Some insight on the life of a Massive Monkee
Rawness
Freestyle Session is arguably the most prestigious event in the world. It has a huge stage battle yet in my opinion still has that rawness that makes a bboy event what it is. FSS was also the first major event that we entered as a full crew. When we entered FSS6 in 2003 it introduced the whole Massive Monkees Crew to the scene and at FSS8 we established ourselves as one of the top crews in the world takin' out some crazy all-star squads yet we still fell short at both events taking 2nd place twice.
My physical preparation consists of training my body, eating right and practicing. Mentally I am staying focused making sure to give myself time for meditation and staying disciplined by cutting out my vices. Also, I am making sure to give my family time and getting ahead on business so that I don't have anything weighing on my mind at the competition...
Faded. Win, Lose or Draw.
I can't wait for this battle. I've been waiting for this weekend for months. I know the first day of the comp is going to be easy. All we need to do is qualify and do what we do best. Day two wont be as easy. It will be four battles (to the finals) and it'll be a lot of waiting around as usual. I think there's gonna be a lot of hard crews out there; you have your Skill Methodz crew (one of my favorites), Killafornia, Zulu Kings (defending champs), Knuckle Headz, etc... Some pretty hard crews out there. I hope we make it at least to the finals. This weekend will be pretty much hard work and play afterwards. Win, lose, or draw I'm getting faded on Sunday even if I have to wake up early for work the next day after my early flight back to Seattle! Super!

Slippery Jam
There were a lot of mixed feelings about freestyle session weekend. It was disappointing and dope at the same time. The bad part of the weekend was of course not winning the competition. This particular jam always seems to slip out of our hands every time we enter. I know if we were more prepared we could have taken the whole thing. But you can't win them all. Even with the loss it was still mad fun being with all the homies and just hanging out. The most interesting part of the weekend for me was the little beef I got into with floor phantom. He's a bboy from Zulu kings I have been wanting to call out for a while and as soon as I saw him in the cypher that's just what I did. We went about 6 to 7 rounds and in all honesty I thought I took him.

Short & Sweet
Freestyle Session is an annual event that we have always strived to win since our group came together. Most of the time we come so close to winning, but we get second place! Hopefully this year we can change that. I haven't taken part in Freestyle Session for the past few years. So this year I've been trying to get hyped up and practice. Also trying to be positive to my fellow teammates so they are motivated! If we win this, the first thing to do is, celebrate!
