When I first started writing graffiti, I used to see CHECO up so much in Sunset Park and Park Slope that I thought he was from the neighborhood. Over the years since then, however, I have learned that he was really from Bushwick, although I also heard recently that he lived in Red Hook. Whatever the case may be, he passed away at some point, I believe in the mid to late 1990s. I believe he is the founder and prez of the CDS crew, and was also down FUCK, 182, FUK, and MSD. I know that he was down with plenty of other crews but those are the ones that I’d seen him rock.
What’s the flavor? Some gems courtesy of @tunnelcreep and CHU FOA. Featuring MS ACC, ASK GLK, NEEK TQS, ZE KOC, REEL CSV, MEG TWV HYO, CINIK VAC, PS WAR, CHECO CDS, UN KOA, ZD, SHONE, DEEP6, EPO (RIP), AL ROC, RBEE 182, DINK PBS, and COMIK.
I believe this was once a scene somewhere Uptown. CHECO CDS, PAUSE, TOXIC, JOVES TDO, KASH, and DAPERMAN. Some other stuff here with which I am not familiar. Feel free to lend knowledge, if you are able.
Dope pic. Early 90s, probably somewhere in Brooklyn. Tags up high by LEO DIS, and FATAL NFO. Also looks like an old CHECO tag, partially covered by the NI fill. Also looks like a fill by DG (RIP). Sunset Park! Bushwick! All day! Classic graffiti in NYC.
