When ever I wrote my name, weather it was JEE or weather it was JAMES T-O-P was on the other half and I always write it. It's the only organization that I ever wrote for. T-O-P is like graffiti royalty and I'm just so happy that I'm a member of T-O-P. We are like royalty is what I'm tryin' to say. It is one of the true graffiti organizations. Being a member of T-O-P is a privilege and a lot of guys worked a lot of years to become a member of T-O-P. meaning that all of all our work is really incorporated and you know what I mean, it can't be copied or reproduced. is really a closed sort of organization Not only are we T-O-P we are T-O-P Incorporated.
