Dyer FDC
It is with great sadness to report South London Graffiti Legend Dier FDC has passed away due to long running health issues. Throughout the 90's and early 2000's Dyer, alongside Char, Ser, Shred and the FDC crew dominated the South London Graff scene. Everyone who knew him will tell you he was a real character, free spirit and one of a kind.
"For Tizer and me, Dier and the FDC crew were a big influence on us, and I met him quite a few times, and had a lot of respect for him. I remember one time hanging out with Dier and Hox, and they were talking about going fishing. The image of Hox and Dier fishing to me was really funny. Dier said, "yeah Shucks!!! Its not all about Graff you know! We will go some time" Unfortunately I never did have the opportunity to go fishing. Our regards go out to his family and friends" - Shucks One ID
