times I spent with kez5 and my opinion of him as a writer unfortunately, my memory card ran out of space cutting off the last few words including my goodbyes.
Kez was a wild boy I remember him when he was first was Writhing with a dude name Cuz … then years later we bump heads up North in Green correctional facility Aka The baby 4 building …with all the stabbing & cutting that was going in that jail this dude kez took advantage & was still booming throughout the jail …. The illest shit he did & I will never forget On the New side of Greene on the handball court .. there was 3 separate handball courts .. so on first court he did a huge K throw up & on the second & third he did the same … a Huge throw up E & Z What made it Ill was at night the lights shine on the handball court with the shadow of Barbwires over his throw up 🤮 .. Dude was definitely a Best … A All city King 👑 Salute.. Rest in Paint ..! $tock…5 🎯 1
Great story RD! RIP to the legendary KEZ5 i met him once back in 2002 i ran into him on the A train he was just tagging it up with a marker with people in it in day light lol didnt give a fuck. I went up to him and introduce my self and he tagged my note book because i was coming from high school.
Very good video. I never met Kez5 personally but I always loved his style and his passion for graffitti was something I always felt was pure. I saw those videos that his people were I guess clowning on him and I also saw the videos he put back out there saying he wanted to fight anybody who was willing to step up for his crew. Seemed to have tons of heart to me. Rest in peace Kez.. Thanks for sharing the stories..
it might feel like you’re just rambling at a camera but these stories are a valuable perspective on NYC and graffiti history. Thanks for sharing and I hope you continue to do so. Best wishes
I got a ton of respect for rob cause it’s obvious he writes for the passion of writing and he stands ten toes down and will die ten toes down if need be.
I remember I first met Kez 5 in the village early 90's around 91-92 on west 4th and 6th avenue the CM crew, Bruz, Seeps, Dev, Tka, Jetta, Doms, Tom, Merge, Oak and all the crowd that used to bomb, man those were some fun times.
I had a tag across 3 pull downs in a prime spot. Pear came through and covered it with 3 fillins. I was mad. I let it go. Even though I had that real estate for 3 years and dudes wrote around me. Good to hear from ya Rob.
COPE snitched on HOW and NOSM from Dusseldorf, Germany, right? Did you hear about how one of those guys caught up to COPE years later, and attacked him? I read about it on some website a few years back.
Rd , love your stories , but it's a little difficult to hear you. Go cop a little cheap mic and clip it on your shirt. It will enhance your videos immensely !!!!
