Awesome shot. So rare to see shots of Lee in the lay ups.

It's nice to see those old joints that Fever posted. I remember seeing DIK getting up a lot in the mid to late 90s. KR had that great spot on the corner of Bronx River Road and Kimball Ave up high. Think it was an old gas station. Great old Pove flicks as well. Avin had a nice piece with Pove up on the tracks back then. Good stuff.

I wasn't there, but so far from what i have seen this piece above and that Know get my vote as the best.

Nice wall. Have close ups of the other pieces by any chance?

Bump Nike DESTINY Crew!

Anyone get The Destiny Children book? Tons of great stuff in there. One of the best books to come out in a while imo.

Thought it was pretty comical until i saw the Case 2 reference.

Yeah. It's amazing how much that looks like a NYC subway car.

That Beat is where it's at!

When i think of the first 2 people that had the highways killed in queens in the late 80's Saint TMR, and Duel MCI are the first that come to mind.

jesus!

Had to bump this. Cromag was really doing some great work before he passed. I can only imagine what his work would look today if he was still around.

I don't know if this was posted in here, but i find it interesting to say the least. A friend of mine sent me this. The infamous "Son Of Sam" aka David Berkowitz was friends with Cane 1, and wrote about him in his journal. " The Devil is a tireless predator. He tries hard to pluck lives from this > world before they have the chance to make their peace with God through faith > in Jesus Christ. This is the reason why he is referred to in the Bible as a > thief² who¹s come to steal, kill and destroy. Satan has been a killer of men > and a stealer of souls for thousands of years.

Dammmn!

Damn! THis is serious. PRops to KTC! That Desism, Mkay wall in Spraycan Art is one of the best (if not the best) productions in the whole book.

Damn. That Eroc and Cromag!

Damn! That's what's up.

You gotta wonder how someone was able to find something like that. hmmmmmmmm..

This really is a brilliant piece.

Great thread to bring back. RIP Rem 311!!

Is that Fre aka Furie 3 TGF??? If so it's damn good to see that guy painting again. I haven't seen a piece from him since 89. Always super fresh!
