Street Team/3.0

The Street Team was a street gang established on the 25th of May 2021 that resides in Little Seoul. The gang was led by Jaylen Carter Jr. They were disbanded on the 28th of April 2023 as CG had exited the weed game and H&O was shut down.

Street Team rose to prominence as a crew working for Wayne Biggaz of Chang Gang, serving as runners, pushers, and enforcers for his drug operations throughout Los Santos. Street Team eventually matured into its own gang specializing in large drug operations and carrying out their own criminal activities, both large and small.

Street Team's criminal reputation as a plucky group of loyal hustlers & willing drug runners under Chang Gang's crime syndicate eventually inspired other criminal groups in the city to establish their own "street teams", or sub-crews that grind and do dirty work for them.

Street Team had a total of 17 members: 15 Full Members, 2 Associates.

Background[]

Street Team made a quick name for themselves in Los Santos due to their various connections & reputation as reliable grinders. Their strong sense of loyalty and willingness to do almost anything earned them the respect of many big names in the criminal underworld, most notably, Chang Gang.

The name Street Team was coined by Wayne Biggaz, as they were his "Street Team"—a sub-group of criminals serving as runners, growers, pushers, and enforcers for his weed empire—when he met them through Billy Phresh. As their reputation & power grew, Street Team branched out and developed into its own organized gang with close ties to Chang Gang, operating as a branch of its criminal syndicate.

Activities[]

Street Team participated in crimes of all sizes, ranging from petty crime to organized drug and weapons trafficking operations, gang wars, and shootouts with police. Street Team members had organized large marijuana harvests, cook meth daily, had reached the highest rep in weed and 100% purity meth with public labs, had organize large-scale heists, partook in street racing, and have completed large meth runs and high-level boost contracts. Pigeon was a well-connected individual and one of the biggest weapons and drug dealers in Los Santos, often involving his gang members in his weapons and drug deliveries.

The gang's lower-level crimes included scamming, stealing rims from vehicles, stealing ATMs, burglary, selling drugs on the street, and low-level boost contracts.

Heists[]

Street Team completed their first gang-only City Vault heist in July 2022, after members used practice laptops from The Game Masters. Their first gang-only updated Paleto Bank heist took place in August 2022 and was a success, and they completed the updated City Vault in September 2022. Some Street Team members had taken part in the Casino Heist alongside the Mariachi. Due to their experience in bank heists, a number of Street Team members have become competent hackers as of September 2022 and assist other gangs with heists. The gang completed the Oil Rig Heist as of November 2022.

Drug Operations[]

ST Planting — Street Team planting weed on their block in Little Seoul

Street Team specialized in growing and trafficking marijuana but also produced their own meth. Street Team was a dominant force in the Los Santos weed game, having organized & participated in numerous 100+ plant Changaloa-style marijuana harvests and Pigeon having the highest rep weed strain in San Andreas.

Street Team members completed large meth runs and have reached 90% purity meth, with Arya Shah being the primary cook. On the 16th of November 2022, Street Team struck a deal with the HOA to purchase their meth lab in Sandy Shores for $9.5 million, resulting in the gang possessing a meth lab for the first time.

Territory[]

"You're pretty much CG at this point, alright, so if we're buying a turf, you move in with us" - Randy Bullet to Jaylen Carter

Street Team block (low res) — View of the Street Team block

In November 2021, Chang Gang moved into Little Seoul and claimed it as home turf for the gang and transforming it into a hub for the gang's friends & associates. After talking to Randy Bullet, Jaylen Carter purchased a house in Little Seoul, leading to other members of Street Team to follow suit. Little Seoul became a hub for both CG & ST members alike, with both gangs sharing overlapping turf there. This was amplified when Hydra Gang also moved to Little Seoul in April 2022, strengthening ties between the gangs through proximity.

In June 2022, Street Team began eyeing new turf near Little Seoul to claim as their own, in the hopes of eventually obtaining a gang flag.

The Street Team block in Little Seoul was renovated on the 28th of July 2022. The project was carried out by Bob the Builder.

Relations[]

Chang Gang - Street Team worked very closely with many of Chang Gang's legal and illegal operations and even established familial ties. Wayne Biggaz and Mari Posa are Honorary Members, Jaylen was adopted by Vinny Pistone with Novah Walker becoming his adopted sister, and Lil Bleach was adopted by Ramee and April, but has also been mentored by Mr. Kebun.

Street Team and CG members committed crime together and also supported each others' businesses. For example, Street Team did a lot of work procuring cars and materials for both Hutch, Vinny, and Ramee's legal and illegal needs. Jaylen is the CEO of H&O Exports and is also a salesman for VLC Imports. Arya Shah, James Malding and others support Mr. Kebun, Ramee, Randy, and Chodie's businesses. Pigeon used to traffic Class 1 and Class 2 weapons on behalf of Randy Bullet & Vinny.

Street Team had its own hierarchy and operates on its own, but is recognized as one of two branches of CG's criminal enterprise, alongside Hydra Gang.

Hydra Gang - As a fellow branch of the Chang Gang crime syndicate, Street Team & Hydra used to have close relations and occasionally committed crime together & back each other up. After Hydra moved to Little Seoul in April 2022, the two gangs became so close the members began dating each other: Stone & Emeka, Arya & Phantom, Daph & Bogo, Mercury & Kio and Billy & Lilly. However, there are currently no existing relationships between both gangs and relations between the two gangs collapsed in late 2022 after a series of events that broke any degree of trust between the gangs. As of April 2023, Street Team & Hydra appear to be on speaking terms again after the coalition war.

