her second, about an R&B group gone scandalously wrong.OnebrbrI can see myself winning when I close my ­eyes.brbrIt’s March. I’m at the final round of the Hogtown Showdown, the most important ­b-­boy battle of the year in all of Toronto. My crew, Rackit Klub, is up against the legendary Infinite Jest. Some of them have been breaking since before I could walk. Not only did they start this battle, they’ve won it eight times, not to mention all the titles they hold in New York, L.A. and every ­far-­flung cipher and circle around the planet. They’ve been in the newspaper. They’ve been on TV. Their videos have made the top ten of almost every ­b-­boy website there is. Sponsors give them free clothes. When local MCs want ­b-­boys in their videos, Infinite Jest gets called up first. All that’s left is for someone to name a shoe after ­them.brbrMeanwhile, me and the boys of tha Rackit Klub have trouble getting practice space at school. We can’t even get an invitation to the sessions that Infinite leads. So far, nothing we do grabs their attention. Or anyone else’s.brbrUntil ­today.brbrYou can feel it in the air. Something amazing is going to happen. The crowd knows it too. As we’re called to the floor, everyone–­b-­boys, fans, ­photographers–­they all rush to the side of the circle. Some use their elbows to get to the ­front.brbrInfinite jokes around with fans and makes fun of the ­DJ–­a personal friend. By now, anyone who’s anyone in this scene and not jealous is a personal friend of Infinite Jest.brbrI’m terrified, but@fffffgÿ¾Û€  (less)
