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

Redford High School (Detroit)

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

Five Points Neighborhood (Detroit, Mi)

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.”

The Manufactured “Detroit Gang” Narrative

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.
Hyena Crips Detroit ? 83GC ? Never heard of them.

5Point Nation Crips (5PN) — Detroit-Based Crip-Aligned Alliance

The 5Point Nation Crips (5PN) — Detroit-based Crip-aligned alliance, also called ScoreGang (SCRG), 5Points Crips, 5Pointer Crips, 5Points Gangster Crips, or Hyena Crips (83GC) — are a coalition of loosely connected Crip-identified street cliques in Detroit’s Five Points neighborhood (ZIP 48219) and surrounding northwest corridors. Formed around 2015–2016 from overlapping youth graffiti crews like Bloc Side Soldiers (B.S.S.) and North Side Soldiers (N.S.S.), the alliance operates as semi-independent subsets, including ScoreGang, ETGC, 19000 Blocc, 24000 Blocc, Tiny Lok Krew (TLK), and Baby Hyenas Gang.

Members share visual identifiers such as navy or royal blue bandanas, hand signs referencing “trays/treys” (3X/Movin Gang), and graffiti tags like 83GC, ETGC, 24700, 20-14, and 6-16-3. They are reported to engage in graffiti tagging, street disputes, auto thefts, small-scale narcotics, strong-arm robberies, and local intimidation.

5PN reflects hyper-local Detroit street culture and graffiti scene rather than a centralized gang. Despite West Coast Crip symbolism, there are no verified ties to Los Angeles gangs or national Crip organizations. The alliance is a Detroit-born multi-clique network maintaining a shared Five Points identity, rooted in territorial presence, cultural output, and community recognition. They are documented through 2019-2025 stock photos, YouTube mini-docs, detroitstreetgangs.com, social media, news media, law enforcement, and other sources.
