Akala played two SOLD OUT shows at the Jazz Cafe as part of the KIP2 tour this April, big up all the supporters. Here are some highlights from the shows filmed and edited by Bro Ben. Akala will be back on tour in December and have festivals through the summer.
In early April, Kansas City’s DJ B-Stee went up against some of the country’s best DJs at the Red Bull Thre3style US Finals. The “Cutting Room” turntablist faced fierce competition from seasoned DJs such as Dynamix, Trayze, and J. Espinosa, the latter of which took the crown.
Although B-Stee didn’t win, his routine was creative and well-executed. Those who didn’t attend the battle can now watch him perform it exclusively for DJcityTV in this video.
