Origin: West Coast Gangster Crip identity adapted into Detroit’s local framework

General Territory: Originally formed along W. Seven Mile. Through the early–late 2010s held a large zone between Evergreen and Lahser before a major RICO case took down 16 members. A small, scattered presence also exists on the Eastside.

Notable Subsets / Cliques:

*In No Particular Order*

• 7 Mile Playboy Gangster Crips (7M PBGC): Heavy activity along W. Seven Mile between Lahser and Evergreen

• East Warren Crips (EWC): Heavy activity along E. Warren Avenue near Conner Street

• Eastside Playboy Gangster Crips (E/S PBGC): Older, smaller clique tied to blocks along E. Warren

Notes:

Detroit PBGC sets operate independently of LA-based PGC but retain the Playboy identity and Gangster Crip structure. Considered one of the most organized Crip sets in Detroit’s history, with extensive documentation of coordinated criminal activity.

General Territory: Northwest/Westside, Five Points neighborhood; concentrated along W. Seven Mile between Evergreen and Telegraph

Notable Subsets / Cliques:

*In No Particular Order*

• 24000 Blocc a/k/a “ScoreGang”: One of the most visible cliques, heavily seen on walls and in rival crossouts

• Baby Hyenas Gang (BHG): Youth-gang of the W7M Crips with a strong street presence

• Tiny Lok Krew (TLK): A prominent graffiti clique affiliated with the W7M Crips

Notes:

W7M ETGC is generally understood to be a localized adaptation of the Eight Trey (‘8Tray’) Gangster Crips, a well-known Gangster Crip identity that originated in Los Angeles and expanded nationally during the late 1990s and early 2000s. While the group draws heavily from the symbolism, terminology, and cultural influence associated with the Los Angeles-based Eight Trey tradition, local accounts describe W7M ETGC as an independent Detroit offshoot rather than a formally sanctioned chapter operating under direct authority from California. Within northwest Detroit, W7M ETGC is widely regarded as one of the more organized and publicly visible Gangster Crip–identified groups. The organization is active within the broader 5Point Nation (5PN) and Movin Gang (3X) alliance structure and has developed a substantial presence through territorial identification, neighborhood influence, social-media visibility, and extensive graffiti activity throughout the Five Points corridor and surrounding areas. Community documentation, graffiti records, and local accounts frequently identify W7M ETGC as one of the larger contemporary Crip-affiliated groups operating on Detroit’s west side. The group maintains documented associations and alliances with several other Crip-aligned organizations referenced in community reporting and gang-documentation sources, including Y.L.S. 107 HCG, Brightmoor Gangster Crips (BGC), East Warren Crips (EWC), and Paybacc Crips (PBC). These relationships form part of a broader network of affiliated groups connected through shared symbolism, neighborhood ties, and participation in the larger 5PN/3X alliance structure.

General Territory: Eastside and Westside; most active along 6 Mile and across various W/E Warren pockets

Notable Subsets / Cliques:

*In No Particular Order*

• GreenGuyz: One of the most visible SGC identifiers

• 1229 / ReaperGang: Youth-heavy clique with a strong music presence

• 6 Mile ShoutGun Crips (6M SGC): Activity along 6 Mile near Livernois

• Warren ShoutGun Crips: Presence around both E. Warren and W. Warren corridors

Notes:

ShoutGun Crips are one of Detroit’s most fragmented Gangster Crip sets, defined tightly by blocks and micro-territories. Some cliques, such as 1229/ReaperGang, maintain ties to Rollin 60s Crips, underscoring how Detroit’s “Gangster Crip Card” operates far more fluidly than out-of-state Gangster Crip structures.

General Territory: Minor but steady Westside and jail-system footprint; street-level activity is viewed as largely defunct with no known youth pipeline

Known Subset:

• 6 Mile 52 Hoover Gangster Crips (6M 52 HGC): Small clique tied to the 6 Mile–Schaefer area

Notes:

Detroit Hoover sets operate differently from West Coast Hoover politics; alliances and rivalries do not map cleanly. Periodic 107 Hoover Criminals Gang (Y.L.S.) tags have appeared near ScoreGang graffiti, though not consistently enough to confirm an active presence in Metro Detroit.

General Territory: Minor but steady presence in the Brightmoor neighborhood of northwest Detroit; street-level activity is viewed as partly defunct with current activity being minor

Notable Subsets / Cliques:

*In No Particular Order*

• W/S BGC

• N/S BGC

• Grape Street Gangsters (GSG)

• Various other spin-off cliques

Notes:

BGC (Brightmoor Gangster Crips) is documented as a small but active Gangster Crip–aligned street group operating primarily within Detroit’s Brightmoor neighborhood and the broader ’23 Zone’ (48223 ZIP code). Available sources and graffiti documentation indicate long-standing alliances and associations with local Gangster Disciples–aligned groups, including BMG. The group maintained a visible tagging and graffiti presence throughout the Brightmoor area during the mid-to-late 2010s, particularly amid localized graffiti conflicts commonly referred to as “tag wars,” where rival street gangs and neighborhood factions repeatedly crossed out or defaced each other’s markings to assert territorial influence and neighborhood dominance. Some individuals associated with BGC have adopted symbolism, iconography, and stylistic elements linked to the Grape Street Watts Crips (GSWC), including references in graffiti, colors, and online imagery. However, individuals connected to the group have consistently denied any formal organizational ties to the original Watts-based Los Angeles gang. In recent years, BGC has increasingly been observed aligned or associated with younger west side Detroit groups, particularly factions connected to the W7M ScoreGang Crips, with documented overlaps appearing in graffiti activity, neighborhood affiliations, and mutual opposition to rival groups.

General Territory: The Eye neighborhood (48219 ZIP code)

Notable Subsets / Cliques:

*In No Particular Order*

• Worm Gang / WG / WGC (claims Wormer Ave in The Eye neighborhood)

• 17300 Lunatics / 17-3 LC’s (claims the 17300 Block of Lenore Ave in The Eye neighborhood)

Notes: The W/S Paybacc Crips (PBC) are a Gangster Crip–aligned street gang originating from Gardena, California, where they are more formally known as the Gardena Paybacc Crips (GPBC). In Southern California, the group is historically aligned with other Gardena-based Gangster Crip factions, including the Shotgun Crips (SGC) and Thug Family Gangster Crips (TFGC). According to community accounts and local observations, a small PBC presence later emerged in Detroit by the late 2010s, primarily on the city’s northwest side. While the group has never developed a major footprint in terms of size or notoriety, individuals identifying with PBC have reportedly operated alongside more established Crip factions in jail environments and neighborhood alliances, including groups connected to the Playboy Gangster Crips (PBGC), 6M 52 Hoover Gangster Crips, and W7M ETGC. In Detroit, PBC is most commonly associated with “The Eye” area of northwest Detroit, where members have occasionally been observed gathering around Edward G. Heckel Park wearing customized blue apparel and bandannas displaying identifiers such as “PBC” and “W/S PAYBACC.” The group has also been associated with localized tensions and rivalries involving the larger 7-Tel Rollin 40s Crips (R40s), a Neighborhood Crip–aligned faction operating under the Rollin/2X tradition. PBC is generally regarded as one of the smallest documented Crip factions operating within Detroit.
