1970 -

DUKE is the man how pissed off the police by writting "Lester Lives" on the south end police station shortly after the black panther riots. Lester Lives, Referring to Lester Lema, a 17 year old who was shot to death by three whites on Cottage and Kempton st. during a police barricade to keep blacks and latinos from leaving the west end. the death of Lester Lema was the boiling point that sparked it all.

1976 - 1979: KONG, VIC, DZ178 (who also wrote MASSIAH in the 80's), KEV, BLADEZ, TITO, ACE, CHAZ, HERSHEY, and CHASE.

I know Biz personally, he was a straight up hustler / street rebel not really a writer, someone lol put a spray can in his hand and he locked down the whole city in one night, and took it from there. he was crazy like that. kool brother though if you know him.:lol:

If anyone on here has any pics of Scum Hall or the TalleyRand building (in the back of the Industrial park in N.B.) please post them up. I would love to see anything from back then actually, most of the younger kids have no idea how ridiculously dope both those spots were in the 90's. The inside of the Fort had some good shit too before they built the sewage plant and the park around it..

That was the first piece I ever saw in NB. I use to live behind the south end police station. Every kid around my block would make a detour down water st just to see that piece every day, on the way to school. Thats the piece that got me started. any pictures of the ACE and DZ178 piece on the route 18 over pass by ben rose ? that was done around 85 and was up until about 1990 when they washed it off. Classic.

 

Taz, angel, never got up that much but every piece they did was fly, even there tags, they were the first to hit up the bus terminal when they first built it. same goes for Spy RIP, didn't know he passed until I saw this.

 

DZ178 and ACE lit up the south end.
