One of the few groups to come from the dancing side of Jerkin' and transition to the music making.

Jerkin' Style and Dance Catching On in L.A.

via alltherage

It's been a year since Jerkin' really broke outside of California, since then none of the major labels have done anything with it(damn shame) and the groups have had to do their own work to keep their movement alive(someone had to do it).

The LA Times/All The Rage comes to the rescue again and shines the spotlight on the Southern California rap style and subculture's influence on urban style.

This weekend a Jerkin Showdown with all of the hottest groups will take place at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

40 crews will compete for the title of National Jerk Association L.A. Champion.

Expect Pink Dollaz, UCLA Jerk Kingz, The Ranger$ and more to be there. The Los Angeles Clippers are even getting involved with the event offering giveaways and promising family fun.

DSE is one of the few blogs to post on Jerkin so heavy. Good movement, too bad the music labels don't know what to do with it.

Another one of the hot new female jerk groups.

Video: Baby Dollz - "My Cookie"

This group is one of the most polished that I've seen come out of the Jerk movement.

Their records have good mixes, images are complete and video looks good. I like the way they used the cookie shop to get away from the real topic and the Faizon Love cameo.

Jerk Mix Video from LA Weekly

via laweekly

The Jerk Mix features New Boyz, The Rangers, JINC Ent, YT, Cold Flamez & Pink Dollaz.

That JINC "Bad Chick Alert" is dope!! I'm not mad at that.

Video: The Bangz ft. New Boyz - "Found My Swag"

I hope Ella Ann is better. I really liked the combination of Sabi and Ella together. I see a lot of cameos in this video.

I like the fact that these Jerk songs are mixed better than they were last year, gives them better shelf life and makes them bang better in the clubs.

Come on Warner/Asylum, you only got a few more months before it's on to the next. Ish is starting to look like Hyphy.

Put the records out.

Jerkin Finally Gets Featured In The New York Times

via nytimes

After initially covering the Jerkin' movement coming out of Los Angeles, I was pleased with the amount of coverage it was getting. Fast forward to fall of this year and the stories are not as easy to find.

Fortunately, the NYT did a good job of tying together the dance's past influences, featuring some of the dancers and they've added a nice audio-visual(click here to see it)feature.

Read the article here...

Check out the interactive audio-visual feature, "Do The Tippy Toe"...

Can we finally get to hear some of these records?

Cold Flamez - " Lost My Girl"

Another one from them dudes from Long Beach.

Hit up their MySpace at www.myspace.com/coldflamez...

I'm getting a lot of email and hits from all over about Cold Flamez, New York in particular. I'm looking forward to hearing something from these cats at the top of 2010.

Keep puttin' in that work fellas, we see you out here in the New York area.

Until I get another Cold Flamez joint, check out this Jerk Mix video from LA Weekly:
