- History of the Bay Podcast Ep. 20: Ceav has been an active graffiti writer since the 1990s. Coming out of Oakland, he was influenced by older writers like Mike Dream and Serf TMP. Known for his original style, tireless work ethic, and large-scale pieces, Ceav tries his best to stay humble, show love to upcoming writers, and continue to do what he loves. At the same time, he doesn't shy away from conflict and breaks down how he's handled graffiti beef over the years. Ceav is also one of the founding members of 640, a crew that's grown in large numbers and put in work all over the Bay Area.

#graffiti #oakland #bayarea #podcast #interview - Hudba
It's great that the bay finally has some representation with the graff podcasts. Who else is going to interview Vic20 and Ceiv for an hour?! This is great stuff. All hail Ceiv 640akland
I remember when Ceav was a kid inspiring grown ass men to step they bombin' game up!
- "BUM"
Noone gets up in more spots than Ceav. Straight up.
Every room in juvenile hall including boys control, he was hit up in, every bus in santa rita! Under every bridge and overpass in the bay. Dude gets around hits up every place he goes
"I'ma diva and I'ma make sure my folks comfortable". If u know my man u know that's fax 😂
640 homies are some real ones. Ceavs a straight legend.
Mike Dream was a friend of mine. I used to see him walk up to kids at Psycho City, ask them if he could use their cans, then off the top of his head, with no outline, bust a sick piece like nothing. He was all love, even to toyz like me. RIP Mike Dream. Also shouts to Bay legends King Razor, Dug One and TMF Crew, Crayone TWS, and Twist One. I feel blessed I got to see all those guys in action.
Dam I remember meeting Ceaver on the Hayward Bart back in 1994 when he was skinny...lol..Much love homie
I grew up around Ceav. Legend. Everyone wanted to bomb the streets like him. 640 is still getting up to this day.
My Guy Clout 💪🏽
@@Al_Lee2c Ayyyyy Albeeezyyy!!!
Ceaver was a madman he really didn’t give a damn. Ceav hotep and nibs those were the dudes
@@Chim510 legends
I wonder if serf from TMP is still around... TMP was the homegrown east Oakland crew running the late 80s. At least as far as I remember.
Naw he passed a few years ago,he was a real one ,R.I.P ANT SERF TMP 🫡
Big Love to Ceav. Still Rockin that 3X white tee i copped from years ago. These interviews are 1 o/ a kind Dregs. I salute yall. Keep the dope material coming. This what the world Needs 💯💯💯💯✅
Another amazing show from what will go down as a legendary podcast. Shout out for mentioning Serf TMP (RIP). As someone who moved from the east to by the lake summer of 1986, Serf aka Tony X was pretty much my idol. He was one of the few guys getting up in 86' between the Lake and Park blvd along Mac Arthur (Beside Del85 aka Phresh MDH who was all city) I actually met Serf in the mid 90s with Ceav of all people.
Another funny memory this brought back was around 1994 or 95, there was a rumor that Ceav had inhaled too much krylon, and has gone crazy. And THATS why he was getting up so much 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Get Equipto on the show
My Fuckin Dog! Was supposed been got his flowers 💪🏽
640 mob one love ceivr this is vicious
Finally finished. Glad to hear him bring up elf. Thats who i used to rock with, him reason
edeem dwell doe-boy seduce sadism speshal and a few others
Ceaver humble dude.. Remember seeing his tags in the mid 90s when I was young writing. Mad respect to that Mayor!
Ceav was like 9 yrs old bombing the ac transit back in 1989©️ Rip Serf Tmp
Shout out eager and
ments/endure the real hit squad 🫡
This is dope! Never met ceav always seen him up all around the bay! But I was blessed to me and know the homie Cask! Dope interview!! This is a blessing for the history of the bay and culture!
Hahaha that foo DREGS felt some kinda way when CEAV was talking about 14th st. 😂
Went to Hayward High with Ceav in the 90’s. He would get up anywhere and everywhere throughout the Bay Area..
Like “damn, how’d he get all the way up there?” lol !
again, this was in the 90s our teenage years.
Definitely ahead of his time and next level with the graffiti.
