A-Long vs Chris K at New York Champs #beatboxbattle #beatbox #libbx

What an amazing weekend! Performing at American champs has been a dream for me since I was 13, so getting to actually be on stage was such an unreal experience. I placed 34th, which I honestly can’t complain about after preparing for just two days in advance (I had finals right before). It was intimidating being on stage, but after looking up and seeing the crowd hype me up, I felt the love of the community, and the nerves just went away. I have so much motivation to keep improving, and ill come back next year better than ever. Also, since insta won’t let me add text to a video, i wanted to say that @maxim_beat_box @tnkbeatbox @senbbx_ @rikkispamig yall were glazing over NOTHING that elim was ass😭. Also big ups to @kutmastaskutt and @jaylip_bbx who i didnt have pictures of but made the bnb experience so much better. See yall next time🫡

I wanted to make a post to share how amazing this summer has been for me and to give a thanks to everyone who helped make it happen. I have been beatboxing for almost six years now and I feel like I have made more progress in the last three months then since when I started back in 2020. Between my first live event at @longislandbeatbox , qualifying for @dlowmusic ’s online event, our first CT meetup, and FINALLY buying my own mic, there have been so many developments in the last few months that completely changed the way I view the art form. Huge thanks to @misobeatbox for guiding me around nyc, @dkoybeatbox for giving me some pointers on my material, @matchbeatbox for giving me a place to stay, and most of all, @jaylip_bbx for everything you have done for me. Seriously, none of this wouldve happened without you. Bro singlehandedly started my music career haha In all seriousness, I couldn’t have done any of these alone, and even if you werent mentioned im still grateful for your support. I’m so proud to be apart of the most generous and compassionate community on earth, and i cant wait to show the world some new stuff in the future. Youll see more from me soon!
