Here is New York - There are roughly three New Yorks. There is, first, the New York of the man or woman who was born here, who takes the city for granted and accept its size, its turbulence as natural and inevitable. Second, there is the New York of the commuter- the city that is devoured by locusts each day and spat out each night. Third, there is the New York of the person who was born somewhere else and came to New York in quest of something... Commuters give the city its tidal restlessness, natives give it solidity and continuity, but the settlers give it passion. E.B White (1899- 1985)

When Mario Lopez called out SoReal Cru's name, they couldn't believe it. Brian "Brianbuyolyol" Fucanan said it best, "Are you serious? We feel like we deserve to be in the top but hearing it is such a different thing. It was so unexpected. We believe in ourselves. Just to hear it, we made our goal and now we have to set our goal higher."
