RIP Philly graffiti legend Karaz, known for his intricate hand styles and zany DJ mixtapes

View this post on Instagram

Sad to hear about the passing of Philly legend #Karaz. Amazing Graffiti Artist (since early 80s). An even zanier DJ (truth be told I used to run his “K-Luva” mixtapes so damn much I think THAT was the true signal for me to morph from “b.r.o.ther. ?uestion” to Questlove (His non sequitur out of nowhere song segues & random “#KLuva” name drops were so off the wall it became a work of art on some hip hop version of #PortsmouthSinfonia.) lastly for veterans of—-ahem—#thatsite this was the man that gave birth to a revolution: HE coined the term “okay....playa!” & it just stuck. Fans who remember MTV’s short lived hip hop cartoon #StationZero will remember the crew who ran a public access show with one of its characters named after him. Such a cool, funny creative cat. Rest In Power to a Philly Legend. Karaz aka “K-LUUUUU VAH!” peace playa! Photo Courtesy of @pre.cise rip #ElKLover
