Frosty Freeze

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Frosty Freeze, also known as The Freeze To Please (born Wayne Frost on 8 December 1963 in New York City, New York, USA) is a legendary old school hip hop breakdancer best known worldwide as a member of the second generation of the acclaimed hip hop/breakdancing crew, The Rock Steady Crew.

As a member of RSC, he was known for his comedic, highly acrobatic but yet fearless and inventive style, due to his trademark move, "The Suicide", also known as "The Death Freeze Drop" (a move that he created accidentally by attempting a poorly executed backflip and landing on his back).

His talents with the crew were featured in movies such as Flashdance, Wild Style, and Style Wars and made history as the first b-boy to appear on a magazine cover (The Village Voice, 1981). He was also featured in early hip hop music videos like Afrika Bambaataa and The Soulsonic Force's "Planet Rock" and Malcolm McLaren's "Buffalo Gals".

In 2004, he along with several other members of RSC were honored at the VH-1 Hip Hop Honors.

As of today, Frosty Freeze still resides in New York City and still makes appearances at many hip hop/breakdancing events in the NYC area and all over the country.
