Beginning "The Early Days 1980s"
At the beginning of the 1980s, West Berlin was still surrounded by the Berlin Wall. American hip-hop had hardly been seen on the streets of Europe. But it changed suddenly. Nearly at the same time.And all over Europe's main cities like Berlin, Paris, London and Amsterdam. In Berlin TDC started with breakdance shows in a popular tourist area known as Ku'damm.
They painted the first street art on the Berlin Wall in 1983, which became the original East Side Gallery later on.
In 1986 TDC met up with Keith Haring while he had painted a 100 m section of the Berlin Wall.
TDC continued experimentally and started the integration of American hip-hop into Berlin's youth culture. Just like other pioneers of Europe's hip-hop culture such as Mode2 in London, Shoe Meulman|Shoe] in Amsterdam and Ash from the Bad Boys Crew in Paris.

From the early 1990s most TDC members have been involved in various social or commercial projects worldwide.Many original TDC artworks are still extant, inside and outside Berlin. For example:
