about

Julius Cavero, T-KID (or Terrible T-KID 170) is a well-known graffiti artist from the Bronx, New York.

From the 1970s, tagging the name "King 13" every time, he would engage in a challenge and perform daredevil tricks on swings in local parks. He was a short lived member of a gang called the Bronx Enchanters and The Renegades of Harlem, where he learned how to paint trains.

He later became the president of TNB (The Nasty Boyz) and ex-president of TVS (The Vamp Squad), one of the most notorious New York graffiti crews. T-KID is still active and his work can be seen in the Bronx as well as around the world. He is also a member of MAC crew from Paris. T-Kid was originally asked to be the narrator for the Hip-Hop documentary Style Wars, which he later declined.

In more recent days, T-Kid has appeared in the videogame Marc Ecko's Getting up: Contents Under Pressure.
