Sony Ericsson B-Boy Championships 2010 Regional Conflicts

Editor — Fri, 07 May 2010 17:27:21 +0000

The UK’s top B-Boy crews are gearing up to take on some of the best breakdancing troops from across the UK, showcasing their signature moves and routines at the Sony Ericsson B-Boy Championships Regional conflicts which take place at Stylus in Leeds on 9th May and at Club Quake in Woking on the 16th May.

After months of hard training and preparation, crews will step up to the proverbial plate against their rivals to hopefully impress the judges in a showdown that’s not to be missed.

The top three crews from these regional heats will go through to the Sony Ericsson National B-Boy Finals in London, set to take place on Sunday June 13th at Islington Academy. The UK winners will then be given the ultimate accolade of representing Great Britain at the 15th anniversary B-Boy Championships World Finals in Brixton on October 9th and 10th.

DJ Hooch, founder of the Sony Ericsson B-Boy Championships, said: “The Sony Ericsson B-Boy Championships provide a great platform to nurture new and existing talent, opening the doors to aspiring professional breakers. The competition helps place its contenders onto the world stage, which has seen last year’s winners go onto perform at the Oscars, as well as feature in the movie Step Up 3-D.”

“the point of Escape is to show Gab’s gift, which (unlike most rap veterans) remains strong and consistent as its been since the early 90s” – 4/5 URB mag

Gift of Gab, best known as the technically adept MC of the vaunted Blackalicious, knew that after waiting over five years for a follow-up solo release that he would have to really take this one far. Like other planet kind of far. New album “Escape 2 Mars” signifies the next groundbreaking voyage in the career of an MC who is nothing short of iconic. Cornerstone Recording Arts Society is set to release Escape 2 Mars November 10, 2009 on CD, Vinyl and worldwide digital download.

Production on Escape was placed mainly in the hands of the Bay Area’s talented DNAEBEATS, with a few tracks also helmed by Hednodic, from Gab’s most recent star collabo project The Mighty Underdogs and Crown City Rockers. Del the Funky Homosapien and Brother Ali, another two undeniably iconic MCs, are featured on “Dreamin’”, one of the record’s stand out cuts. Gab also recruited some of the talent from the Quannum Collective he helped pioneer, including Joyo Velarde, Lateef The Truthspeaker, and Honeycut’s vocalist Bart Davenport.

Known for one of live hip Hop’s most engaging shows and mind-blowing delivery, Gift of Gab will tour the country heavily in support of Escape 2 Mars during 2010
