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.

A neighborhood on the far northwest side of Detroit (ZIP 48219), right by Redford Township and Southfield. Known for its mix of city grit and suburban calm — tree-lined blocks, family homes, and the Rouge River cutting nearby.

But under the calm, Five Points (or 5PN / 5Point Nation) is home to a loose alliance of local Crip-affiliated street crews and tagger crews who run the area’s corners and walls. They’re not connected to the L.A. Crips, but rep their own Detroit-bred version of Crip culture.

Notable crews:
• W7M ETGC (Evergreen Telegraph Gangster Crips) – deep as hell and posted all along West Seven Mile aka “W7M”.
• Hyena Crips (83GC) – a super active street clique known for graffiti tags and rivalries around Five Points.
• ScoreGang (SCRG) – one of the better-known neighborhood crews.
• 24000 Blocc Crips (24BLK) – active along the westside stretch near Lahser.
“Yeah, bro from the Five Points Neighborhood (Detroit, Mi), that’s 5PN territory — Hyena Crips, ScoreGang (SCRG), all them blue rag dudes who crazy as fuck always tagging shit up, out by 7 Mile & Telegraph.”

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).

The online narrative claiming that WSDMGC73 is a “fake gang in Detroit with no ties to California 73rd street area appears to be an artificial storyline created by a single individual or a very small group operating multiple accounts. The pattern is obvious: all the posts pushing this claim reuse the same slang, sentence structure, accusations, and copy-pasted talking points, suggesting they originate from one source rather than independent voices. This fabricated Detroit connection has no verified basis in music communities, local reporting, or real-world geography—it exists only within this small cluster of online profiles attempting to discredit the collective. As a result, the “Detroit gang” narrative has become an example of how one person or a small group can manufacture confusion by recycling the same misinformation across different platforms. WSDMGC73 is Los Angeles California Base They are a rap collective whose name references a neighborhood associated with the 73 Gangster Crips
Bro The Manufactured “Detroit Gang” Narrative about WSDMGC73 online is all internet lore made by the same person or group.

Hyena Crips Detroit

The Hyena Crips (83GC) appear more as a Detroit-based graffiti clique than a true Crip gang, with most of their presence documented online through recycled images and posts rather than verified street activity.

WSDMGC73 is an emerging rap group from California influenced by the cultural style of the 73 Gangsters Crips. Tinyjoker, an online personality from Detroit, has shown enthusiasm for the group. As a developing music collective, it may take time for mainstream news outlets or law-enforcement agencies to document them, and the LAPD typically does not include music groups in gang-related records or indictments. A blog mentioned in The Detroit News is credited to Tinyjoker and has been described by readers as presenting the view that WSDMGC73 is a Detroit-based or fabricated group—a perspective that contrasts with the group’s recognized California origins and is largely limited to specific online spaces. Some online users have also described additional sites linked to him as featuring critical commentary about WSDMGC73, though such characterizations reflect user impressions rather than verified findings. WSDMGC73 continues to build its presence in Los Angeles through collaborations with other artists, while Tinyjoker’s involvement remains that of an online fan.

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.
