This is last years video ad for this bboy competition, now in its 7th year!  Its going down this weekend, and while I’ll probably be there on Friday (throwing down tunes), I’ll definitely be there on Saturday, throwing down tunes (and I’ll be throwing down tunes for the house battle, as well)!  You can go HERE to check out the full schedule of events!

Here’s footage of me playing for the Red Cedar Ransom 2 Finals in East Lansing, Michigan a couple of weeks ago.  Hit the jump to see the second part!

If you don’t know already, I do an internet radio show that you can hear from any web enabled device (iPhone, iPad, iPod, iGlowingComputingBoxYou’reReadingThisPostOnRightNow).  It happens every Thursday, 1Pm – 3PM CST.  What, you can’t listen at that time, because of your job?  Quit that job!  Just kidding.  Download/stream last week’s awesome show HERE.  Are you afraid?  Playlist after the ju-ju-jump!  Oh – only the first 100 people to download it get it for free (hey, don’t blame me, blame SoundCloud!  Then blame me for using SoundCloud!)

Check out the radio shows and site – they’re nifty!  http://www.ChiTownRecordBangers.com.
