Breaking was never just a dance for B-Boy Remind it was survival, self-mastery, and a way of life. In this raw conversation, the Style Elements co-founder takes us from the streets of Stockton to some of the most important moments in breaking history.

Remind shares the mindset behind his style, the Filipino concept of Bahala Na, and why he believes the real battle starts in your mind before you ever step into the cipher. He also breaks down the origins of Style Elements, legendary battles against crews like Rock Steady Crew, and experiences at Battle of the Year, UK Championships, B-Boy Summit, and more.

We also dive into the untold story behind Lords of the Floor including Reminds role in shaping the event, the importance of the floor, and how tournament-style competition helped change the presentation of breaking. From performing alongside major artists to witnessing the evolution and commercialization of breaking, Remind offers a rare perspective on the history, culture, mindset, and legacy of West Coast breaking.

If you care about breaking history, hip hop culture, and the stories behind the pioneers, this episode is for you.

B-Boy Kareem returns! what it takes to perform at a world-class level while rehabbing a hip labrum surgery, raising a family, and staying loyal to a crew that’s been rocking for nearly four decades. From battling at V1 while still recovering to making the decision to compete before another year slips by, Kareem breaks down the mindset, preparation, and sacrifices behind that run. He also shares what went into training in Denver at elevation with Data, Rose, and Bowzee and why his battle with Ronnie Ruin meant more than just another round.
