The Peda Roll Mafia click changed in 2006 to Peda Roll Squad, and they have no allegiance or relations with the “Mafia” Crip alliance.Ī history of Grape Street was published in issue #2 of Allhood Magazine. – Ten-Tray Ballaz (they live in the Blu-Gates) – 112th Grape Street Watts Crip (near Willowbrook St. – 107th Grape Street Watts Baby Locs Crip (off of Santana-the original street) – 105th Grape Street Watts Baby Locs (New Homes, Blue Gate Baby Locs) – 103rd Grape Street Watts Baby Loc Crips (in the Jordan Downs Housing Projects) – 97th Grape Street Watts Crips-Bandera Blocc (one-way streets) – 95th Grape Street Watts Crips (one way streets) – Anzac Grape Street Watts Crips (different from the ones in Compton) They occupy the Jordan Downs Public Housing and most residents attend Jordan High School which is located adjacent to the public housing. They are named after a north-south street in Watts, Grape Street, and 103rd is the heart of their neighborhood. In addition to wearing blue, they like wearing purple for grape. They are the largest Crip neighborhood in Watts at 0.394 square miles and the second largest overall black gang in the area, second to the Bounty Hunter Bloods. Their area goes from 97th Street (north) to 107th Street (south) between Wilmington (west) and Alameda (east). The Grape Streets have aligned themselves with most Tray neighborhoods such as the Eight Tray Gangsters and Play Boy Gangsters, most Compton Crip sets, but they have had a tenuous relationship with the Rollin 30s Crips. The Grapes have several clicks that make up the entire neighborhood that include the following: Baby Locs, Peta Roll Squad, Peta Roc Squad, Peta Loc Squad, Parolee Squad, 95th, Bandera Blocc 97, 103rd, Dust Town Crip, Dust Town Hoggs, and Tip Top. The truce efforts that took place in Watts in 1992 should be a great example of what can be accomplished in other areas of the city if replicated in other neighborhoods.
Their main rival would be the Bounty Hunter Bloods that are located in the adjacent Public Housing called Nickerson Gardens, but since the Watts truce of 1992 their rivalry has not been as intense as it was during the 1980s and early 1990s but it does flare up periodically. When the Mexican gangs in Los Angeles aligned themselves under the Sureno banner as South Siders under Mexican Mafia influence in 1992, the Mexicans began to distance themselves from the Blacks. Most of the Baby Loc Crips were from the 103rd Street click in the projects, but most new Black members did identify with WVG anymore, but some old long time members of this neighborhood (pre-1987) still by habit say WVG and still have WVG tattoos.
New black members after 1987 that were from the Jordan Downs Public Housing projects went by Baby Loc Crips, but some of the new members from the Anzacs, 95th, 97th Banderas Blocc, 105s, 107s and 112s clicks do not necessarily go by the name Baby Locs. Around 1986 or 1987 a new generation of Black members started East Side Watts Baby Loc Crips. The Mexican began to call themselves South Side Watts Varrio Grape Street and the Black members went by East Side Watts Varrio Grape or Eastside Grape Street Crips. This alliance was strong and maintained up until the early 1990s. By 1976 the Jordan Down Crips transitioned their name to Grape Street Crips under Kenneth “Crow” Day and during this time the Grape Street Crips which consisted of the Black members and the Watts Varrio Grape, the Mexicans were aligned.
The blacks started the Jordan Down Crips around 1973 and a guy named Pee Wee is considered the founder. They are specifically located in the Jordan Downs Public Housing of Los Angeles.ĭuring the 1970s, this neighborhood was called Watts Varrio Grape (WVG), which included both Mexican and Black members together. Eastside Grape Street Watts Crips (GSC, GST, WBLC, GSW) are a predominatly African-American street gang located in the Watts section of Southeast of Los Angeles, California.
