We not as deep as were were in the mid to late 80s. I don't think anyone is repping the crew on the streets. But if u run into me at any graff function, I still rep TAG ALL CITY!!!! Most of the folks who kept the crew alive in the 90s were in Northeast LA.

INF (INFAMOUS)
FNR (FOR NO REASON)
FNO (FEAR NO ONE)
LOD (LEGION OF DOOM)

If I think of any others, I'll post them.

In L.A. I mainly hear about STP, UTI and CBS. They are more piecers than street taggers these days. A select few still bomb the streets, but nothing like the 80's and 90's. It seems in the 2000's there were a lot of slaptaggers in lieu of using paint.
