Hometown Press coverage of ABDC6 crews: Phunk Phenomenon - getting 'the call' from Randy Jackson

The Daily Item (Lynn, MA newspaper) reports on hometown crew Phunk Phenomenon being chosen for America's Best Dance Crew Season 6. Favorite quotes: 
  • "It was the big dog himself, Randy Jackson.. who called the crew to give them the good news.When asked how he broke the news, the four simultaneously pumped their fists and chanted "yo, you, yo,"..."Then Chris hung up on him"
  • Describing Kassandra, the female member of the group: She dances like a dude," DiNicola said. "She's very pretty so it's unexpected what she does. We're real high energy and raw and she matches us."
  • When Phunk Phenomenon first appear on ABDC, they will wear shirts that read "Hip Hop for Hope," which is an organization that crew's director (Reia Connor)  started to raise awareness and money for Sanfilippo syndrome.
