Konee Rok is a man of many talents. Based out of Chicago, IL, he's created videos and animations featuring artists like Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, Rhymefest, Raekwon, Phife Dawg and recently worked with us on our Kickstarter campaign video. While brainstorming with Konee for storyline ideas, we stumbled upon the concept of creating a breakdancing video in Chicago's Ping Tom Park, a beautiful area near Chinatown. As a b-boy and Chicago Tribe dance crew member himself, we knew that we could find and work with some of the best dancers in the city and decided to instantly greenlight the project with the incredible talent of b-boys A.K., Josh "Phu" Cradock, Ram and funk stylist/house dancer Daria "Mulan" Ni. Check out the result below:
