The Beginnings | Interview w/ Do-Knock @DoKnock_SC3 | Part 1 | #SXSTV
"The Beginnings" | Interview with Do-Knock @DoKnock_SC3 | Part 1 | #SXSTV
Our Part 1 Interview with Jon Cruz aka Do-Knock (Battle Monkeys, Full Force, Super Cr3w) explores his beginnings of Hip Hop and Bboy'ing. Learning from his brother, watching old VHS tapes, breaking with SFA (sent from above), and his first jam Bboy Summit '99.
Do-Knock shares a lot of knowledge about what breaking inspired him to be, overcoming teachers telling him he couldn't, and a great story about his transition from "Baby Legs" to "Do Knock."
Pay attention to important themes within this interview as he talks about "Crash to Create," something Bboy Ivan would always say to expanding your dance.
