New York, during the mid-1980's, was an amazing time for graffiti writers. Trains were crushed, styles were poppin, and TC-5 was one of the main crews at the forefront of the thriving graffiti scene.

The crew's roots originate from the 1970's with The Crazy 5, which was a legendary crew from the Bronx with an impressive roster consisting of BLADE, DEATH, VAMM, TULL 13, CRACHEE, and later COMET due to the fact that the other original members had quit painting. Plus AJAX, SILVER TIPS, and MAZE. Keep in mind, in the earlier days of graffiti, most writer's wrote for a few years then moved on. COMET and BLADE weren't the average writers though, and crushed NYC Transit through the late 70's into the early 80's.

After most of the original members of The Crazy 5 had retired, although somewhat controversial at the time, COMET passed TC-5 to a writer from the Bronx named SEEN (or as some called him, L'il SEEN) And his partner at the time KEMS.Since so many original members had retired, Blade decided to move on to bigger and better things by starting a new crew with Comet called the “Impact Brothers”……Comet never thought in a million years that this kid would understand what had been bestowed upon him. History knows otherwise. SEEN reshaped the crew with writers of his generation such as , JUICE, DOZE, DOC, LADY PINK, BEAM, SPANK, TACK. As you can see from the flicks, TC-5 rocked the number and letter lines with some of the freshest cars pulled out on the NYC Subway system.
