Maybe this is common knowledge but I came across this interview and MCA talks briefly about a script he wrote:

Have you written a script?
Yeah, there’s a script I wrote with a friend of mine. We’re currently looking for funding. It’s about graffiti writers. It takes place in 1981, in New York. It’s kind of focusing on a certain period of time in New York when the transit authority was trying to stop the graffiti writers from writing on the trains. It’s about that time and that world.

Does anyone happen to have this? I'd love to read it.

It was titled Of Toys & Kings and it was being developed in 2006, it made it all the way to the casting phase. I saw a portion of the script for auditioning actors, and a brief synopsis. The lead characters name was Mark and his street name was "Trak"

It was being produced by a lady who ended up being credited for FFYRR, Samantha Storr, seen here (http://atlasofthefuture.org/samantha-storr-interview-virtual-reality/) with Yauch on set for the Triple Trouble video.

Here's an old thread featuring more details and it includes a story from an actor who was up for the part.

And here are some of the details of the production company. Maybe Yauch's film will someday be made...
