In this video, we take a closer look at the most infamous gangs in the DMV area and their impact on the city’s history and culture. Simple City (The Circle/The Ave): Located in the Benning Terrace Projects, Simple City is one of D.C.’s most notorious neighborhoods. Known for its deep cultural roots and violent feuds, this area has been home to legends like Marvin Gaye and infamous figures like YG, whose crimes shocked the city. 37th Street (GMG): Known as “The Yo,” 37th Street has connections to the music industry through rappers like Shy Glizzy and No Savage. This large Southeast crew is a key player in D.C.’s gang dynamics, with feuds against Simple City and Clay Terrace. 3rd World (4300): Based in the Southern Hills Apartments, this Southeast crew is closely tied to 3rd Street and the 4300 block of Livingston Road. Known for their alliances with Mellon Street and 42, 3rd World has a strong legacy despite changes in the area. 21st Vietnam/LBlock (Blow Godz): Representing Langston Terrace and Carver Terrace, 21st Street is known for its musical side, Blow Godz (BG), and its rivalry with Simple City.
