One of The Best Performances of 2017 - Ayo & Teo - The Future Kingz, Kvng Khii & Malik DOPE

It's December, and many news organizations are rolling out their end of year reviews, and "best of" reports. Here at INLet'sGo!, we had a chance to see some amazing performances in 2017, including BTS in Chicago in March, and Jay Park, Dean, and DPR LIVE at the NBA Buzzer Beat Festival in Seoul, South Korea in July.

But performances that we didn't see live, that we wish we had, we found recently on the Hit That Dance Network's YouTube channel.

Featured on the channel, are rising stars 21-year-old Ayo & 18-year-old Teo, and dancers 'The Future Kingz' (Friendship Bros),  along with Kvng Khii and Malik DOPE at a concert at Howard Theatre in Washington D.C.

The event was uploaded back in August, and from the opening moments of the video, we see guys flipping, spinning, and dancing the latest challenge, with Ayo and Teo on the mic. The energy is raw and crazy on that stage, and it's filled with young people taking the hip-hop culture further.

If you're not familiar with Ayo and Teo, the two brothers (Ayleo Bowles and Mateo Bowles ) initially gained mass popularity with their "Reverse Challenge" dance moves on social media, and then really blew up, after dropping their song "Rolex" and the dance to go with it. Their latest song is called "Better Off Alone," and course there's a dance to go with it as well, and teens love them!

Check out highlights from that night at the Howard Theatre below.

The first interview was for the March 7th face to face with rapper Snacky Chan for Chan's YouTube series - "Undergod."   The second was for American rapper Dumbfoundead's March 20th (ep. 31) podcast of "Fun With Dumb."
