- History of the Bay Podcast Ep. 12: Vic20 is a graffiti writer who had an infamous run in the early 2000s along with his crew KUK (Kill Until Killed). Vic grew up in the North Bay and later moved to San Francisco, where he got introduced to graffiti through the skateboarding scene. After getting up with writers like Jade and Amaze, joining THR crew, and developing his style, Vic decided to forge his own path in graffiti with some like-minded friends. This was the beginning of KUK crew, who went on a notorious streak of vandalism around the bay. After getting up on transit, housing projects, and BART stations, KUK became a law enforcement target, the members' houses were raided, and they were prosecuted by SF District Attorney Kamala Harris. After a short time on the run, eventually Vic20 had to sit down for some county jail time. He's done his time, paid his dues, and overcome the realities of a hardcore graffiti lifestyle. Now he's doing well as a family man and showed up to the podcast to share his unique perspective on graffiti in the Bay Area.

Great interview. Thanks
Great interview really stood out, very unique true SF writer. Was living in the tenderloins a few years back and did lots of exploration and found an old faded Vic 20 piece in some super grimey tenderloin alley had to crawl thru a hole in the fence and move some boards, it is really dirty area the piece was in one of those “pit” spots , that piece Probably still running to this day super cutty runner in the heart of the city.
Hell yeah! Great interview. Have him on again to keep talking about those days!

It's crazy how hard this guy kept going after the KUK bust. Seems like he was the only one that kept killing.
Also, please do a part 2! I feel like this barely scratched the surface. I'd love to hear him go more in depth about the early US and BTM days. Some more Jade, Orfn or Sham stories.
Deth still got down abhor too. Evade makes some of the best zines but you wouldnt know its him.
They all just went to another crew we all know the name of.

Damn this was good
Bro keep this coming!
What about ftl crew!
Yeee!! Lovin' it Dregs been fuckin' with You since The wake up call. It would be Dope if You could get Husalah up on here.
broo can i make a suggestion, can u start throwing pictures of their art so we can be more familiar with their work ? i really fuck with this channel and the graffiti culture you’re exposing us to but im not from there lol you have the potential to grow big and i feel like giving us visuals is a huge step towards it. If not its still love i go on google but theres more writers popping up on the channel now
The king of style
I was passing through hitchiking & trainhopping back in 2002 & ended up going to a show at mission st records then went to a party at i’d like to say 15th & mission? I was with some of the people mentioned in this interview & someone was distributing a comic of KUK beating someone up. I remember we all got a kick out of it. I lost my copy but that shit was funny. I wish i still had it
Was it the zine with the beaten face on the cover perhaps?
STARTED WRITING IN '93-99 IN SF TIL I WENT ON VACATION SOON AS I TURNED 18.....BEST ERA!
Wuddup! OG US from San Jose.
The same shit is happening to some sick murals out here in NY, I completely agree with these guys. These new tagers disrespect the whole game and at all don't understand the art.
I'm glad somebody finally said it.... Preach🙌🏼
Pedal Rev/Bike Kitchen, nice, spent a lot of time at Pedal and def worked no my bike at the Kitchen. Prolly met at some point.
youth industries! i worked at einstein's cafe up in the AVEs but i remember pedal rev right next to the drop in center/kitchen. think cobra worked there or abhor? i was squatter/skater not a writer but adjacent to it.
need another ep holy shit lol the cop playing gta wtf lmao 😂
I wish you were my Dad, Dregs one. You have a very calming presence

Man everyone knows of Carl Watson I went to mcateer with him in the 90s him and Mika were funny as shit.
"we were getting kinda territorial" NO SHIT?! Easily funniest group of humans on earth are my Graff friends... Do their crime in secret but feel super slighted when their crime is not performed with rules... hilarious. I am 50 and watched the arc of vandals to calling this an art... It's gotten so nauseating. To me it's cool cuz its gross and criminal, not a revenue stream. Great stuff as usual and enjoy hearing weirdos explain their psychosis and pathology...
bruh you barely hit 1 hour, how are you about to put a time limit on this interview?! you are trippin, bring Vic back for a part 2 if you know whats good for your channel. Beyond amazing stories and attention to detail would love to hear the knowledge he has to bring to the masses. FYI only reason i ended up on the channel was because of this video l will be patiently waiting for part 2!
said vic had a time limit not dregs

Has it been 20 years already? Crazy how today's media ruined the game, and how some heads just can't relish anonymity. And what's weirdest of all, is seeing legendary names lose their mystique on youtube. RIP ORFN.
