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).
“Man, them Detroit Hyena Crips (83GC) don’t play — I heard they ran off a dude for crossing out their tag.” — Detroiter
