Bboy Ark – 808 Breakers/FloorGangz and DJ King GNS 6-11-18 http://powerstyleradio.com/bboy-ark-808-breakers-floorgangz-and-dj-king-gns-6-11-18/ Mon, 11 Jun 2018 16:26:51 +0000 http://powerstyleradio.com/?p=1980

Jeff Wong, better known as Ark, currently can be found in the California Bay Area challenging students to discover and fine-tune their dedication, self-confidence, and ability to creatively interpret challenges (both physical and mental) through the practice of dance.

His aim is to teach this dance with an emphasis on fundamental technique, cultural values, and historical significance while providing an open door for the youth to connect to the thriving hip hop community that exists on a larger scale. Students are exposed to a positive outlet that is in consonance with tenets of good health, conductive social engagement, introspection, and fun. He continues to maintain an active presence in the global breakin’ scene as a competitor representing world renown crews – The 808 Breakers, and FloorGangz.

Ark has been featured in music videos, commercials, television shows, and radio shows within the Hawaii circuit. While completing his Bachelors of Science in Kinesiology & Rehabilitation Sciences, Jeff amassed an excess of 200 performances with his local crew performing in settings from theatre stages to stadiums. He has continued to perform and showcase in the Bay Area for a number of tech companies and non profits alike. Ark has worked with all ages and experience levels sharing BREAKIN’ across the Bay Area – from youth detention facilities to schools/after-school-programs to dance studios. Ark founded and manages a local KIDS breakin’ crew, Diamonds in the Rough, while also co-producing youth and community dance-event series, RoCo Rock & The Melting Pot.

Visiting for a short time only we were able to get King GNS into the studio! Aka Man O God, originally from Chicago and now residing in Hong Kong, join us this Tuesday as he provides music for the night!

Tommy Freshmess and Kidd Gio 4-8-18 http://powerstyleradio.com/tommy-freshmess-and-kidd-gio-4-8-18/ Thu, 03 May 2018 17:39:46 +0000 http://powerstyleradio.com/?p=1934

Dj Tommy FreshMess was raised in Waukegan Illinois in 1982. He started out as a BBOY then in 1984 he was introduced to DJing by DJ Jazzy J & never stopped.

FreshMess infuses different genres of music effortlessly to create the ultimate music experience,  with his sometimes 2 min blends, he creates a whole new rhythm to his mix.
DJ Tommy FreshMess has shared the stage with many Hip Hop / Hip House / Freestyle artists & Chicago’s top house DJs.
Tommy keeps it old school style with his all vinyl sets a Dj worth seeing.

21 year old Kidd Gio is a young phenom Puerto Rican rapper out of Waukegan, Illinois. Known for his multiple flows and harsh lyrics he is destined to be a star. Gruvanieo (Giovannie Lopez) was born in New Jersey and has moved around his whole life until his family settled in Waukegan. In his new project “Know Life”, which was released on Soundcloud, you will hear the pain he has been through but that will be mixed in with music you can party to. With the perfect mix of great beats, unlimited flows, and raw lyrics you are not going to want to miss this EP!

Like every young rapper, Gruvanieo has been at this for a long time. At age 15 Giovannie fell in love with hip hop and hasn’t turned back. While one of his friends would make a beat on the lunch table with a pencil or just with a simple beat box, Giovannie would freestyle. That’s how he got started, like a lot of other successful artists. He has released  a few songs on Soundcloud with the most notably track being Session 1, which has over 2,000 streams! He entered Session 1 into a contest on EMG radio and took home second place. Even though he didn’t get first, he still got plenty of love from Keith Murray who gave Gruvanieo his vote and wanted to keep playing the track multiple times! Gio has entered in multiple contests with the most recently being Dizzy Wrights The Golden Age Rap Contest He got top twenty in the contest out of over 150 competitors. As far as shows go he has had the opportunity to open up for Waka Flocka Flame at the Rave in Milwaukee and has done some other smaller shows.

Go checkout the new EP “Know Life” on his soundcloud!
