Your group seems to have a bond that transcends brotherhood, friendship and family. How would you explain it? Do you think that bond is an essential ingredient in your success right now? We for sure think it essential. It goes beyond dance. It's really about chemistry and a family/trybe mentality.

Eight years after your America's Best Dance Crew win, you had numerous product endorsements, campaigns, collaborations, JBWKZ Clothing, JBWCKZ record, shows, Las Vegas Residency at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino, tours, awards and accolades; What do you think is the recipe in achieving a sustainable, long-term career in the industry? There really is no recipe. It's as simple as if you want it go and get it. If you have a passion for something you're always gonna find a way to pursue it. Whether you fail or win you'll still keep pursuing it.
