In the late 1990s, pockets of hip-hop obsessed Canadian kids from suburbs like Surrey and Langley, British Columbia, set out to make themselves known. Removed from urban centres like Vancouver, they saw themselves as outcasts and took refuge in music, the streets, and their crews. These skaters, rappers, and graffiti artists-with alternate egos like Vision, Capital Q, KeepSix, Caspian, and a host of others-would eventually help found intertwined brands Ephin and Stompdown Killaz.
Stompdown Killaz (SDK) is likely the most recognized of the two entities and it looks after the graffiti and design side of the business. SDK was named by the filmmaker Capital Q. Capital Q, real name Quinn Leathem, is the brand’s co-founder, along with a handful of friends who hung out at Brookswood Skatepark in Langley. They started gaining a larger audience for their art, which you could find bombed across train cars and brick walls after Capital Q uploaded graffiti videos on their UA-cam channel in 2005. The first videos were simple slide shows of their work, and eventually they produced everything from music videos to an online talk show called Get off the Couch. Their videos went on to gain hundreds of thousands of views worldwide. Their logo became the infamous Canadian flag-stamped ski mask with crossed baseball bats behind it.
Before SDK’s rise came Ephin, legally called Ephin Lifestyle Holdings Corp. Formally established in 2002 by Ryan Wiese, aka Vision, Ephin grew from a small t-shirt vendor in Surrey. Opened in 2004, the first Ephin shop at 162nd and 84th Street was 500 square feet; two shops later, today the current space is five times bigger than the first iteration. Around 2006, Ephin and SDK came together, giving the SDK brand a solid business backing. Ephin, which is majority co-owned by Capital Q and Vision, grew to manage branding for artists around the world.

i heard q say tukwila is that where this is?
Been buggin me, Is there some sort of story behind Naks chosing his name based off the name Snak?
that's what ive been wondering for the longest time
isaacrocksyay DenisDudes yeaa me too and them two are really good friends out of all the members in SDK think Snak wouldnt like him as much cuz of similar names
If I heard correctly I think naks at one point used or thought about using the name skan but there's a writer out there (I think near them)with a similar name I think it may be skan or scan or something and so he reversed it out of honour for said writer.
Yeah and theres another dude in SDK with the name SNAX
bruce wayne scan is a big montreal writer.
good... :D

ld somebody explain to me, why they are in front of the camera, showing their faces and shit but are still painting illegally? Is it just that they don't care? :D
Canadian laws are different bro, I think they need to caught in the act to be charged!!
trey7789 A german writer who did a ton of trains n shit really got in trouble because they filmed him while he was TAGGING somewhere in the underground... he luckily had the best lawyer and in the end they only got him for 1 piece. His name is foim. a google would be worth it :D
+epiikureer yeah that's true bro! but I think Canadian laws are different I remember reading it some where in comments on another sdk video! same thing would happen here in Australia if you didn't cover your face and were filmed! peace bro
SDK defacing other writers work since they were formed.
Pieces goes over throwies or dubs cba to replay it but that's what they went over I think
