Stevio...LA LA Lovin' It?

I'm British-born Chinese from Bristol, UK. I’m LA-based. I’m a hip hop aficionado. After 15 years in London I moved to LA to pursue a new career and outlook on life.

Back in the 80s I was a DJ. In the 90s I contributed to the world's first street style exhibition at London's Victoria & Albert Museum. In 2011, I had my first interviews published. Today, I’m keeping busy with music, art, photos and writing.

This is so hype!

There's a whole undiscovered world out there...I saw this video on someone's MySpace page. It's trailer for a dance competition for teenagers here in California, called 'Vibe 12'. Basically, there's an underground scene of troupe dancing that is inspired by the MTV video dancers and street dancing. It's like the new team sport! I've seen this in B-Boy battles, but nothing as mixed as this, I mean, boys and girls...and multicultural, but that's Cali...yah!

Ah, I'm all inspired now: I had to dig out some more hype Korean B-Boy stuff. These boys are "half man, half aaaamazing"! Hip Hop, Ya Don't Stop!

Uh oh...Hip Hop Radar

Most of you know I rarely leave my email alone, but today I was stopped in my tracks just for a moment as I logged into Yahoo!

What's this? Yahoo!'s login avatar dude has suddenly gone B-Boy?! I put on my 'Stop in the name of Hip Hop' hat and am reporting the incident to you all.

May be Yahoo! should make this B-Boy a Korean, not a bespeckled white boy, as it looks like B-Boying is being taken over by Koreans. Check this video.

Oh, and what about this little gem?..ooooh!

But wait, check the Korea vs Japan battle for the UK B-Boy Championship title in 2005. Check out around 2 minutes in. (Psst...Korea went on to battle France and deservedly walked away with the championship.)
