Issue #8 of Graff It! expands the canvas once more, blending graffiti, street art, and underground beats with a global and critical eye. Kicking off with the third installment of Arts & Graffs, this issue dives into the collective energy of United Artists, questions the tension between art and advertising, and shares a candid conversation with Greg from Triiad.
The Graphik Styles section brings bold visual substance, featuring Scien & Klor’s signature aesthetic, a delicate portfolio by Marie, and an all-out Battle of the Styles. From characters to sketchbook work, the lines stay sharp and the energy high.
Out in the world, the focus moves from Nigeria’s emerging scene to France’s local heat: Toulon’s Eurograff, the explosive Way of Spray, and the constant dialogue between burners and surfaces in both the provinces and Paris. In the capital, events like P19 Jam and stories like Papytrikoteur reveal how creativity and community intersect beyond clichés.
The Worldwide section carries momentum with Urban Dream 2003, while United Colors continues its role as a living archive of walls and trains, both local and global.
Sound-wise, the music section hits deep: Chronics, DJ Géro & Kid Koala on turntables, underground gems from Lowlife and Ninja Tune, and a tribute to Willy Man. The spotlight on RZA ties it all together, reminding us that street culture isn’t a niche — it’s a language.
