Duro CIA TOP // Interview

Anomie: Can you give us an idea of the climate of graffiti back when you started in the early 70s?

Duro: Wow! I started writing or better yet, I learned about writing back in 1971. My brother Skibo introduced me to the game. My knowledge of writing was very limited; I only know what I saw in my school, and in the streets of the Bushwick section of Brooklyn. My first encounter with writers was in my 6th grade class. One day I saw this kid tagging on the school tables, his writing name was Trouble, later he changes his name to Ouch, from the SSB crew. I love this writing because to me it was some kind of secret society, where only a few knew about it, I use writing to hide my pain of being tormented, it also give me a sense of identity, one that I could choose but I could still remain unknown. I also used writing to create a character, which could become anything that wanted to be where nobody would pick on me.

You were writing back in the very early 70s, do you remember whom else you saw up at the time, how competitive was it?

From 1971 to about 1975, I only knew about my friends in school that were tagging with me, but on the trains, I use to see a lot of the TOP crew, like IN TOP, MICKEY 729 AKA TOTOP, and HURST AKA OITOP. I had just moved to the East New York section of Brooklyn, where I met CRAZY DIKE, SID THE KID, and their cousin Crazy Ik. I learned from them, back then they were kings of all the lines.

Who Cares - Teenage Ego Trip // FREE Download


We have been saying that Who Cares is THE TRUTH for many moons because they always deliver quality music. Teenage Ego Trip is no different. Upon my first listen I felt like Ernie made his "Buhloone Mindstate." The album tells a story about putting art before everything, true love & tragic loss. Dusty Brown provides the production, Andrew Southard (Young Aundee) on keyboard/vocals, Jammal Tarkington on sax/flute/vocals

Cope2 Interview

First off let's start off with a blast from the past. Tell us about how you got into graffiti and what it was like painting the New York City subway system back in the late 1970s and 80s.
It was amazing, a blessing. I thank god everyday for it when I look back at those times, the glory days, I call them. I just wish I had all my photos of everything I painted. It would’ve been dope, but my cousin was a local graffiti writer. His tag was “chico80”. He always had this huge marker called that he called a pilot. It was always in his draw [and] it was black. He would take me on train

Pier Interview

You paint a lot of metal. What do you think of the North American freight scene right now versus back when you started in the 90s?
I'd say it has grown a lot in the last thirteen years. I'm not a hater, but it's just out of hand now. There are so many no talent having, internet biting, and yard disrespecting retards everywhere now, not just in my hometown of Sacramento, California, but all across the nation. Back when I first started hitting freights, we would go to a yard or lay-up or whatever, find the best

NIKE x FUTURA // BE TRUE

Though some Futura fans may not already know it, he's a massive baseball fan. So it's no surprise that Nike Sportswear decided to bring him on board once again for this latest Be True collaboration. The result is a capsule collection released by Nike Sportswear in cooperation with the New York Yankees to help usher in Baseball Season's 2010 Opening Day. The collection is inspired by a genuine love for sport and showcases an entirely new remix of Yankees graphics, slogans and iconography released on both apparel and footwear.

Being an all around nice guy and good friends with the whole crew, Futura dropped by the studio the other day to discuss baseball, the Yankees and this latest collab. We just posted a short video brought to you by Also Known As and 12ozProphet highlighting some of it.
