Review: Breakin’ Convention Park Jam

So to cel­eb­rate 10 years in the game, Breakin’ Con­ven­tion put on their first free Park Jam. A out­door event cov­er­ing all aspects of hip hop at Spa Fields Park on bank hol­i­day Monday. Con­tinu­ing Breakin’ Con­ven­tion ‘s on going com­mit­ment to cel­eb­rat­ing all ele­ments of hip hop cul­ture the event fea­tured DJs, a live band, emcees, dance cyphers, beat box­ers and a graf­fiti jam. This was hip hop in its truest form.

The music stage was hos­ted by Mys­tro & Jonzi D. The stage was full of tal­en­ted rap­pers, poets and musi­cians, such as Wordsworth and Cax­ton Press per­form­ing their sets. After fol­lowed the open mic ses­sion, where mcs had to drop six­teen bars of know­ledge and wis­dom before their time was up . Also per­form­ing where the tal­ents of beat box­er, such as Marv-iLL. As the sun beat down on every­one, you could feel the great vibes that was filling the air.

While the rap­pers and beat box­ers were doing their thing, the break dan­cers where throw­ing down amaz­ing moves. From the skills of Second To None to the young­sters, every­one brought their A game to the floor.

For all you people that love a great workout UK Bar-Bari­ans bar where there demon­stra­tions what a body can do with just a couple of bars and their own body strength. From pulls ups, to hands stands on the bars it was a full workout session.

This was in all sense of the words a true com­munity event. The place was full of and friends enjoy­ing and par tak­ing in all aspects of hip hop. How­ever the main stars of the whole event where the chil­dren break dan­cing. Their energy and fear­less­ness to try out all pos­sible break­dan­cing moves was a great thing to witness.

We as a com­munity need more free events like Breakin’ Convention’s Park Jam to bring all of us togeth­er for a great time full of energy, pas­sion and love. Massive shout out to all the people that where involved in put­ting togeth­er such a great event of hip hop. As the say­ing goes the best things in life are free. So if you love all things hip hop make sure you get to Breakin’ Convention’s next event.
