KIS 42

KIS 42 was influential in the starting of the scene. He grew with some of the first UK writers to gain notoriety like Sir Beau, Set 3, Tilt and Coma. KIS started tagging and piecing trains and tracksides around 1985-86.
His style set the template for the Met Line style, which emphasised getting up quick and often, using angular bubble letters that were easily readable to those in the know.
The Metropolitan line was the chosen line because it was long, overground and had yards in sleepy backwaters like Rickmansworth and Chorleywood, where clued-up kids from Wembley and Harrow could paint with impunity.
