"...stood above Popz 'The Love Story' blockbuster piece from 1989. One of only 2 photos of the full crew from that time. left to right... Cruel 103, Popz 100, Ash 101, Rip 102, Icke, Gilti 104, Deze, Tamol, Shandy 105, Ceak, R.One. . The motivation to get every member of the crew together at the same place at the same time (if i remember rightly) was because James Prigoff (co author of 'Spray can art') had invited me to include some of my work in his next book. A kind of spraycan art 2. But he never made that book as far as I know. Oh hum... at least we all came together like that briefly and got a couple of full crew shots for such occasions as this. One Love all. Popx"

WINNER OF NOVEMBER 2009
HANIFA AND THE B BOYS
1985 in Heathtown Wolverhampton, England
"I think the story might have been that we successfully applied to Puma for tracksuit sponsorship and were amazed at their generosity. The reason they helped was that It coincided with a promotional tour that the B Boys did to publicise the PolyGram Video Electro Rock, the definitive UK Hip Hop film shot at the London Hippodrome in March 1985. Everyone got issued with the latest grey/yellow tracksuits, red sweat tops and trainers. The background is a Wolverhampton Council-commissioned mural in a pedestrian walkway carried out by the Supreme Graffiti Team at Long Ley Primary School, Heathtown, Wolverhampton. Martin"
