HOME COOKIN & OPEN CIRCLES PRESENTS: THE BATTLE!!! AFTERMATH!!!

Whaddup people, this is Dre gracing the blog with his presence – yet again, ready to hit you up with the Aftermath, which is: HOME COOKIN & OPEN CIRCLES PRESENTS: THE BATTLE!!!

This night needed no introduction. If you were there, you know what I mean. For those who wern’t there, without a valid reason – well you need to get a clue about what I do mean! ¬¬ Haha just kidding! 😀 …

But seriously, it was a dope night that brought us a great finish to an otherwise “normal” Friday night. This night was so dope, I have to individually go through it all, just so people can see how dope this night actually was!

WE HAD: Silence on the mic! ………………………………………………….. (Sorry no pun intended)! 😉

WE HAD: Silence, Ariel, Sketch, Fab, Lucie, Howie & Bias judging the: Bboying, Popping, House & Hip-Hop Battles throughout the night.

WE HAD: Mushroom & Howie dropping the beats like they’re hot on the 1’s and 2’s.

WE HAD: Dr. Iz giving his time to us and helping us out with the whole event.

WE HAD: The Yardbird Squadron letting us use the venue and showing their support!

WE HAD: Some of Brum’s dopest dancers gracing the battles with their: talent, energy and soul.

Last but certainly not the least – THE CHAMPS ARE HERE!!!

SHOW YOUR LOVE FOR:

THE BBOY CHAMPION – NENE AKA BBOY TAPS!

THE POPPING CHAMPION: SCARLETT AKA SCARLETT “JUSDANCE” MCKINLEY!

THE HOUSE CHAMPION: MARVIN AKA PENGUIN!

THE HIP-HOP CHAMPION: MARVIN AKA PENGUIN!

WHO’S GONNA BE ABLE TO TAKE THESE TITLES AWAY FROM THESE CHAMPIONS AT THE NEXT HOME COOKIN BATTLE? ¬¬

All in all, the night was a huge success! Thank you to everybody: who had came down to support the event, who had participated and also to those who made a  donation towards the Smash Bro Vegas Fund!

Last night, we were able to raise a grand total of *wait for it – drum roll please*…………………………………………………………………….. £101!!!

This is a nice start for us – so a HUGE thank you to everybody who had made this possible and let’s keep this going! Look out for more Smash Bro fundraiser’s and event – soon to come!

SMASH BRO’Z NEED YOUR HELP!!!

Hey, this is Dre here – I’m hijacking this blog for a while to hit everybody up with the latest info on the Smash Bro’z Hip Hop Collective.  For those of you who don’t know already – The smash Bro’z were hard at work  fundraising to go to Las Vegas and compete at the World Hip Hop Championships 2009 against 50+ other countries. Now, unfortunately that time round we couldn’t make it happen, but this year is going to be different – you wanna know why?
It’s because we’re: another year older, another year wiser and another year STRONGER!!!

In the words of Michael Jackson – himself R.I.P – “THIS IS IT”!

This year we were successful in winning the “Battle Of The Shires 2010 – Midlands Qualifier” cementing a place straight into the UK Hip Hop Championship Final – not to mention gaining a 1st place rank in the preliminary round of the UK Hip Hop championship – first time round and then securing a first place victory overall – taking the gold by the end of the night. Smash Bro’z have made history being the first and only group from Birmingham so far to: make it to the UK Hip Hop Championship Finals, qualify for the World Hip Hop Championships each time they’ve entered and also won the UK Hip Hop Championships.  Having said this, second place was awarded to Peridot and Status clenched a solid third. All three groups have now qualified to fly out to Las Vegas to compete in the World Hip Hop Championships, this summer.

Now, this is where we need your help. We need your help/support/ kind + generous donations in making this possible. As a group we are not only representing Birmingham and the Midlands but also the United Kingdom. Throughout the following months, we will be holding various events/workshops/classes/promo’s/busking/you name it, in order to raise our target amount of £7,000.

So Please, if you would like to help us in some way, or have any information that would also benefit us, then please either post a reply on this blog or email: Kashmir on knyne@bboysattic.com

Thank you. “This Is It”.

I’m going to leave you with a video clip of our first place performance at the UK Hip Hop championships – Preliminary Round. Thank you to everyone involved with making the competition happen in the first place and well done to all the dancers that have entered.

This is Dre. Peace.
