I guess I started like everyone, writing on the schools black board with the chalk turn side ways to get that wide uni look, like the ones "IZ the Wiz" and "AS2" were doing back in the mid 70's.  Back in those days I'll see tag all over the school yards and hand ball courts,
the tags that I saw were "NIF", "UN" ,"HEC", SOUL" , TO 729 top", " HURST ", STAF " and many others. This was in Williamsburg a section in Brooklyn I use to live right across the street from Knickerbocker ave in the corner of hart street. I remember the black out and the looting. that's how I can remember years. in 1977 I moved to Florida with my grandmother to make a better life. I Believe I remained there till late 1978 the turning point for me will have to be when my older cuzen took me to the movie to see "THE WARRIORS" man" that movie just gave me the chills when I saw the tag that I was familiar with.. seeing "NIF", " IZ", "T-59" I was thinking to my self man these guys are famous looking at the big screen this was a site to see, that's when I got home sick. After the film I got home and told my grandmother that I wanted to move back to Brooklyn, I'll will bug her everyday ill even cry in till she gave up and sent me back to live with my mother, there was one problem I won't be coming back to Williamsburg my mom was now living in "SUNSET PARK. one thing I notice about sunset. is that it looked cleaner, I felt like I was living in the suburbs, it's funny how you see the world when you are young and naive.

 

 I met allot of writers in sunset park but one stood out from the rest I was going to perching J.H.S and notice this dude, he always had people around him like he was an important finger or something I later got introduce to him. his name was "MR.R"-masters of disasters prez, and the people around him were  "SIKE" and his bro KOMAK. ERA, SWAN, BREW and COMA these are the original members. we got along from the start i was writing ERO at the time this was 1979 he put me down with the crew. so that was the first writing crews i was down with but late 1979 I moved back to bushwick brooklyn were i met KP wr who was up on the (J) and (LL) with his simple tag, he did not have that killa throw up yet, so KP introduced me to "SAKE" aka YD43, wich he did not write yet.. one time i m at the freight yards by glendall can't remember the location but i was hiting the freights with my to tag ERO  when all of sudden these two dudes show up asking me what i write. but they don't look to friendly i said what i wrote but they didn't seem interested and what i wrote they wanted a tag with my marker i had a feeling this guys wanted more than a tag they were there to rip me off, but thank god "KP' shows up and tells them to leave me alone that he knows me so "KP save my but from getting rip't off, the dude's names were "HEAT" aka WARLORD Writers Revenge prez and "FIST" after that, we became good friends they put me down with WR but i still need it a better name,so we were hanging out one day at Heat house and i trying to come up with a kool name. the T.V was on and this commercial comes on can't remember but it was Delco transmissions or some thing to that effect, and Heat tells me that's a kool name if you drop the last CO and put a K" so i started to practice with D-E-L-K and every time i took a tag it just flow so that's how a became DELK.. so here I'm going back and forth from bushwick to sunset just meeting writers from both borrow  back in sunset park MR.R introduced me to SES dog who was always with this Little kid that wrote  TAX3 we started hitting together and the took me down to 61st street were AC and his brother Joenuts live this was the place to meet writers this was our 149st bench but it was ac & joe stoop  you see BADTAXI Sor DG . magoo2 and custom Ret Rote Roach EM tfv  this was before tbk it was "NYC . i was hiting every layup and elevated lay ups with AC & BT but the dude that i really like hitting with was  Krook. I met Krook when he was writing SC3  all of a sudend he change his tag to Krook and he started hanging out on 61st street he was good friends with Tax3 so we became partners and got to king the (B) (N) (D) (RR) these are the lines we really dominated, at around this time AC started slowing down he basically king'd all line including the IRTs with Rote this is one dude that never gets mention and he was the inside king hand down.. true inside king..at a round this time i was also bombing with "WR crew hiting the (LL) (M) (A)(CC)(J) I didn't hit the IRT .I use to hit lines that i ride on so that i can see my tags running that was my high.seeing my tags on every train i took if i wasn't up and the the train was in motion. you best believe I'm gonna leave my mark even if there were people sitting in the train, some would say something but other were too scared and kept reading there newspapers, I just had to leave my tag, when you are young you think you are gonna live forever, A funny story about racking. Krook and I walk into his hardware store and we racking paint when we walking out we notice the owner had John travoter pictures all over the wall. of john when he did saturdaynight fever, me and krook were cracking up we just rack up the store from the movie's saturdaynight fever..   to be continue.  
 I had the best of two worlds, when it came down to being at the right place at the right time. AC took me to dewie yards we went through the school yard were the fence was cut. that were i was introduced to "Sago"& Boe aka July4  we became friends and i was able to go in to the the yard with no worries that I'm gonna get vamp'd. in other words rip off or beat up,but you still have to be on the look out from the marboral project thugs these dudes will put a beatdown on any one who wasn't from the projects and they didn't care if you was down with wow crew, they will take your stuff and if you was lucky they'll let you go unharmed..
there was this dude who use to write Case & Fly who be hanging out by the school yard just waiting for writers to vamp, they didn't like me but i was good friends with Sago so they'll leave me alone..
 NYC crew was kool with Wow crew so they let us use the yard.
 
But some beef broke out between Boe and Tax3 i can't remember if Boe went over Tax3 or Boe rip off one of Tax3 homeboy's that beef put NYC crew  at odds with Wow crew at around that time Joenuts came out with The Brooklyn kids TBK.  TBK is the new NYC same members from 61rst street AC&JOEnuts stoop, there were three place's we all use to meet at  61rst 53rd or the Dog house that was SES club house it was located by the "King Kong Caves A fame spot were writers use to do pieces.I had a piece down there with Sake that lasted many years..to be continue
