808 is a set located in the West Chatham neighborhood that consists of Gangster Disciples and some Black Disciples. Its territory ranges from 87th to the north, 89th to the south, Holland to the east and Harvard to the west. Members consider its main blocks 88th and Princeton as well as 88th and Yale. 808 is completely isolated from other hoods by the train tracks surrounding it, making it a unique residential enclave.

808 has been gaining popularity in the drill scene over the last few years thanks to its younger generation of members. The set has had connections with people all over the south side including late rapper TP from THF46, who made songs with its rappers back in 2010: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyO1b_acMh8

808's history with gangs is generational and can be traced as far back as the early 90s. The set took one of its earliest losses in 1993 when 19-year-old Michael Shariff, who lived on 87th and Princeton, was shot and killed after getting into an argument with two 15-year-olds from a rival gang. The proof of this incident occurring can be found in this article: https://www.chicagotribune.com/1993/06/07/girl-charged-for-role-in-gang-killing/

Other names 808 goes by include 808Mobb, 8Block, 80sBabies, 808Reapers, YoungFlyGuys (YFG), JumpOutGang (JOG), WamTeam, WamWam, DonnyGWorld and FreddieWorld. The earliest uses of the name 808 that's been found online so far can be found in their members' Chicago hood vlogs from 2009: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7wmkNaWW5Q, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8TTLuaMmHw
