WRITER BIOGRAPHY & LINEAGE

Kunle Martins (EARSNOT) founded the legendary downtown New York graffiti crew IRAK in the late 1990s. Renowned for his unmistakable all-city handstyles, racked-paint folklore, and raw downtown Manhattan energy, Martins bridges hardcore street bombing with acclaimed contemporary portraiture.

“Graffiti is about presence, nerve, and making the city read your name on every block.”
