I write Rebel and to describe my style I would have to say im just your average vandal. A middle aged man that just can’t seem to stop writing his name on shit. I just want my name everywhere that it aint and the only thing that change is the colors of the paint. I’ve been writing since 98-99 when I first got into graff I was mainly into hollow throwies and oneliner tags. I started tagging when i was around 14 in Memphis with a couple homeboys slank and slowmo. Since I first picked up a can I was hooked I traveled all over Miami, Boston, Chicago, Las Vegas, Denver, Gary, Milwaukee, San Antonio, Detroit, Kalamazoo, Flint, Battle Creek, always leaving my mark everywhere I went some cities more than others but I was definitely addicted to the rush of writing my name. It wasnt until I met eufoe in the summer of 2010 that I really got into doing pieces and trying to develop more of a signature style. Dude had a crazy style and made me want to push my self to do wilder shit with my letters. Around the same time I was bombing Lansing MI with my homie neds and was getting into traveling to smaller Michigan cities and going to detroit on the weekends to do bandos. That’s where I met the homie esey. “Free esey” who would end up being my partner in crime for years to come. I moved to Chicago around 2012 and esey and jelly would come down to Chicago and smash shit. I’d go up to detroit and get wild. That’s my dude when he get out we gonna be right back at it! Also some artist id like to shout out that big influences on me and my graff. All the early detroit artist. Kosek, army, turdl, dead krackhead, loaf “rip” tead “rip”. All the tko mobb.
