Flavacast- A blog on the Indian bboying, hip hop and urban scene

Image
Hello, I wanted to introduce my new blog called Flavacast: www.flavacast.com I started this blog out of inspiration form my current one. I felt the need to create a platform for the Indian hip hop and urban scene. One of the reasons was the poor representation by mainstream media which not only skews the perception of our scene globally, but also among the youth in our country who get inspired by artists they see in traditional and online media. Check out the blog posts. I also re-wrote one of the posts form this blog - "The story of Roc Fresh Crew".

My introduction to breaking

What made me discover breaking was when I was watching TV at home in Tanzania in 2002. I was watching music videos and came across :Its Like That- Run DMC. I was fascinated with the power moves, and footwork that the dancers were doing on the floor. Of course at that time I didn't know what the dance was called.

Not many people are aware of the fact that the majority of the Freak N  Stylz members  went on to form Roc Fresh . I say this because there are many crews and Bboys who have  come up after 2009 and are progressing  a lot , they may not know the history of Roc Fresh. Earlier the scene as I knew it was  only in Mumbai since 2007 , then I saw Delhi’s scene developing at  around 2010-2011 at a fast pace. Now   there is a breaking scene in other cities like Bangalore , Delhi,  Shillong & the other northeast states, Chennai ,  and more . And when I say  a scene I don’t mean that there was no one breaking in 2007 or before ,  I mean a community, culture or scene as I like to call it, which is noticeable. When Roc Fresh formed I didn’t really feel like I was in a new crew, it was like we were missing some. As Bunny and me were two of th...
