In October 2024, we’re walking around the Philadelphia Zoo with Daryl “Cornbread” McCray, the world’s first modern day graffiti writer. It’s the first time he’s been back since he famously graffitied an elephant in 1971. This act, along with tagging the Jackson 5 jet, skyrocketed his career and helped spark the modern-day graffiti movement. We talk about how his rough childhood growing up in Brewerytown led him to graffiti writing, how he got the name Cornbread, and what it really takes to become a legend.
