Panic

Interview by Gabe the Saint
50mm Staff Writer

Panic is one of the most recognized names in Los Angeles Graffiti. He is what I call a 5 point player…Hand- styles, throw-ups, background, pieces, and characters. He has done it all. Back in the early 1990’s it was difficult to travel around the city and not come across a Panic and Poize throw-up. Years after I was able to sit down with him and get his perspective about his per...

Writer Spotlight: 125er

Interview by Gabe the Saint
50mm Staff Writer

As 125 and I cruise through downtown during rush hour, we stop directly behind a, Rapid Metro bus. On the back of this bus is a poster of a cartoon with the word T.AG. Scrawled in cheesy graffiti-like font. T.A.G stands for Totally Against Graffiti and is a campaign spearheaded by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. I look over at 125 and he smirks. With much confidence, he tel...

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...

Story by
Wisk WCA
50mm staff writer

There are many writers from this great city that have experienced Los Angeles live and un-cut . Many have come out and been around for a few years and many have come around and stayed around for more years than they imagined. But not to many can say they were Crew Leaders, or Trend Starters, Pioneers, or even an L.A. Legend. Mek one can though he wont say it, but if you know him than that fact is alread...
