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).

Get the Hyena Crips Got Control (83GC) mug.A small African-American Crip-affiliated street crew based in Detroit, Michigan, mainly active in the Five Points (48219) area — especially around the 24200–24700 blocks of West Seven Mile Rd, Grand River & Telegraph (MetroPCS), and 7 Mile & Telegraph, known locally as hot tag zones.
They’re known for tag wars, hood graffiti, and territorial beefs with rival crews like R60s, Black P. Stones, and Vice Lords.
Also referred to as ScoreGang (SCRG), Two-Syxx Gang (26G), or W7M ETGC, they’re considered part of a local Crip alliance called 5Point Nation (5PN).
Their mark is the tag “83GC”, short for “Hyena Crips Got Control,” seen all across Detroit’s west side.
More of a street crew than a traditional gang — they haven’t been formally identified by law enforcement as an organized gang with hierarchy or major arrests — but their influence runs deep in Five Points. Originated around 2016, reportedly as a graffiti crew called “B.S.S.”, before evolving into what they are today.
