Darryl McCray was born in 1953 in Brewerytown, raised by his mother and grandparents. In 1965, McCray was sent to a juvenile correctional facility called the Youth Development Center. While at YDC, McCray was nicknamed \u201cCornbread\u201d because of his love of cornbread. The YDC was full of Philadelphia gang members writing their names on the walls. McCray claims he was never part of a gang, but wrote his nickname \u201cCornbread\u201d on the walls next to gang members. McCray claimed that he was the first to \"tag\" his own name and not a gang name or symbol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After leaving YDC, he continued his \"work\" on the streets of Philadelphia and joined forces with friends such as Cool Earl and the Kool Klepto Kid. He is certainly known for the \u201cCornbread Loves Cynthia\u201d sign that he persistently put on the walls until he won his high school sweetheart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tako se je v 60ih letih prej\u0161nega stoletja odlo\u010dil pretihotapiti v Philadelphijski \u017eivalski vrt, kjer je na lev in desni bok slona napisal \u201cCornbread Lives\u201d . Spomnimo pa se tudi, da se je podpisal na privatno letalo Jackson 5, ko so nastopali v Philadelphii. Zaradi tak\u0161nih in podobnih podvigov je ve\u010dkrat pristal za zapahi, obto\u017een vandalizma. Kljub temu, pravi, da so ga enkrat celo policisti prosili za avtogram med tem, ko je bil pridr\u017ean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
