A B-boy, short for "break-boy," originally started as a practitioner of breaking, a dynamic style of street dance that is a cornerstone of hip-hop culture. The term "break" refers to the musical breakbeat, a section of a song where the rhythms and beats are isolated and looped to create a continuous, energetic segment. These breakbeats were popularized by DJ Kool Herc, who recognized their appeal and used them to fuel dance battles and gatherings. B-boys danced during these musical breaks, showcasing their skills and creativity, ultimately leading to their name.
B-boying, commonly known as breakdancing, is characterized by intricate footwork, acrobatic movements, and rhythmic skill, all performed to the vibrant beats of hip-hop music. Originating in the Bronx, New York City, in the late 1970s, it was a creative outlet for inner-city youth. B-boys are not only essential performers in the hip-hop scene but also act as cultural ambassadors. Together with MCs, DJs, and graffiti artists, they form the foundational elements of hip-hop culture.

Frank Morrison
Frank Morrison (b. 1971) started his journey as a graffiti artist in New Jersey, tagging walls with spray paint. However, it was the opportunity to tour with music artist Sybil as a breakdancer, an influential high school art teacher, and a visit to the Louvre Museum in Paris that opened him up to new artistic and creative avenues. An early indoctrine into hip-hop culture can be seen through Morrison’s work, which has been dubbed a mash-up of urban mannerism, graffiti and abstract contemporary, and reflects deeply on the lost of human stories from past eras. Morrison strives to capture people as they are, translating emotions through his paintings and leaving a memoir of our life and times today.Most in stock items ship in 0 to 5 business depending upon the shipping method selected during checkout.
