Well it all started around maybe 1979 or 1978. I was living at the time on the 6 line and all I was seeing on the line was fresh cars by Seen rolling by. I was staying in Harlem at the time so I also saw the 4's and 5's with the fresh Mitch 77 pieces, the Dondi CIA and the Roc Stars cars, Case 2, Part and Panic. That's around the time I decided to start scribbling on paper, but by no means could I ever front and say I was really writing at that time even though I had been puttin up bullshit tags inside project buildings. Then a year later I met an artist from the letter lines who was seeing my cousin Ginq around 1980 or 1981. He wrote Hast one TBI (The Bushwick Incorp). They showed me black books with fresh shit by letter line artists like Baby 168. A short time later I met Dizzy Dez, this is when I really started putting shit together. A short time later I moved to Allerton Av. I met Rolieo who was a very big help to me. He put me up on niagra fat caps. I started doing pieces and getting my shit known, it was around 1983 or 1984. I did my first train car on the 4 line with Dez and Dust, wow! At the time I was like damn! I don't belong here with these guys, I'm just a new jack toy but they showed me the ropes and helped me get to where I am today.
		About a year or two later I met Poem, Opal and Eon in Baychester. In the summer then I met Jase, Med, Shame, Sak, Westo, Jelly Jel and all kinds of other artists from the one line (Broadway). The rest is really history. I started doing cars left and right. Me and Poem rocked shit. I did cars with Sak, Shame, Jase but most of all with little Wane who had lived in my neighborhood in Allerton and I knew since he was young. He got good fast and we just shocked the shit out of the 2's and 5's. He took me to a fat lay up and we just did pieces day in and day out. When I wasn't doing train cars I was blasting my name at the "Dero Hall of Fame" 238th street Bridge. I think this is where I did some of my best shit at the time, even bettr then some trains because I had more time down there. No one bothered me at all untill toys fucked it all up. Anyway I had a great run on the 2's and the 5's and did shit on the 1's, the 6 line and the B's. Later on I went through a crazy raid on the 3's and basically rocked anywhere and anything I could. From 1985 to about 1987 or 1988 the 2's and 5's were home, then the graffiti on trains ended. I did walls here and there, and started to chill. I had a lot of fun in those days and I wish I could have them back. Wen, Wane, Wips, Bel and I with the whole crew had great times but shit got stupid and everyone started doing there own thing. Fuck it I will always love the graff scene, but walls just ain't trains. If asked yeah I still write a little but if the trains ever came back, I'd be king with nothing but top to bottom whole cars; since I didn't get to do many. This is the basic story in a quick nutshell. I would like to say thanks to Molotov Cocktail and all the artists who followed my shit and now rocking there own shit. Peace and keep on keeping on. Dero one The Fame Artist. P.S: Big shout out to Phase 2 and my man Vulcan (who also helped me out on, my journeys), Seen & Psycho TC-5 and the whole Fame City crew.
