Rest In Peace: Nekst MSK

[Fecal Face]

Another prominent member of our culture has left us too soon. Nekst was the type of writer I would like to be if I were still active today. He like too few others kept the spirit of bombing alive in the almost forgotten rebellious , balls to the wall, illegal fashion that the culture was founded on. He went hard for big prominent spots in multiple cities. His work was big and clean and had great impact. He was a loyal stand-up guy to his friends. He was loved by those who knew him and his untimely passing leaves a mountain of grief to those lucky enough to have painted with him or been his friend. My condolences to his brother, extended family, friends and fellow crew members.

I heard from a local writer Mase, who paints with MSK occasionally, that Nekst overdosed last night. I'm really upset about this, as Nekst was easily one of my favorite graffiti writers.

He was a visionary and a fucking ballsy motherfucker. He did shit that I wouldn't even imagine. He was certainly one of the greats.

A Nekst tag at a popular, slightly downhill ledge/pad spot in Williamsburg (You may recognize it from Stay Gold)...It was covered up like 2 years ago.

When he painted with ADEK it made my PP hard.

They both are such talented bombers, RIP.

EDIT: Here's a sick flick I found on 12oz today.
