The Dancer

Blessings can perform every element of Hip Hop, from grafitti writing to beat boxing, but the skill he’s most known for when not rapping is dance. His electric dance performance is the gift he originally drew a reputation for in the local Hip Hop world. With well over a decade of experience, study, travel, battling, showcases and competitions under his belt, his introduction to Hip Hop as a living culture was as a B-Boy.From Breaking, he would go on to learn Popping, Krumping, Boogaloo, Locking and a number of other dance styles. His presence on the dance floor has been felt in several major cities, his hard work even earning him the opportunity to battle the legendary Les Twins. The dance world is what began his very in-depth study of Hip Hop history and culture, and his display of that knowledge has even earned him praise from the legendary Shabba Doo of The Lockers, KRS-One and Rakim.
