Fall River and New Bedford are two different cities with its own street politics. How are the two cities similar/different from each other? Do some of the crews from back then (Mafioso, Dover Boyz, Lincoln Family, etc.) still around? What are the dominant groups of today?
I understand that homegrown organizations such as Goodfellas and Ghostface Gangsters, but what other homegrown organizations (if any) have a presence? If people don’t join an organization, do they usually just run with the city their from and/or ride solo?
Just by the title, I know you might be confused but hear me out. Considering that Detroit and West Virginia have ties with one another, it’s quite interesting how people from Detroit have not economically built up certain areas (Huntington, Charleston, Morgantown, and etc.). It’s always fascinated me that Detroit people have had influence/ties in some way, shape, or form in a state like Tennessee, but West Virginia not so much (correct me if I’m wrong). Do you think it would make a difference for Detroiters to move into the major cities of WV to economically build it up? What Influence does the D have in WV? Would you recommend the state to anyone? (Please, Correct me for any misinformation).
Check out my new project called “The Legacy EP” on all platforms. I would like to shout @paperkutzstudios (Brockton, MA) for letting me record at their location and @billtemper and @olitemper for the instrumentals.
Many times when OC members go to prison they usually go to federal prison (if not state prison). From what I was told Italian mafia members have a sizable presence in USP Hazelton (correct me if wrong), and Cubans had a sizable and powerful presence in some federal prisons as well in the 80’s (not sure how it is now). How much presence do Crime groups (Italian, Cuban, African, and etc.) have in the state/federal prison? Do they play a big role in prison politics? Do they have any influence in prison to a degree?
ABZ has a presence in many East Coast states but the state of Massachusetts has the largest presence. Many of the ABZ in Mass come from California, But many are natives as well. The cities with largest presence of ABZ are Lowell, Fall River, and Worcester.
As shown in the picture many different ethnicities make up the East Coast ABZ in Mass. They have a decent amount of Puerto Rican and Dominican members but still mostly remain Cambodian and other Asian groups.
While many of the ABZ stick to making money, They do feud with groups like the Asian Bloods, Trinitarios, Tiny Raskals, and Latin Kings.
If anything is incorrect let me know.
