BEWARE OF THE ALPHABET BOYS

In my day (mid 90’s) we had hundreds of three letter crews to watch out for in the hood. We had VIP, BMW, NBC, MOB and other posses of youth who ran the streets wild…Some of these crews exists. Some were absorbed into the bigger umbrella of Blood and Crip.

Now that we are older, we have other letters three letter gangs to watch out for, and they ar alot more viscious.
