Biography
[edit]Background and early life
[edit]T Kid's father was an immigrant from Peru, who worked at the Linden Assembly in New Jersey. His mother emigrated from Puerto Rico in the mid 1950s.
Graffiti
[edit]He started in the 1970s, tagging the name "King 13" every time he'd win a challenge, performing daredevil tricks on swings in local parks. He was a short lived member of a gang called the Bronx Enchanters and The Renegades of Harlem, where he learned how to paint trains.
He later became the president of TNB (The Nasty Boyz) and ex-president of TVS (The Vamp Squad), one of the most notorious New York graffiti crews. 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.
Appearances in other media
[edit]More recently T-Kid has appeared in the videogame Marc Eckō's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure.
