scene that has been recently creating a global buzz, 50mm heads down
south againâ€¦to Mexico.

Panic

Interview by Gabe the Saint
50mm Staff Writer

Back in the early 1990â€™s it was difficult to travel around the city and not come across a Panic and Poize throw-up.

Remembering Tolse STP IFK

Story by Cisco CBS
50mm staff writer

TOLSE was able to see spaces of the city that most people never even
acknowledged, and he was able to hit spots that most writers in LA hadn't
reached before. While writers in Hollywood and LA were getting the attention,
TOLSE was 12-years-old, bombing the Valley all by himself. He was
informed by the school of WISK, SER, CHAKA, SLEEZ, TRIAX and GESO.
TOLSE could be seen on freeway heavens, r...
