From the Dynamic Breakers bio over @ OSHH
...They also appeared on ABC’s local New York affiliate, WABC-Channel 7 in a televised talent contest sponsored by Swatch (who would later go on to sponsor the ground-breaking Hip Hop tour, “Fresh Fest”). Dynamic won 1st place in the contest. The grand prize was supposed to be a role in Harry Belafonte’s upcoming film, “Beat Street“, however, they never appeared in the film due to a financial dispute between their management and the film’s producers.

Dynamic also recorded two singles for Sunnyview Records, “Dynamic (Total Control)” and “Kim”. The song “Dynamic” was actually supposed to be a duet with a rap group Total Control. The members of Total Control (emcees Dynamike, Frankie Dee and DJ Johnny Juice) all attended Hillcrest High School with Dynamic. Dynamike was teammates with the four original Rockers on the gymnastics team and wrote the song after seeing the crew win the contest on TV. Before the song was released, Total Control had a dispute with Breakdance Int’l., who had arranged the original record deal. This resulted in the record being released with the Dynamic Breakers being listed as the artists, even though Total Control was responsible for most of it’s content (the music was done by Cozmo D of electro/hip hop band, Newcleus). Eventually, Dynamic went on to record “Kim” on their own and Total Control dissolved when Dynamike and Johnny Juice joined Newcleus...

Nice that it's getting the screening....good stuff!
