For over 10 Years Secret Walls (formerly Secret Wars) has brought live art painting battles to the masses in over 50 cities throughout the world. Start Los Angeles Pico Union played host to the battle. MC hosting duties were held down by the one and only Rakaa Iriscience of Dilated Peoples, who got the crowd hyped for the evening's festivities. The two teams in this battle were: Team Reddit vs. Team Monorex. Each Team on the same wall had an hour and a half to create a mural using only black paint.
