Editorial note

  • 'Kings' in the context of graffiti refers to graffitists who have earned a high level of respect and recognition within the graffiti community. The title of 'King' is not self-proclaimed but is bestowed by the community in acknowledgment of the graffitist's skill, creativity, and contribution to the graffiti-scape. A 'King' often signifies their status by adding a halo or crown to their tag or other graffiti writings. This visual marker serves as a testament to their standing within the community and their achievement in 'getting up', or becoming well-known and respected. The concept of 'Kings' underscores the social and hierarchical aspects of the graffiti culture. It highlights the community's role in recognising and honouring the talents of its members and the importance of respect and reputation within this sphere.
