Cali Swag District Member M-Bone Dead of Gunshot Wound

Cali Swag District member M-Bone has been killed by a gunshot wound in his hometown of Inglewood California.

Cali Swag shot to stardom with their popular single “Teach Me How to Dougie” that resonated not only with fans but other hip-hop and R&B artists.

In fact, teen pop star Justin Bieber even devotes a segment of his concert show to teach his fans how to Dougie, and Ellen DeGeneres frequently features the Dougie on her syndicated show.

M-Bone, 19, who said he was a big fan of singers like Michael Jackson, New Edition and Kris Kross, considered himself to be the wild one of the group saying,

"If it ain't fun, then it ain't me! I bring the fun, the energy and the hype something I believe that's missing in entertainment today. I'm about to bring something new; something they've never seen before."

It appears that M-bone was the victim of a random drive-by shooting while the rapper was standing next to his car in front of a liquor store. Police say they shooter was alone in a car driving on Le Brea Avenue about 11:30 last night when he shot the hip-hop star.

Police have opened a murder homicide investigation into the incident.

Cali Swag is comprised of rappers C-Smoove, Yung and JayAre, and M-Bone who was the dancer of the group before his death. They are a young hip-hop performance machine originating from the streets of Inglewood California.

Martha Graham (May 11, 1894 – April 1, 1991) was an American dancer choreographer regarded as one of the foremost pioneers of modern dance, whose influence on dance can be compared to the influence Stravinsky had on music, Picasso had on the visual arts, or Frank Lloyd Wright had on architecture.^[1] Graham was a galvanizing performer, a choreographer of astounding moves. She invented a new language of movement, and used it to reveal the passion, the rage and the ecstasy common to human experience. She danced and choreographed for over seventy years, and during that time was the first dancer ever to perform at The White House, the first dancer ever to travel abroad as a cultural ambassador, and the first dancer ever to receive the highest civilian award of the USA: the Medal of Freedom. In her lifetime she received honors ranging from the Key to the City of Paris to Japan's Imperial Order of the Precious Crown. She said, "I have spent all my life with dance and being a dancer. It's permitting life to use you in a very intense way. Sometimes it is not pleasant. Sometimes it is fearful. But nevertheless it is inevitable." (Source: Wikipedia)

"Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Just get up and dance. Great dancers are not great because of their technique, they are great because of their passion.”
There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique.
And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable it is nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.
You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you.
Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive.

~Martha Graham to Agnes de Mille
