On today’s Killa Kela podcast we are heading over to the US to talk with one of LA’s pioneering graffiti writers of the first west coast generation, Risk of the heavy hitting organisation MSK. Not only was he one of the first internationally to paint Freight Trains, he has also been noted as the first to do road sides, traffic signs and more. Real heritage, and today we’re talking Risk in 2023, his creative compound, his artistic approach to legal and illegal graffiti. History from the 80’s and 90’s, west coast theory, plus stories from the mighty MSK archives…. This is RISK MSK’s podcast, enjoy!
