Presented by: Lean Rock, Paulskee, Wary

True fans of the culture won’t want to miss the IBE book presentations. For the 2025 edition, the festival will spotlight two special sessions featuring three legendary figures who made a major impact on the culture.

Lino “Lean Rock” Delgado jr. & Paul “Paulskee” Ruma present:
THESE ARE THE BREAKS! offers an intimate glimpse into the world of Hip Hop culture, where Lean Rock battles the highs and lows of achieving mastery, confronts the shadows of perfectionism, and navigates the complexities of mental health. This is a story of resilience, growth, and the personal cost of greatness—told from within the
movement, by one of its most iconic artists.

El Houari “Wary the Warrior” Si Abdelkader presents:
Don’t Stop the Rock! by Wary the Warrior is the first book entirely dedicated to Rock Dance, an urban dance that emerged on the streets of New York in the early 1970s.
Often misunderstood and rarely documented, this form of expression predates the rise of Hip-Hop and has deeply
influenced disciplines like Breaking.
