Jose 'PRIME' Reza (K2S / WCA) — K2S Co-Founder & Crew Admin • Godfather of LA Style Writing
Jose 'PRIME' Reza is one of the earliest pioneers of Los Angeles style writing, helping establish K2S (Kill 2 Succeed) out of Pico-Union and Belmont High School in 1985. His foundational pieces at the Belmont Tunnel helped define the distinct West Coast aesthetic.
“We built our own alphabet in Pico-Union and the Belmont Tunnel when the rest of the world only knew New York subways.”
