B-Boys get all the chics...
You gotta love hip-hop man. Really, when you see what it is really about, there is no way you can deny how amazingly beautiful and true the spirit of it is. I've never been a fan of "angles". Not the kind used to build divine structures.. the kind used to present people under a guise. If I had to represent an "angle", I'd love to be the ambassador of authenticity.
The Supreme Beings are authentically official. In the words of the infamous StarPower, they train hard, win effortlessly. Cavwins.com is all about that kind of winning.
Meet B-Girl Martyr, B-Boy Jiggz, and BongoRoc. Queens natives who live and breathe this shit. These aren't some "I got inspired to dance after watching "Shall We Dance"" breakers, they do it and they do it all the way. You can be sure to catch The Supreme Beings at any of the reputable battles and jams that take place in NYC and beyond. But even more importantly is how they totally embody the hip-hop spirit, whether they know it or not, and that is really dope. When they took the time from their busy schedules to collaborate with us for this shoot, I was extremely psyched. I knew from onset that this was going to be memorable and fun.
C$TG from Chay Styles proved yet again why she is NOT just a stylist. The woman is a force all her own, matching true talent, with saavy know-how, professionalism, and vision. She is not a stylist.. that term has become too networking event barstool for her. She is an artist and an innovator.
If that weren't enough to complete this superhero team we had the masterful eye and skill of Slinky behind the lens. The man is a god.
Special shout outs to the beautiful Nic Williams who laced the make-up with the hand of a fine artist and to Nikela Chambers who tamed the manes. Are we the X-Men? hmmm..
