kem from KeMeF iNc. yoh's photostream |
i started taggin way back in 1982 before i even knew about graff...as soon as i started seein some of the subways cars bein done in the good old u s of a i was hooked...my first crew was me an a bunch of friends from school in about 84....ica.....inner city artists...my tag was real crap.....brett...fook knows what i was thinkin....anyhoo as me mates got bored of it i went out on me own of a night taggin on every available space i could find with lots of different tags such as ....spydr....s-capade...chem21.. and stylo before settling on ndeva...i soon met up with another writer called at the time...trance,who now writes cryse we formed a lil crew called tcp cryse introduced me to a lot of other writers in brum including a long haired gay lookin bloke called hugie who later went on to write mef....aka asasyn,we went on to join a few crews namely sfx...special fx......cbs..crimebusters
sbs...step back suckaz...hahaha....graffatack and numerous others...i started to get a little bored with all the bichin that can go on with big crews so i started ct....cultural thugs with me mef cryse taktix and one or 2 others that my addled old brain can,t remember...after awhile the crew fizzled out so adicz was formed with myself and mef....later members included cryse and fuze......the tracks were our main targets until about 1990 when everyone just seemed to stop paintin
i didn,t touch a spraycan again till 2003...after such a big gap i found the old buzz had come back stronger than ever...although its all legal walls for me these days with a re-invented new tag of kem....i paint regular with mac1 who i formed mindset cru with along with fluid1...last year mef emerged from the wilderness and the adiczc cru resurfaced...with new member diva....another old buggar....anyway for anyone that may actually read all this mumbling on...i won,t bore you any longer

"pure legend!! firstly what a talent " mef,kem" pure joy to see new pics,
got into graf off a couple of hip hop 12" bout 86,tagged bescot with "trauma 68" mostly in the early days,when i was spose to be takin photos for video & phot lessons,first pieces i saw gave me butterflys from my toes up" and have recently returned" they were pd" proud" 2 nice " meek i think" king,art crimes by quik,that year 86 i was blown away by bescot and spent any spare time there takin snaps n readin all the new tags.
remember started seeing ndeva asasyn tuma disc adz,custo,dfase throwups,acro, meek,disc,
these guys set hooks into my body and i live for graf,started venturing further down the tracks 87 88 etc,then the wildstyle ndeva asasyn piece and the silhoettes,i thought yeah guys this good writing where i can see it instead of on tv or vinyl covers fantastik!! " remember the "tiym piece in tunnel under m6" teak(pilgrim i think) got great flix!
wonder wether the adz knew how many writers over the years used to stare at that that wildstyle piece for time!
remember desire tuma pieces and some others i know i have shots of but cant quite retrieve them from me memory,
anywayze me in 86 on me own mostly 14 years old watching you lot burn bescots walls to the ground!! curly headed little kid jaw open walking round transfixed.
if not for the adics meek chu etc i dont think us toys would have had anything to aim at,we would have stood still!
no arsehole licking ,pure respect kem...

"Mmmmmmmmm where to start..........................
1983 / 4
The year i first met a fella named "NDeva" i met him through a fella that started comin round with me called "Cryse" at the time though he was "Trance" i myself was seriously into this shit , id done around 3 or 4 proper early peices and for some reason struck a cord with "NDeva" straight off.......
We met night after night bomin the shit outa everything....i had me own crew goin "DFT" defresh3 me foggy and cryse...not serious enough so me and "NDeva" wondered off into "CT" Cultural thugz with cryse aaaaaaaah some fun there....
85 - 86
We sort of broke away from cryse in spats and joined numerous outfits during this year.....CBS crimebustas..SFX special fx .... but always kept pluggin CT
1987
N moved from acocks green to walsall - ADZ Adicz were born just the 2 of us and we killed it big time NDeva & Asasyn was everywhere we peiced the shit outa walsall from the train station to the tracks to Birminghams Radcliffe tunnel to daytime peicing in the middle of Bhams city centre ....
Never really mixing with many no one really new us to be fair only a handfull .....with out comin over all we were the best we kinged walsall and brum for a good 2 yrs
NDeva aka Chem 21 now spelt Kem is without question one of the old skool kings of walsall / Bham if he/we hadnt stopped for the family raising years he would have had alot more adulation and respect that he deserves one of the true old skool KINGs if every sense of the word
I came back last year and we are paintin more than ever now but i have to say i wouldnt have come back and painted with anyone else .........................
NDEVA a true king but to me he will always be that fat turkish lookin idiot with gay tendences who is scared of feet
Ndeva & Asasyn
Mef & Kem
2 old skool idiots with nothing to prove - carrying shit loads of history around in there stupid pea like brains
