Battle4LA....






 This weekend  13 crew from Los Angeles  battled it out for $1000 in preces. This event took place in the heart of Pico Union @ the graff lab. Crews like West Coast, STK, K4P, K2S,USC, SKA and many more that worked hard under the scorching sun just like the old yard days..  The colors allowed where only silver and blu and a choice one more...the judges must of had a hard time deciding between the contestants at the end 2 crews took it...
Havent been to a graff show in a bit but this one was pretty interesting. for those who don't know what the meaning of a graff battle is here is a quick definition of it..  
BATTLE
This is done when two writers or two crews have some sort of disagreement. The battle can take two forms: skills battle or getting up - essentially quality vs. quantity. A skills battle is when two writers piece a wall within a certain time period (usually a day or a few hours) and whoever does the best piece is the winner. A getting-up battle is when the writers take a certain area of a city and whichever crew can get up the most in that area within a certain amount of time (say a week to a month), wins. For both kinds of battle, an outside crew or writer judges who is the winner. The terms of losing and winning are usually negotiated by the crews involved and can be payment in paint, pot, a sock in the jaw, the losing crew has to stop writing their name, etc., etc.
