THE KRUMP MENACE
BY: ADAM "BIG WAR" WILLIAMS
A brief glance at Shaun Adams would have you believing that he is just a normal 14 year old.
A top student, baby brother
and avid Basketball player this teenager however has quite an extraordinary 6 year Krump journey.
Shaun explains that he and his brother Lushion were watching television when he first saw Krump, from there on popular movies like Rize and Stomp the Yard as well as listening to J-Squad helped to inspire and keep the brothers Krumping.
“I’m Krumping 6 years, but only 3 years properly” says Shaun who explains that when he Krumped for the first time competitively in an event hosted by Royal Fam Kings (RFK) called Kingdom Vs Worldly (KVW) is when he first saw “Proper Krump” live. He then began to Krump seriously and grew immensely over the next three years.
As time progressed Shaun began to take things more seriously noting important lessons being learning how to Praise through Krump and how to live a Krump lifestyle beyond the dance. Shaun is involved within church ministry and strives to keep and glorify God in all that he does. Krump has also helped with discipline and helping to balance life, bringing a balance between academics and free time.
After KVW, Shaun battled his brother at RFK's Brim Battles. After the event the two were invited to join the group.
