Skratch Training Speed Booster by DJ Grotask
The Hip Hop scene is not big at all in the place where I live (Tbilisi, which is the capital of Georgia), so the few true folks who keep it real always support each other. Dupree Lehnsherr (AKA Head) helped me make the video for YouTube, and my buddy CH-IL (local graffiti artist) supplied me with cool pictures for the slideshow so I could represent the mix and myself better...
I plan to make more Speed Boosters like this, because it's something new and exiting for me. I included some breakbeats that I used to play at B-Boy competitions like the Red Bull BC One and other local battles for my B-Boy friends.
Basically this mix means a lot for me - especially the visual part where I added a few Star Wars pics and a few graffiti pieces from my own town (watch around 10:55 - 11:18), but the most exiting part of this story for me is that I am honored to have it posted on the Qbert Skratch University blog.
p.s. Much love to my man Adam Butler (aka ADA) who inspires me to do things like this and share it all over the internet!
