A historic Northwest Detroit high school (1921–2007) once known for academics, athletics, and its massive red-brick campus. Closed due to declining enrollment and later demolished for a Meijer plaza.
Back in the day, everyone on the Northwest side knew Redford High School (Detroit), now it’s just a Meijer lot where we used to hang out.”—Old School Detroiter

Hyena Crips (Brooklyn & Detroit)

Hyena Crips
Local street gangs based in Brooklyn, NY, and Detroit, MI, involved in violent crime, including murder, robbery, and fraud. Members call themselves “Hyenas” or “Heenz”.

Brooklyn: Founded in the early 2010s, members in East Flatbush faced federal charges for racketeering and multiple murders. Around 2015, some Brooklyn members placed affiliates in Detroit.

Detroit: Known as “83GC” (Hyena Crips Got Control), a localized Crip set active in Five Points (ZIP 48219). Operates in a Gangster Crips/3X-Movin Gang and Gangster Disciples area, adopting the “Treys” identity. Famous for tag wars and disputes with rivals like Black P. Stones and Rollin’ 60s Crips.

Media & Recognition: Outsiders often confuse them with L.A.’s 83 Gangster Crips due to graffiti. Featured in YouTube videos, news coverage, and an August 2025 Detroit News interview decoding their internal cipher.

Notable Members: Drippy, Cradley, Juice, Kappy, Jab, Weezy, Breezy, Tiny Joker, Syxx, Baby-Bear, M-Loc, Bleu, Dino

Detroit

Detroit is an American city founded in 1701. A struggling city, went bankrupt from 2013 to 2015. Lost a lot of people, but a lot of white people are here now. A lot of gang influence in the Westside. Blight programs are in order to get rid of all the abandoned homes to make land for another use. Recently built the best architectural looking arena ever, Little Ceasars Arena. We have Detroit-Style pizza, which is extremely good. Crime has gone down so much, we moved 5 in most dangerous cities in the USA. Detroit isn't that bad, you just have to see it for yourself, if not, then don't talk shit.
Detroit was actually pretty awesome, saw a lions game, wish I hadn't come here
