Busk 89
The year is 1989…
Hip Hop was on a mission in reinvention
African pendants, high top fades, running man to kid n play
Air Jordan’s help with ya “humpty hump”
and “”fight the power” was a Spike Lee’s joint!
This is another street Banger from the busk crew!!
Expect hype dance to Lyndy Hop with a breakdance twist!!
Crash landing
-
Was it plane stupidity or a planned attempt?!
Who Cares?
Earth doesn’t!
Expect a blend of robots, evils DJs, crazy stilt antics, breakin, poppin’, and of course… INTERGALATIC FUNK!!!
