    Not sure if it's a similar crew but back in the early 90s in the San Fernando Valley STP was a known tagging crew. But as kids we knew it as Setting The Pace. Set The Pace could be a contraction to fit the building space or could be the latest generation from the same crew or a similar outfit using that name now. This is not anything new in Los Angeles. It actually goes in cycles there's an explosion of graffiti by active groups then they get older or move on, popularity diminishes and goes underground for a few years but eventually resurfaces. The difference now is the rapid exposure that's available to post something online and reach massive audiences.
