Mark your calendar on September 26 and 27, Friday and Saturday, for the 2008 DMC World DJ Championship finals in London, England at the Indig02. If you are in the United Kingdom, you already have heard the tickets are sold out by now, but I am sure you know a cousin of a friend’s [...]
A few days ago, I wrote about Graff Crews, and how they function and execute. I also expressed how a solid crew is born after time when members find their roles by their strengths eliminating weaknesses.
