C1RCA TEAMS UP WITH HIP HOP LEGEND, AFRIKA BAMBAATAA
San Clemente, CA - February XX, 2011- C1RCA Select is proud to announce the collaboration with hip-hop legend, Afrika Bambaataa, on the Spring 2011 tee and sneaker collection entitled the Zulu Collection.
Bronx native Afrika Bambaataa is one of the originators of break-beat deejaying, and one of the architects of Hip Hop Culture. In fact, he is credited for coining the phrase, “Hip Hop”for the culture and pulling the 5 elements together. He also helped fuel the development of other musical genres such as freestyle or Latin freestyle, Miami bass, house, hip house, electronic and early techno. He was the first to use a synthesizer on a Hip Hop record, ultimately creating the electro funk sound.
C1RCA is proud to work with Afrika Bambaataa again (initially in a sponsored concert 10 years ago), and is excited about the sneaker and t-shirt offerings in the Spring 2011 Select Collection.
Afrika Bambaataa and C1RCA have teamed up to create two shoes for the Spring 2011 collection, the Convert and the 99 Vulc. The Bambaataa Convert features a High Top design with a molded EVA insole for added comfort. The Bambaataa Convert comes in a green, black and red color way with Suede, Patent Leather, Perf Action Nubuck, and a 3M reflective Upper. The Convert advertises the collab with “UZN” on the heel and “Zulu Nation” on the bottom sole representing the Universal Zulu Nation.
The Bambaataa 99 Vulc features a Mid-Top design with specialized, unique logo and material treatment. The Bambaataa 99 Vulc comes in black and gold with soft Nappa and wrinkle patent leather and the UZN branding on the tongue.
The Zulu collection also features three Zulu tshirts.

UN-SONGS SOILDIERS VOL.2- DON TONY AKA T-STAR T.B.B.
Last time I bought y'all the FURIOUS ROCKERS. This time its my pleasure to bring y'all a lil something featuring one of my oldest friends DON TONY.
DON TONY came into the game about the same time i did, 1982, when he first saw neighborhood chapter leader of the ZULU NATION called ZUBANG doing the ELECTRIC BOOGIE (a Bronx term).
By 1983 DON TONY was already breaking along side his partner and crew mate CHIQUITIN where they started a crew called POWERFUL BREAKERS, and later hooked up and became friends with another old friend of mine who was well plugged into the scene and together DON TONY & TIC MASTER set out to make there names known in every hood. (pictured below Don Tony on the left, Tic on the right)
By 1984, DON TONY was rocking with notorious crew from the Bronx called HOT FEET ROCKERS, which was like a sub division of ROCK STEADY CREW with members (pres)FLEX, (v.p.)SPANKY, TONY ROME, LIL OUTLAW, HEADSPIN JANET.
DON TONY is also responcible for introducing me to BUCK 4 of ROCK STEADY CREW and the rest is history.
The thing with Tony was not just the Electric Boogie, or Breaking, but that he was DANCER! no matter what dance was in style Don Tony could flow with it and was a dope freestyle dancer and rocker as well.
Currently Don Tony is the President of the Bronx Chapter (of course) of THE BRONX BOYS ROCKING CREW. pictured below are DON TONY & BATCH, the founder of T.B.B. ROCKING CREW

Mr. Wiggles top rock disscusion
Anyone who has ever taken a short workshop with me (90 mins.) knows that i dedicate a 3rd of the class to top rocks.
a good 3rd of that top rock session i`learned from mr wiggles. ive done alot of research with a lot of heavy hitters in the game, but when it comes to bronx style rocking, it was wigz who always either lit the fuse or droped the bomb itself for me. there are a lot of styles and toprocks, but what wiggels breaks down in this vid are the core fundamentals of all styles of rocking and top rocks from the BX
ENJOY
