Get the Street Crew mug.A Detroit street crew based in Five Points (48219), also tagged as 83GC, W7M ScoreGang, or W7M ETGC. They rep West Seven Mile and the Evergreen/Telegraph area, and are a local (non-LA-affiliated) Crip subset tied into the Detroit 5Point Nation (5PN). “W7M” means West Seven Mile, “ETGC” is Evergreen Telegraph Gangster Crips, and “83GC” is a cipher for “Hyena Crips Got Control.” Known for territorial tagging and various street-level crimes, they’ve been mentioned in local news, Alamy stock photos, Flickr shots, YouTube vids, and community gang databases.

Get the W7M Hyena Crips mug.An alternate name for Detroit’s 5 Point Nation (5PN), a loose Crip-aligned network centered around the Five Points area on the city’s far northwest side (W. Seven Mile, Grand River, Telegraph, 48219 ZIP). The term pops up in tags, online references, and local chatter, but it’s essentially just another label for the same Detroit 5PN alliance rather than a separate set.
“Bro, ‘5Points Gangster Crips’ is just another name for 5PN — same crew, same Five Points roots.”—Detroiter

Get the 5Points Gangster Crips mug.Another name used for Detroit’s 5 Point Nation (5PN), a Crip-aligned neighborhood alliance based in the Five Points area around W. Seven Mile, Grand River, and Telegraph. “5Points Crips” shows up in tags, online posts, and local slang, but it isn’t a separate set — just a shorthand label people use for the same 5PN alliance.
“When folks say ‘5Points Crips,’ they’re really just talking about 5PN reppin that whole Five Points neighborhood (aka the “26 Zone”).—Detroiter
