i've been a writer since 1995

i started cause i've seen many good things put up in philly, and it intrested me. also many older kids i knew did it and gave me my first name, so i felt obliged to start. i wanted to do it anyway cause i wanted to be "known" like most of them were. it just seemed like i was meant to do it. also i loved the rush of writing and watching out for police. its the adrenaline that i really love. also now thaqt i am older it is really nice to walk by somewhere and see something i did in the late 90's.
also my friends were getting into it too, so it was something we all bonded over. there are many reasons i wrote, but most of all just for the expression of myself that comes with the territory.

word, I started writing in grammar school on some solo shit. I didnt chill with anyone that wrote for my first 3 years, this way I felt more confident and I could go on missions throughout the city and explore. just ride the el trains and write, I would get on the train in the beginning of the line and get off evry three or four stops, except the projects(they get extra grimey over there) and hit up shit. After awhile the solo shit got boring and people started to know my name a bit and when iwas a sophmore in high school I started exploring the city and clicking with some writerz and shit. I used to skate alot and my guy Fero was always an ill ass artist, so i got him to start writing. He lived in littl mexico of Chicago so there was hella writaz. Then my guy powder was ill at art too so I got him to write thus forming FTP crew. I cant forget about Saviar though, he bombed chicago like Iraq, hitting up our signature paddy wagons and cop cars on the weekly basis. So altogether Iv'e been writing for about 6 years and piecing for about 3.
I write because it's my strongest outlet for expression, I dont get angry with people or fight people, I fuck up the city. I was working since I was 14 and when I saw i was paying taxes for all this bogus shit I wanted to get back at the city. After i was a bit established on the scene, I just bombed because I could. I never felt more triumphant painting a cop car while there in dunkin donuts with a full fill/outline and having them look salty as hell when they see there whip, or when the try and catch us and fail. Most of all I like owning the city though. when i would kill an area it would be mine, or at least had my name written over it. Going through different parts of the city miles apart and still seeing my shit from ghetto to ghetto bacyard to yard, different hoods sellin different goods ONI stayed posted.
