Born a Crime

One night our crew got invited to
dance in Soweto against another
crew. Hitler was going to compete
with their best dancer, Hector, who
was one of the best dancers in
South Africa at the time. This
invitation was a huge deal. We were
going over there repping our hood.
Alex and Soweto have always had a
huge rivalry. Soweto was seen as
the snobbish township and
Alexandra was seen as the gritty
and dirty township. Hector was
from Diepkloof, which was the nice,
well-off part of Soweto. Diepkloof
was where the first million-rand
houses were built after democracy.