100% Farmers. Let's go.
P.S. we're you a part of EBT way way back?
@@DJAUDIO1 wow!!! EBT which later changed to FDS lol
Gotta be someone from Hayward High to know that !
@scweez Yeah. I was a freshman when y'all were Junior/Senior year, around 93/94. Good times. Fools were getting up all over HWD and the East Bay.
Hell yeah I went to Hayward high for a while too. Maybe that’s why I saw Ceav hit up EVERYWHERE.
Hayward and the whole east bay every damn where.
For other writers and bombers, everyone would take their hat off to this man and his style. Respect
CEAV640 is OAKLANDS REAL MAYOR 💯
Fav episode for me! Much love and respect to Ceav.
Man! You inspired me to start tagging up everywhere. My first few felony 594 cases changed the trajectory of my whole life. It’s a trip seeing and listening to this. Thank you
Thank you for this bro.
I honestly can’t believe how good dream was back then especially when very few wrote as good as him.
Tha mayor of tha town!
Yeee!
All I know is his style, his persistence, and his reputation… but none of that lives up to hearing him speak his mind. There’s a reason to his level of success.. what a great interview.. fuck that .. what a great human. It’s 💯 and inspiring to hear someone who been through it spit it
Finally. Was just saying we need this. This man is legend. That’s my man!
CEAVE 640 is a legend as a bay area bomber...he IS a legend in the Yay. Respect him for his longevity too...I'm 46 now...DISKO 594n in the Bay, to this day...
early in the mornin'
when the sun goes to sleep
When the birds start to chirp
And crackheads go to sleep...
Boots Riley said it best...shit is the perfect time to go bombing. Got my SG7 with mixed magenta ink on my 5 AM bike rides...and at that hour? Cops, joggers, and crazy folks...I just know that I'm one of 'em...definitely not the po-po tho.
Right on R...I stay up with E...DISKO ONE...stay up like a tow truck mayne.
Ceav was talking about the hr yb battle I believe . That was a really good battle . Had me looking for the back to back diss . I haven’t seen a battle like that in years
Met Ceav back in 93 in SF or The Town possibly rackin not sure I was more into writing on muni hitting yards and watching our tags on buses and some streets CEAV iS the Town but to this day all over Nor Cal even been on the bus to Bruno with him and hittin up on the blue bird anywho he hit PE and I got in 640
This the one 🤙🏾
I respect that dudes whole way of handling all the graffiti shit he knows what's up Sink 3a crew seattle
It would be sick if you could get Twist aka Barry McGee on the show
King ciev love finding his Lil spots he hits with tags throughout the bay
Growing up I’ve always seen ceav shit literally everywhere (even places u wouldn’t think) I remember I was outta town one time and seen it I was juiced.
Most OGs should take this approach.
Gotta show love and haze others to create comrade .
It’s all out of love . Integrity.
Legend!
classic. love to my dude ceaver
I’m not into Graffiti, but the content so dope, I watched✊🏾
OG mayor of oaktown. All Bay
Big Ceav! Amazing artist!
Me and the homie saw a guy catching a tag on a pole in Oakland and it turned out to be him. Really nice guy and super chill considering we were out of towners.
Man wish this was live i got stories with ceav and g2g lol fuck man dope as days
CEAV was kicking tough and writing with OMS in the 925 in late 90s early 2000’s shout out Vigor, Cies, Phever , Piers for always “Out Mobbin Society “
Bruh I remember ceav from em early 2004 era street racing then him seeing me hit carts while street racing n him gassing me about my lines nd the look but none thing but good times tagging and street racing his turbo cutty back then
This is dope. I'm from Seattle I use come to the Bay a lot back in the late 90's I met a graffiti artist at the Berkeley swap meet his name was Kufu like the Black Pharaoh who united Egypt.. please do an interview on that Brother
KUFU - GFC/TDK is my brother….He is still rocking…..Rest In Peace PRIZE 6
Kufu is my guy ,one off the sickest in the town till this day 🫡
Yo dregs hella respect to your vids, but when you gonna do some ish about B-Boys and DJ's and even beatboxers maybe. Then if you wanna dig deep... Bay Punk and Hardcore
