Detroit Hyena Crips (83GC)

A small, mostly African-American street crew from the far northwest side of Detroit, mainly active in the Five Points neighborhood (ZIP 48219). Their territory stretches roughly from Five Points Street (west) to Telegraph Road (east) and from Eight Mile Road (north) down to Grand River Avenue (south). Most activity is centered around the 24200–24700 blocks of West Seven Mile Road.

They’re best known for their role in Detroit’s “tag wars,” where crews mark turf through graffiti battles, and for rivalries with other local sets like the Black P. Stones and Rollin’ 60s Crips. While not a fully structured gang, the Hyena Crips (tag: 83GC) are seen as a respected neighborhood crew connected to the larger 5Point Nation (5PN).

Baby Hyenas Gang (BHG)

A youth-led branch of Detroit’s Hyena Crips (83GC/H-Gang), made up of younger members from 26Gang (26G) and Tiny Laughers Krew (TLK). Active in the Five Points area (ZIP 48219), they carry on Hyena influence through tagging and local street presence.

W7M Hyena Crips

A Detroit street crew based in Five Points (48219), also tagged as 83GC, W7M ScoreGang, or W7M ETGC. They rep West Seven Mile and the Evergreen/Telegraph area, and are a local (non-LA-affiliated) Crip subset tied into the Detroit 5Point Nation (5PN). “W7M” means West Seven Mile, “ETGC” is Evergreen Telegraph Gangster Crips, and “83GC” is a cipher for “Hyena Crips Got Control.” Known for territorial tagging and various street-level crimes, they’ve been mentioned in local news, Alamy stock photos, Flickr shots, YouTube vids, and community gang databases.

The Internet Hyena's Grasp

The definition of either:

1) The Internet overinflating a trifle and milking it for every last ounce of content
2) Everyone and their gramma taking a current event and making a video about it

The word comes from the YouTuber W3TB who compares these actions to Hyenas ganging up on weak animals for food.

26G /Baby Hyenas Gang (BHG)

Also known as Two-Syxx Gang (2+6=8 → “H” for Hyenas), 26Gang (26G) is a youth street clique from Detroit’s far northwest side, viewed as the younger offshoot of the Hyena Crips (H-Gang). They’re sometimes called “Baby Hyenas Gang” (BHG) for that reason. Most active in the Five Points neighborhood (ZIP 48219)—particularly around the 19200–19800 blocks of Five Points near West Seven Mile—their turf runs roughly from Five Points (west) to Winston (east) and Frisbee (north) to Seven Mile (south). Many members come from the Grandview Townhomes, with activity also spotted in Redford on Brady Street near the liquor store.

Based on publicly available reporting, the group referred to as the “Hyena Crips” or “Scoregang Crips” in Detroit is not recognized by law‑enforcement as an established organized set, and no official records confirm a multi‑member structure. Publicly observed activity associated with the group largely consists of graffiti tags and documented markings, rather than evidence of an organized tag‑wars crew with recognized members or defined territory. As of all publicly accessible information, no law‑enforcement agency in Detroit or Oakland County has verified the existence of a formal “Hyena Crips” set.
