Graffiti giants like Rime and Toper made Staten Island their stomping grounds during their New York City come up. And even if it is a place known for welcoming transitory residents (see some notable members of the infamous Wu-Tang Clan) or cats from Jersey - since the Bayonne Bridge connects to the Garden State - Staten Island breeds them hard. This is probably why powerhouses like Rime and Toper don't find it too hard to "regulate" on walls and surfaces like they had to commandeer growing up writing together.
