WHAT HAPPEN TO THEM, DID THEY TURN HOOVA?

[RuthlessCray]

i always thought they had joined 18st

[E`S`T]

This was a predominatly Hispanic "taggin" crew that started a clik called "Killing Wicked Surenos" and later they added a 13.(KWS 13). I was busted with a couple of these dudes and they were down as F__K.... I know some of them got jumped into 18st. but I do not know what happende to the bros. that were from there....

[indyjrt]

I thought that KWS was Keeping Women Satisfied???


I used to see there tags in the North Long Beach, Paramount areas.

[Impala]

I dont know about those other KWS's youguys talking about but the K Dubs I know from back in the day was mostly all Black and they was pretty down. And deep. Use to see them catz up at the Hawrthone mall.

They was Trouble's worst enemies I personaly watched them in the NBT's go at each numerous amounts of time.

We even had beef with K Dub. They had a lil clicc that use to run with them called N.K.S Naturual KingS or Never Kaught Slippin.........

THAT'S WHO IM TALKIN ABOUT NILES, I DONT KNOW ABOUT
THE MEXICAN GANG, K-DUB IS WHO IM TALKIN ABOUT CAUSE
I REMEMBER back IN 92 THEY WERE DEEP I THINK THEY WAS
BEEFIN WITH DOMG'S TOO

[X-TribalSoldier]

I remeber K-Dubbs. AT Horace Mann Junior High they used to be KWSCC Kids With Style then it was Kings With Style and they lil clique Kings Cold Chillin. They used to beef with the Nutin But Trouble's NBT and that shit was seriously intense. From my knowledge the KWS were lil 83's as a matter of fact, and most of the Troubles turned 60's. Of course troubles in now actaully a gang. Those tagging crews unlike street gangs had member from different hoods, so they could have branched out to bangers within their own hood. I had a buddy when i was younger who was in my tagging crew but I went to the sixties he went to the van ness gangsters. LOL shit is crazy!

[K1LLJOY]

yeah alot of the kws got into 18th street i think like 50 of them or more

Yeah DOMG did use to beef with K Dubb but it got squashed after a while...........

Back in the day Fox did a special with these dudes. It was right when all that "tag bangin" started. Did anyone see this? This dude were one of the first "tagger" groups to put tats on their bodies. Does anyone remember this special???

I rember a special on a spicific taggig crew but it wasn't KWS it was KMT(Kings Making Trouble) and there homie got killed in the end when someone shot him with his own gun............

[X-TribalSoldier]

I remember one of they leaders his name was MOZART he was tall as hell they was Black where i was from but like i said in my previous post it is obvious that with taggin crews they spanded through all hoods and different taggers went to different gangs. I remember this dude name SATAN from NKS and he was also a NHPiru. A lot of busters who banged would join tagging crews so that when they were asked where they was from they could claim the tagging crew instead of they Gang. Funny!

That was the Black KWS' that went to school with me back in '92-93.

If I remember right, the NBTG shot MOZART in his asscheek, that's part of the reason why he stopped bangin' KWS.(Correct me if I'm wrong!)

Yeah, I saw this Fox special, I remember the Fox 11 was showin' pictures of them fooos with 12 gauge shotguns in their hands. I was kind of shocked because I had no idea that there was a hispanic version of KWS cuz I went to school with the Black KWS.

[Panik]

I always thought that SSk was the first real tagbanger "hood". I remember them being all over the news when I was in highschool. I graduated in 93, so had to be before that. Used to be SSK against EK from what I remember.

[purpwezee]

THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION BECAUSE I WAS FROM KDUBB BACK IN JUNIOR HIGH AND SOME OF HIGH SCHOOL. WE HAD BLACKS AND HISPANICS AND WE WERE'NT TRIPPING ON EACHOTHER BECAUSE WE WERE CONSIDERED BROTHERS FOR THE SAME CAUSE

[streetsIswatchin]

yeah the mexican KWS and the black KWS is the same KWS...after a while they all went there seperate ways but some are still around....some turned crips and some turn F13 and some 18ST...and some stayed KWS but made it into KWS13, and there not some weak taggers turned gangsters like alot of people say on here. And right on MOEZART was one of the main heads...he's still around. he's a cool cat

[BIGG LISTO]

Exactly, K Dubbs was a Brown and Black tagging crew just like my neighborhood(ATC). When the bangin' shit started they went in different directions just like most big tagging crews especially if they were mixed crews. As far as the brown K Dubbs, part became their own varrio called KWS13 in the Maywood area and the other part became a click to 18st in Cudahy called SS.18st KWS.

And the EastSide KWS turned into Cuatro Flats

They were mostly in Pico Gardens homie. ...Vatos like "Hell" "Dezo" and some others were the KWS in East Los. They were tight with Pico Gardens Stoners. They all eventually got into Cuatro Flats.They were all Raza. KWS would go at it with the crew TSS. Most of TSS eventually got into State St Locos. Alrato Homie

[triplethreat]

The KWS tagging crew is still around doing their thing. Maybe not deep but from these pics it looks like they still get up. They have pics on 50mmlosangeles.com a good website for the LA graff scene old and new. Heres the link to KWS pics http://www.50mmlosangeles.com/artist.php?artistId=7684 from that site and link to some Moezart pics http://www.50mmlosangeles.com/artist.php?artistId=1052 good stuff.

[alexalonso]
