Interview by Aprocks
50mm Staff Writer


It’s Monday June 27 a late night and I’m on the 710 heading into the South
Bay. The freeway is calm and almost empty. I’m on my way to meet up with
one of the city’s most active bombers. You’ve seen the name on the
freeways, at yards, on street walls, billboards and the like. There is no doubt
that this cat is putting in work, I’m ta...

Colossus of Roads

Interview by Gabe the Saint
50mm Staff Writer

Years ago on my way to school, I would cross the railroad tracks as a short
cut into the eastside of town. It was here in this small train lay over where I
first encountered aerosol style graffiti on freight cars. I was intrigued with the
idea that a piece could actually travel around the country on a rolling canvas.
Because of my new dis...

Radio Spotlight: C-Minus

Interview and Photography
by James Morris
50mm staff writer


One of the mavericks of Los Angeles radio, C-Minus is always up to something. His love for all things genre defying is one of the things I love about this guy.

Music Spotlight: Z-TRIP

Interview and photography by
James Morris
50mm staff writer

Somebody stuck the chocolate in the peanut butter, and a good thing’s happening. Shit, I love it when the underground rears it’s ugly head and cusses out the squares.

What I found was a little unexpected but dope to witness.....
