DJ Leacy 1971-2004 R.I.P.



DJ Leacy 1971-2004 R.I.P.


Break DJ Leacy was a UK Breaks DJ who redifined the modern B-Boy DJ, by digging and popularizing more than just the traditional breaks. In the mid-90's along with his brother "Aiden Orange "Leacy, they put on a B-Boy Jam called Battle Royal and invited alot of the worlds best to Battle. The B-Boy scene was ignored by the mainstream "Hip-Hop industry" and the jam helped to inspire a new generation of B-Boys and reaffirm the UK's place on the International B-Boy stage. DJ Leacy went on to be the official Bboy Masters Pro-Am DJ and was legendary on the B-Boy circuit. Sadly he passed away in 2004 but his impact on the B-Boy scene is undeniable.

Koneeroc interviewed him at the 2003 Miami Pro/Am. It really illustrates his hard work ethic and Hip-Hop's positive competition tradition



His B-Boy mix CDs are standard at B-Boy training sessions and his Break Compilations shut down a lot of competitors, (at least they stopped some of the phone inquirers)
