Scott's Intro

Conversation Begins

Saying Goodbye

Hip-hop artist Victor Rivera of Rockford, Illinois, is the latest guest on the “From the Newsroom” podcast.

Rivera is a teacher, an influencer and a leader of a group of breakdancers, known as B-Boys and B-Girls in the hip-hop universe.

He’s keeping that dance style, mostly associated with 80s and 90s hip-hop, alive in future generations with events and gatherings throughout the city.

Rivera’s father immigrated as a teenager from Mexico to Rockford, eventually raising three sons here as first generation Mexican-Americans.

Rivera attended Jefferson High School in Rockford. He has a degree in sound technology and music business from Madison Media in Wisconsin.

Register Star multimedia journalist Scott P. Yates interviews Rivera about those topics and more in the latest podcast episode.
