One of the independents is the TATS crew. Based in The Bronx, New York, spanning over 25 years, founded by 3 mates...Bio, Nicer and BG183, the crew have undoubtedly changed the shape of graffiti and the publics opinion from “those dirty taggers!!” to “oh, that’s nice!. That’s not graffiti” with their x-large murals in NYC’s mains, yet still leaving a foot in all other aspects of the game. Most notably, born in Spain, raised in Germany and now residing in New York are twins How and Nosm who went on a worldwide rampage in the mid-late 90’s crushing anything in their way, from brick, train to main, then bringing it out on VHS under the title not guilty.
TATS have hustled the hip-hop game with numerous marketing campaigns for some good artists and some fucking shit ones. Shit one’s being the type that get some bigwig smoker to front some cash to get Sen2 to do a fuck off size mural in the BX to gain a bit of street credit for Nelly or someone of that calibre. You cant knock a hustle. I should give mention to(back in the style wars days)a rather skinny writer representing Dez or better know now as DJ Kayslay who is also a member of TATS, along with as Fat Joe aka Joey Crack...Who has gone on to make smash hits for your fucking 13 year old cousin. Cant knock a hustle?
Anyway. Enough dribble, they have put together some good clothing so heres some pics along with some links and vids..
