This production wall is one that has been revisited several times by Dibz and Fade, and they have brought in others along the way. The portrait and writing above it by Jody and Acer One respectively have remained intact, but everything else around them have been repainted several times. This latest fiery reincarnation is by Dibz, Fade and Sikoh.

Starting with Fade, flames engulf his letters FADE and nestled above, THK (Tru Headz Kru). The black letters are bordered with a flame line, incorporating reds, oranges, yellows and whites – absolutely incredible. The flame background is equally impressive, and he has also managed to incorporate some drips into the piece too.

Dibz’ writing mirrors that of Fade, and is also out of the top drawer. Slightly more angular than his painting partner, his letters have the same multicoloured border – how do they do that? Dibz has also managed to create a little bit more depth with his letters, and has added a yellow, melting, halo above his letters.

It is a pity that we only get to see Sikoh’s work occasionally, because he is without doubt one of the most talented artists around. Here he has painted two spray cans, one with a flesh hand spraying out flames, which is mimicked to the left with a fire hand holding the can. The collaboration is utterly outstanding, and has remained intact for over a month for all passers-by to enjoy.
