Mr. Wiggles "Rock Steady Break Beats" (Vol.1, Mixtape)


This mixtape is from Bronx, N.Y. DJ, and Rock Steady crew member, Mr Wiggles. Steffan “Mr. Wiggles” Clemente is one of the most dynamic and influential figures in Hip-Hop culture. He is a member of the world renown Rock Steady Crew and The Electric Boogaloos. He's been blessed with the ability to dance, act, choreograph, teach, produce music, and is a gifted Grafitti artist. “Mr. Wiggles is Hip-Hop’s jack-of-all-trades – skilled in Popping, Locking, Bboying, Graf-writing and MCing…” (Rap Pages). I just wanted to shine a quick light back on his classic "Rock Steady Breaks" mix... Volume 1 (there are a few others). Considered one of the holy grails of break-beat tapes, you'll wanna dig into this classic mix below. Anyone know exactly what year this tape hit the pavement? Dig in...
