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
“You better watch where you’re walking in Five Points—those Hyena Crips (Brooklyn & Detroit) tags aren’t just graffiti, they mark territory.”—Detroiter

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
