Mr. Wave Of The New York City Breakers Debuts 'You Can't Erase Me' Documentary Series

Legendary dancer Mr. Wave of The New York City Breakers has debuted the first episode of his documentary series, You Can't Erase Me. "Secrets", chronicling the life of Brooklyn MC Sparky D is now available for streaming on Fox Soul. In a recent exclusive interview with Rock The Bells, Wave explained how his film company, Reel Sung became a reality, and Sparky's inspirational story.

"The birth of Reel Sung was really when I released my documentary, Wave: A True Story Of Hip-Hop with Brian Bullock," Wave reveals. "It was just me and Brian, one camera and one Iphone." Wave explains that he was filming Funkmaster Willie D with Special K of The Treacherous Three, and LJ Wix from the Netherlands.

"Brian was in charge of the interviews, but that day he couldn't really control the environment. It wasn't Brian, but the interviewees were messing up. I explained to them what I needed from them, and Brian pulled me into a room and told me that from what he saw, I didn't need him anymore. He said that I was ready to go out on my own." Wave sites Bullock as his mentor and inspiration to film and direct documentary films.

Wave says that the truth has not been told about the practitioners and brick layers from Hip-Hop's first generation. Concerning his own story, he says that it was a difficult one to tell. "I started breaking down, I'd been holding this shit for 40 years. Too long.

Brian wanted it to be about Mr. Wave, and I wanted it to be about the truth. He wanted to concentrate on my legendary status, and I wanted to concentrate on legacy." This search for the truth is at the root of Wave's You Can't Erase Me Series, which includes films chronicling the lives of DJ Yella of NWA, J.J. Fad, Mr. Cheeks, Dr. Khalid El and B-Boy Alien Ness.

"Sparky's story is one of success and failure," Wave says. "It's called Secrets and its not just about her secrets, it's about all the people that she's gonna touch because of their secrets. People are holding secrets that are driving them crazy. Sparky knows what her mission is, and it's to help people with her story.
