Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure takes you to the early days of a new art form. It's the early 1980s and you're a kid from the ghetto, discovering the new world of graffiti art.

As the newest graf writer out there, you'll have to live up to the old street motto: "Get IN, Get UP and Get OUT". Prove that art can change the world!
