" D.J. Akakabe Wreck "



I always wondered why Akakabe didn't receive the proper recognition that he deserved in States.....His scratches were quick and on-point, transitions were ill, and his beat juggling patterns made my jaw drop when I first heard them on the 1997 DMC's.....

SALUTE.....

In 2004 he finally won the DMC world championship and took the belt to Japan.....

Peep this footage of him at Club Bon Bon 06/ 22/ 06

Yeah bro- Akakabe is fucking dope, even though he is still rocking old routines.....

Kind of a mixture of Total Eclipse & D.J. Craze, not really a good description, but the only one I could come up with right now.....

Monday morning is going to be interesting fam....Thanks for helping to make this happen....

Peace-

Was that Rhett in the background?

He started off with what sounded like an old skratch Piklz routine....pitching up the marshmallow feet breaks.....but damn...he flipped it! dope.
