CREW MANIFESTO & LINEAGE

X-Men NYC — Uncompromising Train & Street Respect Since 1981.

Formed in New York City in 1981 and propelled to fame by Dez (the late DJ Kay Slay, featured in the 1983 documentary 'Style Wars') and Brooklyn stylist Keo (Lord Scotch 79), the X-Men crew bridged raw subway bombing with the golden age of East Coast hip-hop, counting MF DOOM (Zev Love X) and Bio among its ranks.
