I.C.R. vs. Deth Killers of Bushwick

Their creativity knows no limits...

It all started with two rival motorcycle clubs, Innercity Raiders (I.C.R.) & Deth Killers. They were arch-nemeseses since before anyone from Bushwick or even Bed-Stuy was even born. Their brawls were the stuff of legend, and the Brooklyn neighborhood known as Bushwick suffered greatly. But then came the tragedies of 9/11 and suddenly everything changed . . .

On November 1, 2001, immediately following the Yankees miracle comeback in Game 4 of the World Series, recognizing a true miracle, the respective leaders of each clan signed the Hart Street Treaty, effectively ending their bitter battles once and for all. Not only did the Treaty stipulate the end of the bloody turf war that was tearing Bushwick apart, but it contained a special clause, the Coco Lopez Bambino Clause. A clause so special, it called for the creation of a company which would combine and capitalize on the clubs exquisite and deadly senses of style. Styles of dress so sexy they were known to lure Mamasitas, Hoochie Mamas and Rock Goddesses from all 5 boroughs. The Company would become a blend of young versus old, sex versus love, death versus life, and riding really fast bikes versus working.

And so began I.C.R. vs. Deth Killers of Bushwick. so that their clubs, their families, and all of Bushwick, may benefit and prosper for ALL TIME . . .
