  11. The follwoing picture is the WICKED GARY card collection. This collection has handstyles from 1970 to 1972. Do your research and you'll see that many of these are the founding fathers and mothers of this culture. Sadly some of these writers are no longer with us but will never be forgotten and what they did fo the culture. A young master of style RIFF 170 repping a pretty fly tag for this collection.

  19. PHASE 2 was apart of the early years of Hip hop in NYC. PHASE has worked on quite a few album covers for many artists from all over the world. He was a man of many talents and will be greatly missed by those whose lives he touched. From albums he did designs for or rapped on here are a few examples. Continue with your own research and you will find many more as these are only a few from my personal collection. Hope you are able to discover much more about the talents and how PHASE 2 changed the world with what he did.
  20. RIFF 170 painting a STAY HIGH 149 tag in 2019. This was at the RAY-B 954 and STAN 153 wall in NYC. This was a real treat for everyone to watch RIFF do a few tags on the wall. Some of us at the jam knew this moment needed to be recorded as RIFF wasn't really painting at this point in time. VID_20190928_174626.mp4
  21. RIFF 170 coming back in 2020 and painting two walls. RIFF 170 stopped painting in 1976 and has only painted a handful of times in the 80's and late 90's. It looks like he didn't lose the magic touch and never stopped painting since 1976. Wait until RIFF 170 comes back with his famous mechanical style on the walls. 2020 was a big year for seeing a real old school Boogie down pioneer getting back up on the walls. NYC old timers jam hosted in PHILLY by SANK 1 and BABY ROCK 137. Wall from NYC
