STREET GRAFFITI IN SUNSET PARK BROOKLYN: JBRO · BETE TBK · LMAC · VS · EW

Some street graffiti in Sunset Park, Brooklyn which I came across while taking my lady friend (now my wife) on her first tour of the neighborhood back in 2010. First and foremost, here we see a nice tag by JBRO SFT (RIP). The L. MAC and VS tags on the gate are maybe from 1991/92, followed up by the legendary BT TBK, who apparently passed through this block sometime in 1997. The TBK crew has a long history in this thing and there is also a chapter of the crew in the Bronx.

FRITZ

Caught this flick whilst cruising down 4th Ave one spring day back in 2010. Another decades-old FRITZ tag, this one on the top box of a pull down gate. FRITZ was a madman and had ups all over the place. If I understand the history correctly, the NAK mob sprang up initially around the Ninth Avenue train station in Brooklyn.

STREET GRAFFITI: FRITZ · VIN

While going through some flicks I had taken back in 2010, I came across this gem – – an FZ tag by FRITZ NAK, and a classic VIN tag. Early 90s graffiti which was faded but had been running for close to 20 years at the time this image was captured. This was on 44th & 5th, right across the street from Sunset Park.

FZ STANDS FOR FRITZ NAK

Where I come from, “FZ” is short for FRITZ NAK, general of the legendary NAK mob from Sunset Park, Brooklyn. Here we see one of the many gems FRITZ left buried in the subway tunnels under the streets of New York. It’s always great when graffiti from ages past resurfaces suddenly, taking us back to when it was real in the field. This particular image was gifted to us by EURO AS and provides a superb real life example of subway graffiti in NY from the early 90s era.
