All-city Edit Meaning

1.

Word used to describe a graffiti writerwho achieves the status of king in a city or region. Typically prolific in terms of tags, throw-ups AND pieces. May also be known for stencils, wheat pasting or other guerilla tactics. All-city status is most often temporary as writers can only reign the streets for so long before they are repeatedly arrested, become increasingly involved in a more above-ground arts community or move on to other hobbies/retire. Derived from the term all-star. Can also refer to a group of writers (unlike king).
