Without a doubt I would have to say that Xide is one of the great kings of Jersey, but also the most underrated writer in the state. Why? Because he never sucked dick to get down like _____, and _____, ect. did. Never sent a flick to a magazine, doesn't give a fuck about trendy graff events in the state and used to bomb hard under anothere name "SK". He always painted because he truly loved the artform and never cared to much about fame. Others can have the spotlight because the truth speaks for itself: Check out the carrer of this great artist:

-Crushing Jersey before all the present day writers (Rime, Themo, Klas, Chip, Kemos) with the exception of Nace which was Xide's partner in the early 90's.

-Thousands of freights, all neat, unique, with good colrs and original style.

-Train lines for years

-A lot of highway and street bombing to the point where SK's used to dominate Route 1 and 9 all the way up to the airport, and yes he's bombed a lot of streets even doing fill ins and tags on the main streets of urban New Jersey.

-lack of legal walls but when he's done them they have always been top of the line productions. This is a good quality, cuz theres nothing worst than a writer that can't wait for the next legal zzzzzzzzz, Xide has turned down numerous legals.

-Mad clean trains around the U.S., Canada and Europe including wholecarsss

-and last but not least plenty of drunken marker bombing.

 

That piece with the orange outline and the face next to it was part of a production done by Xide, Jnub and Eich it was at the intersection of I95 and the Garden State Parkway and was extremely visible from both. Never before or after has a feat been pulled off like this one by ANYBODY.

^^^ fuck yeah. man i gotta give the dude some more credit....before a few years ago, i never really knew much about Xide, except to see a fr8 train or two now and then....then in the last few years, ive been lucky enough to paint with this guy and pretty much get a first hand lesson on a whole new facet of graff that i really wasnt down with. without getting into needless details here, lets just say XIDE is doing more work than hundreds of writers who are getting cheap fame off legal events and magazine nepotism. he took time out of his day to school me on techniques that enabled me to upgrade my resume significantly..and for that im forever indebted to the dude. if theres any justice in this sport...at the end of the day, when its all tallied up, this cat is way ahead of the pack. respect.

unless you know dude, you can appreciate but you'll never really 'understand'. and actually, even if you know him, you still wont really understand, but you'll have a shit load of hillarious stories to pass down to your grandchildren.

 

really though, i paint because of people like him, and the rest of his crew.

one of the coolest people ive ever met through writing.

 

RACE GAS!

I'm walking up the NJ transit line down by my hood one night with this girl. We run into these two dudes waiting around at the station... looking suspicious. Words are exchanged. The girl gets bored and she leaves.

 

Southbound train comes down and there's this CTA/ EYE panel on the last car. Fucking sick. The two dudes in question snap away photos and leave listening to Turbonegro.

 

Big bump for Xide and Eye, it was ill.
