Relaps

1:What do you write ,  how long have you been writing for (year started), and why did you get involved in it ?

Relaps FBH shit started following Graff round 99-20 back in Santa Cruz Ca the tracks were right in my backyard so I’d always walk them or just watch the train go by. Think I started around 2004. Still remember my first throw super toy red fill silver outline lol.

2:How did you get your name?

Got caught when I was little and was like gotta change it so I came up with relaps since I ain’t ever stopping lol

3: Who were your biggest influences and why?

Damn honestly prolly a lot of Santa Cruz head lurking the tunnels and bridges out there back in 2000 I found some rad shit from the 90’s but I’d say Clown,Nots,Riser,moby,pear,joker icp,cask640, TITS crew and FTL got some rad writers from out here. I just thought all their stylus were sick and there letters were raw and it’s all about them letters that old Graff style before it got trendy.

4: What's  your Favorite type of graffiti?

Shit if you asked me that 10 years ago I prolly would have said just straight bombing throwies all day hot boy spots. But I really monikers tk be real prolly a mind blower to some.

5: Do you consider graffiti Hip Hop? and if not where did you pick it up from and what group do you think it falls in?

I think hip hop definitely helped for sure. Think it just falls in the group of kids that have semi gone through life more than others like it’s not something u get into cus it’s cool ya know. Now days yeah bunch of rich kids do it but back in the day those kids wouldn’t have made it.

6: What's your favorite type of music?

Probably rap

7: What's the difference between Graffiti and Gang graffiti to you?

Not everyone can do real graff but any tweaker can pick up a can.

8: Fruity pebbles or coco pebbles? 

fruity

9: Are you in your prime as of right now? And if not, when do you think your prime was?

Damn I think I’ve stayed stagnant for a few years maybe lol

10: What's your favorite city that you have painted and why is it your favorite?

Oakland for sure you can just go ham out there day till night.

11: What do you think of people getting jail time for graffiti ?

I try not to think like that. But fuck Kamala Harris for locking up hella heads back in the 90s for it.

12: Do you still drink 40’s and if so what's your favorite brand to drink?

sober life now weed only

13: How do you feel about the graffiti trend and as well as being used for everything now a days (clothing,lunch boxes , hats , etc…..)

I think it’s a joke that people who never painted for real in the streets and ran from a cop shouldn’t get credit.

14: Do you have a chase story that people would like to hear one that you almost shit your self during?

Ohh I’ve takin a few on some chases and they prolly shit themselves.  One time took em on a good one as I was running down this hill to hop a fence I swear I felt something fly by me so I think they threw there light Or stick at me but missed hopped 4 fences ran across fwy to the beach and got a homie to swoop me 🦾
