TKID (or T-KID) is a well-known graffiti artist from the Bronx, New York. He first got his start during the 1970s, tagging the name "King 13" every time he'd win a challenge, performing daredevil tricks on swings in the park. He was a short lived member of a gang called the Bronx Enchanters, who would mark their territory by tagging walls and hanging red converse shoes on all of the light poles. He is the president of TNB (The Nasty Boyz) crew. T-KID is still active and his work can be seen in the Bronx as well as around the world. He is also a member of MAC crew from Paris. T-Kid was originally asked to be the narrator for the Hip-Hop documentary Style Wars but he declined. He's nang basically.
[edit] Appearances in other media
More recently T-Kid has appeared in Marc Ecko's 2006 video game, Marc Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure. Also in the book "The Terrible Nasty T-Kid 170," which chronicles the artist's life from childhood to the present and features pictures of his work by graffiti photographer Henry Chalfant.
