History of the Bay: Fate MSK

Fate is a dedicated graffiti writer from Los Angeles who also made his mark in the Bay Area. Growing up in the skateboarding and punk rock scenes of SoCal, he got into graffiti as a teenager and eventually joined the legendary crews MSK and AWR. After moving to San Francisco, Fate brought the LA mentality to the city and sought after hard-to-reach spots. He was a good friend of Tie (RIP) and a mentor to Norm (RIP). When his crew started having issues with Bay Area writers, Fate stepped up and participated in an epic battle that went down in graffiti history.For promo opportunities on the podcast, e-mail info@historyofthebay.com--History of the Bay Spotify Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3ZUM4rCv6xfNbvB4r8TVWU?si=9218659b5f4b43aaOnline Store: https://dregsone.myshopify.com Follow Dregs One:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1UNuCcJlRb8ImMc5haZHXF?si=poJT0BYUS-qCfpEzAX7mlAInstagram: https://instagram.com/dregs_oneTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@dregs_oneTwitter: https://twitter.com/dregs_oneFacebook: https://facebook.com/dregsone41500:00 Intro 02:16 Punk rock & skateboarding 07:59 Early graffiti 10:25 History of AWR 16:10 Cops and gangs19:45 Joining MSK / AWR28:50 Moving to the Bay39:48 SF graffiti44:35 LA x Bay rivalry51:33 Norm1:00:04 Tie1:09:37 Tie’s death1:19:51 Painting the Tie ship1:26:14 MSK / ICP battle 1:33:07 UB “United Bay” 1:48:39 Moving back to LA 1:57:18 Angus Cloud
