CJ, from North Side Chicago, breakin' since '98, was one of the first breakers I distinctly remember witnessing in person when I first started breakin' in 2011. Crooks Crew was a household name in the Midwest at the time. A special moment to learn a little bit about the person behind this inspiring dancer.

Great interview

[@K1DWOLF]

Literally he is my biggest inspiration for breaking. Especially being a brotha ✊🏿, he has always looked out for me and so many young men. CJ is the best man!!

[@KevinBeacham21]

This is dope. Great questions and CJ is great at (fittingly) breaking it all down, and I have many memories of seeing CJ on the floor at many events in Chicago and Scribble. And, dope to hear him shout out the Chicago crews and individuals, so many memory in those names!!

Dope interview!! CJ now a legend; I remember when I hit the scene and was already primed for greatest! S/o to THE ROYALE 😂🤘🏽

I have never judged MTA either, though CJ would have definitely been a qualified judge for it. Good look on the interview✊🏾
