On 2/24/13, Specs Crew was specing the crowd at Symmetry Café in Downtown Hartford during the Neutral Grounds event. Specs Crew wants to give much respect to Zulu Camacho of Zulu Nation 860, Underground Coalition, Mic On Deck Ent., Society of Invisibles, & The L.X.Y. Community Center.
Who ever said Hip Hop is dead? While you were sleeping or wrapping up Sunday dinner I was rocking to the beat. There is nothing wrong to rock if you can’t get your five step or head spin on. There is nothing wrong with rocking if you can’t flow. Come Get Speced and make people think you can get down. If you don’t already know Hartford has one of the hottest underground Hip Hop scenes. Now a day Hip Hop is not like the days of its inception. I can remember growing up watching LL Cool J, Rakim, Run DMC and the Beastie Boys just to name a few. They had style and a presence. I remember the days of Graffiti on the subways in New York and house parties. It’s crazy because specing has opened up a secret world and door to the underground. I’ve been walking the streets of Hartford for over 10 years and would have never known. Now when you enter this secret underground you have to respect it. I didn’t get the memo on the code yet but I figure it’s coming soon.
There are people all around us with talent. You see that Asian kid walking by you? He’s skinny not intimidating right? Well he’ll probably up rock and back spin your shoes off courtesy of Tiger Crew. You see that white chic rocking her head in the car next to you? Well that’s probably Dina Brass getting her flow on. Oh who is Dina Brass? Well check Specs Crew TV in the near future. You’re gonna see what this world has to offer. Again much respect to Zulu Camacho of Zulu Nation 860 and Michael Mic Lagasse of Mic on Deck. They have this on lock.
Now put your Adi gear on and come out to the event and Get Speced. The next event will be the Laconic Boombox Battle on March 31st 2013 at Symmetry Café. Visit the Neutral Grounds Event Page on FB for updates.
What I have learned is there are secret doors all around us. There must be a Rock Underground door I can find next. I’m looking for a connect.
