5th Element.... The Knowledge...

In his new book B-Boys, B-Girls, and Hip-Hop Culture in New York author Joseph Schloss has researched the art of the b-boy, and the b-girl, from the ground level. Based on interviews with many significant figures in the dance's movement, Schloss examines the genre's afterlife in underground venues in New York and around the world. From African tradition to professional gymnastics; from the Incredible Bongo Band's 1973 dance hit "Apache" to the iconic martial artist Bruce Lee, FOUNDATION illustrates the unique history and influences of the b-boy, and b-girl, culture.
