Fast Breakin' Art est. 1978

 

Founding memebers:

 

AIRBORN ONE (Prez) aka: Flying High '79 (originally wrote Audi 5000)

 

SPADE 127 aka: 2Real (originally wrote Ace 140)

 

TACK aka: Sab, Bas, Kar, Kan, Pas, Sure, Was, Saw (originally wrote Tack2)

KAZE aka: MUG TC5 (originally wrote kamiKaze)

 

DORE aka: SEP (made up the name "Fast Breakin' Art", from his cousin's: The BBOY

named Fast Break of Rock Steady Crew)

 

-----------------------

 

Origin:

 

Spade and Airborn grew up together from diapers on 140th street & broadway.

When they realized that each other had got into writing the decided to form a crew together.

The first attempt at a crew was Airborn's NSA: Non Stop Action

The second attempt was Spade's WKTU a popular disco station) Writers Killing The Undergound

 

They were bombing the neighberhood streets and then the layups at 145th under broadway.

 

---------------------

 

On the first day of school in 78, Airborn met Tack at the 137 st station on their way to Art & Design High School.

They realised that Tack lived on 140th also, but on the other side of broadway, they became friends and at A&D, they made the connects that would lead them to greatness.

 

--------------------

 

At A&D they met Dore and Kaze from the Bronx. Dore had the name FBA, tack thought the name was too fresh to just be in the Bronx and in Books. So they formed the FBA Crew.

 

.......................

 

Spade and Airborn were writing as partners, Repel 137 had quit already. Tack needed a paartner.. Alive 5 who was also from 140th, but had been living in Brooklyn with his girl (he was an adult already at the time) had come back to live at his moms crib for a while. He knew Spade and Airborn since they were little and was surprised that they now were writers. So he joined FBA and schooled them on the ropes, and became Tacks first partner.

-------------------

 

FBA started pulling out mad cars on the 1 line and started getting known.

At school, they were under the tutilage of Doze and Seen TC5. Part of their drive in the early days was to get known so Seen would put them down with TC5.

 

It took them 9 months to get down. (when u see someone EVERY DAY at school, thats a long time)

 

------------------

 

Airborn left NYC in 1981 when his family moved to Florida.

 

He left the Crew to Spade and Tack.

This led to the 2nd generation of FBA.

----------------------------------------

 

Thats it for now, hope you all enjoy the history.

And the Dap is much appreciated.

New York, during the mid-1980's, was an amazing time for graffiti writers. Trains were crushed, styles were poppin, and TC-5 was one of the main crews at the forefront of the thriving graffiti scene.

 

The crew's roots originate from the early 1970's with The Crazy 5, which was a legendary crew from the Bronx with an impressive roster consisting of BLADE, DEATH, VAMM, TULL 13, CRACHEE, and later AJAX, COMET, SILVER TIPS, and MAZE. Keep in mind, in the earlier days of graffiti, most writer's wrote for a few years then moved on. COMET and BLADE weren't the average writers though, and crushed NYC Transit through the late 70's into the early 80's.

 

After most of the original members of The Crazy 5 had retired, in a somewhat controversial move at the time, COMET granted presidency of TC-5 to a writer from the Bronx named SEEN (or as some called him, L'il SEEN). SEEN reshaped the crew with some of the freshest writers of his generation such as BEAM, JUICE, DOZE, DOC, LADY PINK, as well as expanding the crew primarily from the Bronx into a true All-City force. As you can see from the flicks, TC-5 rocked the number and letter lines hard with some of the freshest cars pulled out on the NYC Subway system, and has continued to push the boundaries of contemporary letter and character styles over the past 25 years
