Graffiti is what makes the world go round so of course I stay up to date with the who’s who of the Graffiti game. I always need to know who is getting up and where they are getting up at. RobotsWillKill keep me OG even while living a 9-5 Monday through Friday work week. It was so much easier when I was in college and would vandalize the word and not give a fuck about my responsibilities for the next day.
