Neighborhood Crews

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.

“Them neighborhood crews, off Mack Ave, 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
