Who would of new that by this guy covering Chaka's graffiti case it made Chaka a household name.. I remember when I was a kid living in the Inland Empire me and some homies got caught tagging.. My homies parents and the cops were like who do you think you are, Chaka tagging on everything?? I was like how do they know about him lol.. Since then you would hear random conversations and Chaka would get mentioned..
He gave him the ultimate fame
What's up with the shorts Graff TV?? I enjoyed seeing what new spot got painted recently.. But I see you're not posting like you use to before.. Please don't be one of those people who does it for like maybe 3-6 month's then falls off..
Ayer was a bully! Remember when that vato Daze from pico union str8 k.o that vato in front of his homeboy’s ? Put that boii to sleep and his homies just carried him away😴
Best reporter!
I couldn’t stand this guy back in the day, i think he single handily ruined many chicano teenage scenes in southern cal. by blowing it up like it did
