*************************************************
I first started writing in an abandoned train tunnel
on Atlantic avenue in 1977.
My earliest influences were local legends like, IZ, FUZZ-ONE, VINNY,
FANE-2(PI-2), UNCLE JOHN 178, TEAR, DUKE-9, KEVIN97 AKA
EX-ONE (I REMEMBER SEEING HIS TAG IN THE OPENING OF THE SATURDAY NIGHT
FEVER MOVIE, DINO, PONT (THE ORIGINAL) SHORTY 13, SO-ONE, SI-ONE,
COOK, DC-10, DIME 139, TEK-2 AKA SIKO, RUST, HOMIE, JESTER aka DY 167 (LIVED IN OZONE
PARK FOR AWHILE)
MY BOYS SIKE, SHARK, SACH WERE EXTREMELY INFLUENTIAL.
SAR and SN- MGA, in the E & F
yard 1977.
MY BIGGEST INFLUENCE WAS THE KING.. IZ THE WIZ.
NOBODY ,I REPEAT NOBODY BEATS THE WIZ, BOMBING, PIECES, CANVAS', FAME AND
LONGEVITY. IZ MY TMB BROTHER, YOU CAN WASH AWAY HIS NAME BUT NOT HIS
FAME.
IZ THE WIZ.
When I first started writing on the trains in 1977,Me, Shark, and Saint,
used to take the J train to the last stop and do insides. The j train just
stopped going to 168th street and now stopped at Queens Blvd. I used to
write with Piolets and niji's or el-markos. My boy SAINT got a flo pen
from NIP-112, SIKE'S BROTHER. and we used to tag insides for days.
I remember we used to take the J train to gates stationary on Gates avenue
in Brooklyn and this old Jewish couple used to run the store. We got ink
and Uni's their. This old lady was a real pain in the ass and used to
follow us around the store. We used to split up and they couldn't keep
their eyes on all of us. what ever we racked up we split up. We had to be
careful when we left cause their were a ton of writers from east new york
,they would rob your shit so we would ball our gear and run for the
station. We would stay near the top of the stairs and as soon as the train
came we would jump the turnstile. Later on the place got burnt out
and you couldn't rack up any more, they kept most of the shit behind the
counter. Green Opaque flo master was beautiful. We used to make 2 tone
UNI'S AND MINI'S.
SAR on 102st train
station j line 1978 with cippy who was fane and pi-2
I LOVED TO PAINT TRAINS, I LIKED THE FRESH AIR OF AN ELEVATED LAYUP. TO ME
IT WAS THE BEST PLACE TO BOMB.
NO PAIN IN THE ASS BY STANDER IS GOING TO WALK OUT TO THE ELEVATED TRACKS
AND MESS WITH YOU. THAT WAY WHEN SOMEONE CAME DOWN THE CATWALK IT WAS
EITHER ANOTHER WRITER OR A RAID NOTHING IN BETWEEN. I COULD REALLY BOOK ON
THOSE CATWALKS, I COULD DO THE BIRD .NOBODY EVER CAUGHT ME, EVER.
IZ and SAR. On
there fight to bring writing on the subways back
I lived between the J line and the A line in south Queens, near Brooklyn.
Once I started to write on the J'S all I remember was TOP..TOP...TOP..JAMES(JEE-2)
MICKEY 729, HURST, HATE 168, SID THE KID, NACO, IN, DIKE, SLAVE,
THEY DIDN'T BUFF THE J'S UNTIL 1980.I SAW CARS THAT WERE DONE IN 1974 THAT
STILL WERE RUNNING. THE J'S HAD MORE THROW UPS AND SIMPLE PIECES AT THAT
TIME BUT YOU LEARNED YOUR HISTORY. TAGS INSIDE THE CONDUCTORS DOORS,
LASTED FOR YEARS. I REMEMBER A WHOLE CAR BY UNCLE JOHN, TEAR AND VINNY IN
CORAL PINK, BERMUDA BLUE WITH A FED PURPLE OUTLINE.
I REMEMBER A WHOLE CAR BY MICKEY, FA-2 (HATE 168) AND HURST, THEY PAINTED A
FARM AS THE BACKGROUND , I WAS LIKE HOLY SHIT THESE GUYS WERE BUGGED OUT.
HURSTISM, HURSTOP, OI,OI,OI,
TOTOP729,MICKEY AND ANGELA.
NOBODY SEEMS TO HAVE FLICKS OF THAT OLD SHIT FROM 1977-1979 ON THE J'S. I
HAVE A FEW.
I TOOK A PHOTO OF THE FIRST TOP TO BOTTOM NACO IN SILVER IN BLACK THAT I
SAW IN 1978 BY DONDI. I CAUGHT IT WITH WINDOWS AND I GOT TO GIVE IT TO
DONDI LATER ON IN LIFE. I REMEMBER DONDI LOVES LUCY WHOLE CARS IN SILVER.
LUCY WAS DONDI'S MOM. FUZZ AND I USED TO VISIT DONDI SOME TIMES.
I WAS IN AMSTERDAM WITH HIM IN 1992 SOME GUYS STARTED TO BEEF WITH HIM AND
I HAD HIS BACK , REST IN PEACE BROTHER.

I USED TO GO TO THE M YARD WITH RISCO , JOKA 2 AND OD-ONE (OVERDOSE) I
REMEMBER GETTING RAIDED AND RUNNING OUT BEHIND THE BUS YARD. IT WAS SO
NARROW BACK THERE I REMEMBER HOLDING ON TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE WALL
AND RUNNING ALONG THE TOP LEDGE. WE USED TO GO TO THE ART COVE IN
RIDGEWOOD TO GET INK,I WAS USED TO FLO MASTER IT HAD THE GREATEST SMELL,
JUST LIKE FRESH PUSSY. THE ART COVE CARRIED MARSH INK ALSO. IN 1979 THAT
WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAD SEEN THIS INK. I RAN INTO UN-ONE AND NIF ..CW
CREW, CAUGHT TAGS WITH THEM ON MYRTLE AND WHYTCOFF
ONE OF THE FIRST TIMES I WENT TO DO THROW UP'S ON THE ELEVATED J
LAYUP THE TEN CAR LAYUP HAD BEEN KILLED BY HURST AND MICKEY ,I DID THE
SMALLEST THROW UP AND CALLED IT A NIGHT.
I wrote on the j's and A's, E'S AND F'S, CC'S.
IN 1980 I MOVED OUT OF NEW YORK AND CAME BACK IN LATE 1981. AT THAT TIME
MOST OF MY BOYS WERE INTO GETTING LUCKY WITH THE CHICKS AND GOING TO
DISCO'S SO I HUNG IT UP BUT I NEVER LET GO.
IN 1989 I GOT THE ITCH WHEN I SAW STYLE WARS ON PBS. I WAS LIKE',THEY
FILMED THIS MOVIE WHEN I MOVED OUT OF NEW YORK. AND MY BOYS, IZ THE WIZ
AND SACH ARE IN IT. I CALLED SACH, WE FOUND IZ AND THE REST IS HISTORY. WE
MADE A HUGE COMEBACK. TOO BAD ALL OF IT GOT BUFFED BUT WE TOOK TONS OF
FLIX. AS SACH WOULD SAY "REWIND MY MIND".TMB WAS BACK. THE
