B-Boy Emile YX (top) & B-Boy Angelo (bottom).

These photos were taken in 2010 during the SA2DC exchange/mini-tour. Emile YX?, is founding member of the legendary Cape Flats hip hop crew Black Noise (Cape Town, SA). In a lot of ways, he is the godfather of South African breakdance culture, and his influence has been felt across the continent. We’ve coordinated numerous exchanges both in DC and in SA, shot multiple music videos together, and he introduced me to Gatsby sandwiches and Bunny Chow. His work in the Cape Flats community through his organization Heal the Hood is nothing short of extraordinary. DJ Thee Angelo aka B-Boy Angelo is another long time member of Black Noise and a pioneering b-boy from South Africa.

This set was part of the gallery exhibition at The Potters House in Washington, DC (August 2017). Signed.
