Zomby, by pretty much every UK writers opinion, is the definitive writer embodiment of dedication and attitude. from his early years of ruthless London paint punishing, to train top to bottoms, collaborations, forming two of the most infamous graffiti organisations (KTC & DDS) which then lead to a new era of London graffiti style which took Graffiti in a direction all of its own. And now with his Graffiti store Chrome & Black, Zomby/Rate DDS is one of the active, longstanding kings of UK Graff known internationally. Rarely giving time for interviews or chats, this is a rare and one off piece of history.
Documenting the Graffiti Artists of History past, before their critical acclaims and contributions to the urban arts.

[@RalphWilliamsthe3rd]

Sub, Diet, Bosh, Figs, Teach, Fume, Rate, Zombie, Cos & Tox were all writers I looked up to from 92/3 onwards. Another legend was Sham 59, from DTB. TKS (Total Kaos), DDS (Diabolical Dubstars), PFB (Pure Fire Bombers) & DTB (Drop The Bomb) were the crews everyone wanted to be a part of.

[@corterichbeats7449]

Big up k with the channel, the nostalgic feel of these videos give me goosebumps. I can actually visualise their stories. Love these vlogs man! FUME next please!

[@SK-rn7yd]

Zom is the undisputed king of London. The guy was the link between the older boys and the DDS younger that come through in 95/96. This guy was killing it as rate and fiza before way before DDS. In terms of suggestions.. Try bring Oker GSD on. He is one of the most undernamed artists in London.. He doesn't get the recognition just because he wasn't DDS or PFB and wasnt from London... Can't forget that guy has been absolutely smashing longer than anyone else in London.

[@mrdunnepoetryreallifetvuk1934]

Humble guy too. S/o Oker!

[@powellpker]

oker and JA xtc crushed NY recently.. come back

[@SK-rn7yd]

I respected Oker and loved his work growing up, but his recent antics have really made me (and most of London) lose respect for him. The guy is not right in the head and he has turned against most London writers. He now has no friends except a couple of shit writers who think they're hard. Tbh I shouldn't even be writing Okers name on a zomby video... Its disrespectful to zomby (true King of London)

[@powellpker]

@@SK-rn7yd he has his reasons.. His own youtube channel explains alot of it

[@stevebrum-hamilton3632]

Zom. Straight real talk.. met him at the battle of waterloo... was a inspiration at 14 to me as he was for many more. The urban feel of a graffiti aristist for me from 1993 to 2004.. racking and the missions... they dont kno.. byt then again this guy has paved the way.. for the next gen... who kno cant use words like kings and toys...

[@HatedButRatedCrew]

i have great memories with this guy , we started NHS together with a few others up in brum in Easter 87 , got arrested a bunch of times together ... top guy , timeless classic days .......

[@LondonConfidential]

LOL at Steas! 23:01 I remember when I was 17 years old in 2002 me and my best friend Eaz / Kong (RIP) bought paint from Steas and met him at some tube station somewhere (I think Old St) and he came on his bike with a bag full of tins and we ended up talking behind the back of some dive bar for like an hour. At the time we were terrified from hearing stories of DDS and were paranoid we would get robbed based on all the stories we had heard. Lolol. But Steas was proper cool and nothing like that ever happened. Good days!

[@Kelavision]

You should check the DAS RAREKIND episode man.. he speaks further about STEAS man

[@LondonConfidential]

@@Kelavision Haha. Just listened to it.. That's unreal. That Steas story was crazy!

Haha sick u ever go down to steas shop in Brixton market? I used hit there up weekly 2003-2005 times bit peak to go at times certain man used to get onto the graffiti artists buying paint and it was also long to get to for some man so, I actually took advantage tho to make some peas used to buy in bulk from steas n then and meet these writers n double up lol everyone was happy

Wow zombie is the real deal nothing but love for the graff messiah.. all city king!!

[@stephenfrancis567]

Proper words spoken by a legend.👌

[@Jonathanmentor]

I Loved this interview Zombies work is beautiful one of the best. I have to say in my humble opinion Fume was the best though in DDS. I grew up in west London and seeing Fume, Teach, Zomby, Touch, Plug, Cosa, is really nostalgic. It would be awesome to get Fume on this show.

[@SuperFatyank]

Yep he was the first London u.k writer that became a house hold name.

[@SuperFatyank]

john dillion style wise I would say fuel was the best in dds

[@mmmyeah7]

Great interview fascinating to hear these guys stories, have to admit I know very little about the graff world but one of my earliest memories of seeing it was a tag called known that ran for miles in South east london along the tracks always wondered who that was

[@Sonnyblack100]

mmmyeah7 known was serious , he was everywhere

[@swampy1234]

KNOWN is VERY respected

[@strappazoot]

I met KNOWN in a pub in Greenwich years ago, very cool guy. He was doing some music stuff under his real name, can’t remember now but he was kind of doing busking covers of Wu Tang I think? Something like that. That should help in a search if you wanted to put a face to the name.

[@mmmyeah7]
