Eventually his brother, KoolBreeze I, introduced him to the subway system and dubbed him Lava, borrowed from the brand of clean-up soap. He moved from the small time work he had been doing in the neighborhood and began to learn the lay-outs to the train yards and the back streets of the city. He was one of the first writers to Pioneer off the wall and on to paper by creating flyers for the early promotion of prominent DJ's and rappers. He is best known for his Broadway and bubble box letter style. Combined Shipping Discount Policy: 20% off all combinable items. Check out our other artwork auctions. New items added daily.
