!)
