Product Description
Book Description
The life story of graffiti writer T-Kid 170 from gang member to style mentor for urban youth. At the age of 16, Julius Cavero was shot three times in a gang shoot out in a park. He only just survived, and while lying in hospital with little else to do he began to draw, and it was there that he chose to become T-Kid 170. He grew up in the golden age of hip hop and became one of the leading figures in the emerging New York graffiti scene. His work was also reproduced in the seminal Subway Art and he was soon an international star. This is the uncensored Bronx hip hop story.

WORTH EVERY PENNY AND MORE.
5 Mar 2006
Format:Hardcover
First off let me say that I wish you good luck if your ordering this book through Amazon. But, if they are somehow REALLY able to get it, you'll be amazed at its content. T-KID is a legendary style master, and if you didn't know that, you're a toy.
The stories are so vivid that you can smell the paint, and sometimes, the gun powder. And of course the art is fantastic. Tons of old school flicks to new school digitals. This blows many of the recent graff books off the "MTA map". If you own the COPE2 book than you've got an idea of how fresh this joint is.
DON'T SLEEP!
