Short film (2005) by Charlie Ahearn, director of the classic movie 'Wild Style', showing hip hop gone full circle. Starring some of the pioneers of hip hop music from the Bronx, including Grandmaster Flash's original partner DJ Easy Mike and Grand Master Caz, as well as Tanzanian hip hop pioneer Balozi a.k.a. Dola Soul from the Deplowmatz.
Balozi wanders into a Bronx barbershop on his pilgrimage to find the real hip-hop. The barber, DJ Easy Mike, calls out Grand Master Caz, who spits a rhyme on how we are in the place of hip-hops origins. Shop sweeper DOA adds vocal percussion to the mix and Balozi Dola rhymes back in his native tongue, Swahili.
