Tagging Crew

A neighborhood crew defined by the act of tagging—spraying symbols, letters, or codes on walls, buildings, and street corners. Tagging crews often operate like a street crew, sometimes claiming ties to larger gangs, but most focus on visibility, reputation, and psychological control over actual violence.
“That tagging crew from the Westside turned every alley into their gallery—they don’t need guns to run their block.”

Street Crews

A group of around 20 (give or take) locals who hold down their neighborhoodtagging walls, flexing turf both online and in person, and sometimes linking or spinning off from bigger gangs. Street Crews aren’t always about violence; they’re about presence, unity, and respect that speaks louder than beef.
Street Crews move in the shadow of bigger gangs but often stay more active, more connected, and more in tune with the real neighborhood pulse.

Neighborhood Crew

A tight-knit group of 25–30 locals (more or less) who proudly rep their neighborhood. They might hustle, tag, or just move as an all-around street family. Their identity comes from the block’s heartbeat—not headlines or indictments. Most stay off the radar for years, known only to those who live where their name still carries weight.
“That neighborhood crew, the Dexter Boyz, been around forever—I can’t lie, bro. No RICO, no paperwork, but everybody in the city know ‘em.” —Local Detroiter

Tagger Crews

Street crews known for repping their identity through graffiti — usually with three- or four-letter acronyms or coded alphanumeric ciphers. They earn respect by consistently tagging walls, marking territory, and defending their turf if someone dares to cross them. They might not be full-blown gangs, but they’re definitely not pushovers — disrespect their tags, and you might end up on their opp list.
“Aye, don’t touch that wall — the tagger crews from around here beefin over that spot. You tryna get pressed?” — Neighborhood locals

Street Crew

A small, local group—usually neighborhood-based—that moves together for reputation, protection, tagging, or hustle. Not always a fully organized gang, but still respected in their area. Loyalty, presence, and rep mean everything.
“Bro don’t mess with them, that’s a real street crew—small circle, big impact.”—Locals
