R.I.P. KING KISER: Chicago and Beyond X-M...

Recommended Posts

Rest in Peace Kiser (cab/xmen)

Kise passed away August 16, 2004, doing somthing he loved, he was hit by a train on the Howard Red line. For those that know he was a northside redline king, but he'd also been all-city for sure. He'd been bombin for over 10 years and always kept it illegal. He knew what to bomb, when to bomb, and where to bomb, he was surely one of the few that knew what real graffiti was all about. He was also one real motherfucker, a no bullshit type of person, I am proud to have known him, and gravely sad at his passing at such a young age, he had just turned 22 last saturday. Please pay your dues, if you know him, met him, or have pictures of his work contribute, any little story will do. His name will certainly live on, if you visit chicago and look anywhere, in the smallest crack you will see his name. While other writers bombed the buffed brown walls, he MADE brown walls thru his insistence in hitting the virgin spots, this is a short collection of his work.

Rest In Peace Brother

you will be missed.

King Kiser

your homie POLACK chicago xmen...

oh my fucking god

this shit is unreal

Kiser was one of the few cats i actually kicked it with outside our bullshit art school

i dont know chicago very well so he kind of showed me the ropes here and there (he knew this city down to the t), and was probably the only chicago writer that i really knew sort of well.

RIP KISER

KING KISER

 

As i was going to paint the yellow line one rainy night i ran into Kiser on the red line he and a friend had just gotten out of halsted and ashland but that didnt slow him down abit. He informed me that i was a dumbass for trying to go hit that in the rain and that the strip would be submerged. Lucky for me Kise invited me back to his crib for a blunt and some bomb ass irish chocolate cookies. He welcomed me into the crib and we watched some AMAZING fotage of him bombing the expressway and then some episodes of the shield. We talked about who was doing things who was wack and which bombers "knew how to take up space" he described to me that a real bomber comes to the wallo and says "i am taking this." Not many people out there (especially in chicago) know how to bomb like he does. I am deeply saddened by what happened to Kiser. and i am working on putting together the pictures i have of his work. You will be missed brother.

R.I.P. Kiser. German for King

Fuck that shit is so fucking sad to hear. I just blazed a blunt last weekend with him and made plans to paint with him but never got a chance. We sat on a roof top looking out over the skyline just bullshitting. I knew there was a reason I changed my plans for the night to smoke that blunt. I looked up to him for so long. When I first met him at a party I was drunk and even younger and more ignorant and he had to step in and save my dumb ass from getting rocked. I was so fuckin stupid and proud he stuck up for me when he didn't even barely know me. I'll post his Ashland bridge room piece when I figure out how.

 

Kiser was a great fucking person, a good skater, and a fucking king of Chicago.

 

My condolences to his family and friends
