Bboys vs Bashment: Breaking to Movado! Dancehall Kings and Queens

So sometimes I just sit in my room blasting break beats just imagining myself smoking some of the top breakers in the world (Morning of Owl). Today I was just sitting here casually going through my routine of banging my music loud, when out of nowhere an old Dancehall tune that I used to rinse out with the old Jamaican & Trini clique dropped. Wait, What? Now im imagining myself breaking to “Squeeze Her Breast” by Movado. The joke thing is, it actually worked. I had successfully fused the 2 genres, and I had to share it with the world. Many thoughts run through my head, so I went training and started trying to incorporate Dancehall to breakbeats. It would be easy I said to myself… Boy was I wrong! And for those of you who feel it would be easy, here’s a random disclaimer…


Now lets begin…    
   
Well, here I am today, an average level bboy, a slightly below average dancehall head, (my level increases exponentially after a few jyaygerbombs, you just gotta trust me on that one). But, if I find a way to incorporate them smoothly, boom, so long Morning of Owl, average bboys are gonna be picturing themselves smoking me while listening to breakbeats. And I wouldn’t want it any other way.

If you’re a bboy and want to test the theory for yourself, check out Aidonia featuring Mr Renzo“Bend ya Back”. Oh my days, Im slyly gassed to get my crew busking to this gem, I swear we could double our money from one show. Or maybe that’s just wishful thinking. But you know what they say, like a midget at a urinal, we’ll have to stay on our toes.
