TATS CRU, Inc. is a group of Bronx-based graffiti artists turned professional muralists. Tats Cru, aka “The Mural Kings”, started making their mark some four decades ago –– way before many understood the true impact they would have on Urban Culture. In so many ways, this team of artists would redefine what it meant to be a part of life in New York City.

 

The current members of TATS CRU are Bio, BG183, Nicer, Crash, Daze, HOW and NOSM. TATS CRU were founded by Brim, Bio, BG183 and Nicer.

 

Over the last two decades, TATS CRU has produced various advertisements for clients ranging from neighborhood businesses and institutions to large corporations like Coca-Cola and Sony.

 

TATS CRU is also a major producer of New York City-style memorial murals, and have created artwork for many musicians including Nicki Minaj, Missy Elliott, Metallica, Big Pun, Jennifer Lopez, Rick Ross, DJ Kool Herc, Nas and many more.

 

TATS CRU has a strong bond with rapper Fat Joe and created many of his advertisement billboard for album releases in the 1990s.

 

TATS Cru heavily paints murals of friend and deceased rapper Big Pun and are solely responsible for the Big Pun memorial wall in the Bronx, New York City.
