Graffiti is one of the most misunderstood sub cultures in history. It is a culture not for the faint of heart. Up until now the story of T-Kid 170 has for the most part been kept within the sub culture of graffiti. This film uses nearly 30 years worth of archived footage and T-Kid's never before seen home movies, a very rare glimpse into the world of subway graffiti. Follow T-Kid into train yards all over the world and through his trials and tribulations, arrests, addiction, violence, love & triumphs. Follow the story of one man's rise to becoming a legend and witness the story of someone who came from the bottom to write his name on the top.—Anonymous

T-KID is one of few, who have left their mark on the history of graffiti. T-KID came up in the golden age of Hip Hop and became one of the leading figures in the emerging New York graffiti scene. Few artists today can tell a tale like his a ghetto childhood, gangs and daring feats of graffiti. His work featured in the book Subway Art made him an international legend. His style, 3-D letters and unique characters have been a source of inspiration for many other writers from all four corners of the globe. And to this day he is still a style master, a pioneer of Hip Hop culture and a significant part of the artistic heritage of the graffiti movement.—Anonymous
