DJs: Crazy Legs, DJ Jazzy Jay, Skeme Richards and Charlie Rock.
Every B-boy and B-girl is on their own! No preset battles. In the early to mid 80's, crews were rolling thick and a lot of them were at peace. The only time they didn't get along was when it was time to battle in the club. No one was worried about hurting someone's feelings or concerned with battling their own friends, but rather battled with a fierce will to win. We were all "FRIENEMIES". 'Frienemies" is the place to battle that person that you chill with on a regular basis and show him/her that they're not as good as they brag about all the time. Winner receives an all expense paid trip to rep the U.S. at the UK B-Boy Championships.
