Pt. 3 MOV FEST

Unfortunately folks, that day did not go as smoothly as we would have liked it to. The reason being pimp decided to make it rain on us. By pimp, I mean sky. By rain, I don’t mean money…

BUT knowing us, you know we had to keep ish moving. So we had an after-cypher at our crib which turned into a mock battle. BUT GUESS WHO I SALTED IN OUR BATALLITA!!!! BBOY CHOSEN!!!! ONE OF THE BEST BBOYS IN PANAMA!!!! But I must admit that he was recovering from recent injuries SO i cant take all the credit, not to mention nobody won, seeing as it was in our living room. But I did get HELLA woots and claps from the 14 bboys and bgirls watchin. Sorry to get yall all hype. Below is the round between Bgirl Snow and Bboy Arnold. Enjoy.

MOV FEST

On the HIPpity HOPpiest of dayyz (Sunday, March 14), a shawty named David Sánchez, also called upon by us history making elements as DJ Rhythm X, desired a festival of sorts. The sorts where only the flyest of heroes throw their flavas onto lands so beautifully, they call it ‘break’, where creatures grow hunched backs from spinning flat worlds on tables made of galaxies, where Goliaths and Davids ride wheeled clouds on earths shaped like slingshots, where angels spray the stories of legends onto walls with the dust that lies on the tips of their wings, creating an atmosphere of pure dope-ocity for the universes to see.

30 Day Verse Challenge, Day 2

I COULD NOT, FOR THE LIFE OF ME, FINISH THIS VERSE. IT KEPT TURINING INTO A SONG. so here’s a teaser with the first ten bars.
TOPIC: how i always fall for artists. but i didnt get to that point yet. hence it bein a tease.]

I think I’ve got an obsession

Not the stalker type that cuts yo gas pipes ova feelings they catchin

But I aint completely chill

Need some ice to keep it real

Trying not to fall victim to gravity like Jack and Jill

I’ll be strong like Scott

But even that Philly queen be turning green

When it’s love that she’s got

Uh, we all be playing grinch when life is calling our cue

That mountain top gets cold when you’re the only angry Who

30 Day Verse Challenge, Day 1

If you can’t tell, I wrote this in the shower]

Man I smell so bad/I’m glad im finna take a shower

This stank is so pungent/im finna be here for an hour

Cuz when im gettin fresh/time slips like hips from dirty trousers

And when i rise above these suds you’ll call me lady flower

But you cant pick me tho/this emcee’s not a ho

And like the Garden of Eden this fruit is forbidden til i walk down that bridal row

So put a ring on it

But that don’t mean you own it

Depending on a man is not one of my life’s components

New Project!!!

ALRIGHT FOLKS!!!! i got yet anotha project on my mind that im finna get crackin on. in fact, i already have. seein all the emcees at the open mic we went to last night [fotos comin tonite] reminded me how much i wanted to seriously start writin and performin rhymes. and considerin the fact that í’ve only written one verse worth mentionin to the homies…IN MY LIFE!!!!, ive decided that i got a lot of work to do in order to even be decent. so what im gonna do is…

[SHIT. im so excited MY FINGAS ARE SHAKIN!!!!]…

(lets debate over caviar and ritz crackers sometime, k?)

ANYWAY. waaay off topic. the fact of the matter is, ill be postin verses about anything and everything, everyday for the next 30 days. For the first verse, scroll up to the next post. DEUCES!!!!

OPEN MIC!

On the 10th night of a time they call in the distant lands “Marzo,” a band of magically fly shawties went to a small event, an “eventito,” if you will, called an Open Mic. It took place in the cove of muses, named after only the most flavaful of muses, La Musa de Chai. This eventito was the cracking-est occurrence of the jubilous night. So crackin that every shawty present witnessed the miracle of a phenomenon they call Hip-Hop, in which people gain jolly spirits around a mic instead of a maypole. And toss around the results of beautiful grinds instead of ribbons.

CONTACTING THE WORLD

Sorry for the long ass description. But I GOTTA break this down fo ya. So this summer, Alida, Kelsey, and yours truly, are gettin even more stamps on our passports because we were accepted to represent First Wave in the Contacting the World Theatre Festival (CTW) in Manchester, England, along with 9 other members of the FDUB fam. This festival brings theatre companies from all over the world to create and perform original works. First Wave was chosen to represent the United States. Tight rite? I know, jo, I live a BLESSED life (pronounced bles-sed for emphasis). Praying to God it stays that way. Now, because the three of us are all the way over here in Panama and the rest of dem folk back in Wisco (Wisconsin for future reference), it’s been hard to stay connected with the fam in this process. But fortunately, the fam is full of some creative ass motha-effers. So creative that there will be weekly videos, showin you wassup in their process with CTW. BUT WAIT!!!! Alida and I were so inspired that we are choosing to bite folks and do a little somethin ourselves each week to show folks wats goin down wit us in Panama. So our ish will be comin soon. But here’s the first episode of this mini-series…First Wave Presents “CTW First Wave Fridays”!!!!

Word. So I'm stealing this from Dominique aka Dominicana's blog because I thought it was dope.

Check it out:

Folks, I have been fortunate enough to meet and get to know some beautiful people in my life, both in the States and here in Panama. People who not only find the most amazing ways to express themselves through art, but people who wanna share that art with everyone around them. One of the people here in whom I’ve recognized that the most, is our homeboy Eddie also known as Bboy Funky. This website is one of the many ways through which he’s chosen to share his love of hip-hop/bboying with his community. If you wanna know what’s goin down in Panama City’s bboying/bgirling scene, this is mos def the site you wanna hit up baby booskies.

Do IT.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand END/commence stealing from Dom's blog.