Bowl Cut Gang - Members of the now defunct Bowl Cut Gang can often be seen committing crimes & fighting wars with Street Team or hanging out with them in Little Seoul. Ace Carter & Derek Dixon are former Street Team associates while Stone Malone became a Full Member. They still proudly wear their bowl cut hairstyles.

The Families - Former Street Team Leader Jaylen is technically a blooded-in GSF member and used to sometimes hang around their turf in the south side. He was gifted a GSF chain upon request by CG leader Mr. Kebun, whom produces them via The Jeweled Dragon. Mercury Frost & Pigeon also possessed GSF chains, as Mercury was dating Drew Jackson at the time. However, ST-GSF relations collapsed in May 2022 after the gang protected Drew from Dexx Martin during an internal feud. A short conflict ensued which saw two GSF members (Microphone & Megaphone) die and ST cut off all friendly ties with GSF, including Drew. Since then, relations have very slowly mended, with individual members such as Pigeon and Billy Sprinkle staying in contact.

Conflicts & Events[]

As allies of Chang Gang, Street Team members used to participate in some of Chang Gang's conflicts and vice versa. Some Bowl Cut Gang members were absorbed by Street Team in 2022 and fight alongside each other.

Early conflicts
In January 2022, Street Team got into a short war with three gangs—Marabunta Grande, the Yakuza, & the Balbani Crime Family—all at the same time, & won the war. The war began over a dispute over meth distribution. (Section needs expansion with earlier conflicts and wars in 2021)

Street Team invade the Lost compound

March 13, 2022 - Invading the Lost Compound

On March 13, 2022, Street Team & Bowl Cut Gang kidnapped two Lost MC members to use as hostages for a vault heist. The heist failed due to interference from the Bondi Boys MC, resulting in ST/BCG being gunned down and transported to Pillbox Medical Center. The Lost arrived & broke a Street Team member's finger to send a message to no longer kidnap Lost members. During the confrontation, 4Head insulted the Lost's eagle (regarded as sacred to the club), prompting them to kidnap him & executed him by dropping him from a crane while being shot at, akin to "skeet shooting". Following the incident, Street Team & a BCG member began hunting for Lost members in Sandy Shores & formulating a plan to attack the Lost's compound at Stab City. ST used a Sand King to breach the east side of the compound, resulting in a gunfight that left only two ST members (Sport and Lil Bleach) and one Lost member (Reed Dankleaf) alive. Unable to find Reed, ST negotiated to retrieve bodies & the two sides subsequently ended the beef. President of the Lost MC, Rudi Rinsen, privately asked Street Team to not tell other groups how they breached the compound.

Street Team/Hydra vs Gulag Gang War

July 30-August 5, 2022: Street Team/Hydra Gang vs Gulag Gang War

Hutch temporarily joined Street Team on August 3 after he was annoyed at GG shooting up the CG Compound while fighting Street Team. Wayne made Hutch a temporary second-in-command to lead the gang in shootouts.

On August 5, a few GG members pushed ST block in Little Seoul, circling and repositioning throughout rooftops and back alleys in the area. Mercury, Daph, and later Q, huddled into a corner and held the southeastern approach into the compound after Bobby Porter was shot down while on the roof. Separately, Wayne had entered Little Seoul alone and his car was shot at, he then grabbed a rifle and repositioned all around Little Seoul, dropping Future and Richard while solo. He shot Elena Vega point blank after catching her alone in her car in the back exit of UwU cafe. The ST girls and Wayne were on separate radios and did not know they were both fighting GG at the same time. Not long after, Hutch woke up and he and Wayne decided to ride out to X-Mart to catch Marty after they saw him post on Twatter. They caught him riding solo at the gas station and robbed him of valuable equipment GG needed to rob the City Vault. Wayne and Hutch used this as a bargaining chip to end the war, to which Marty eventually agreed to end the war in exchange for getting his equipment back. With this, the war was over.

Pigeon & Mercury become co-leaders

August 5, 2022: Pigeon & Mercury become co-leaders

After Street Team's poor performance in the previous war against Gulag Gang, interim leader Wayne Biggaz and temporary second-in-command Hutch Hutcherson, lost faith in the gang's future and both stepped down from their leadership roles. They both cited members leaving the gang, OGs going MIA, leadership issues, general weakness and back-to-back wars lost, and a supposed lack of focus, as reasons that Street Team's best days were far behind it. Wayne suggested that either Pigeon and/or Mercury step up and lead the gang as they emerged as the closest to being "leaders" after Jaylen stepped down. Wayne & Hutch argued that Street Team's supposed reputation as a weak and dying gang to outsiders was becoming a liability to the Chang Gang crime syndicate, and that if they could not lead themselves without a Chang Gang member leading, the gang should disband and members should probably join the revived Top Shottaz, allowing the Top Shottaz to take over the Street Team block in Little Seoul. Pigeon told Wayne that he would not let the Street Team ship sink, but it all depended on if Mercury wanted to step up, as she previously insisted she would only lead the gang alongside another member, not as a single leader.

After some discussions were held where Street Team members admitted the gang's state of weakness, Pigeon & Mercury agreed they would jointly lead the gang both as co-leaders with the aim of reviving the gang's stability, focus, and reputation, thus beginning a new chapter for the gang.

On October 17, Mercury stepped down as co-leader, citing that the gang had become more stable and grown since August, and her being in a leadership role was no longer necessary. Pigeon remained as sole leader.

Street Team vs Royal Mafia War

August 22, 2022: Royal Mafia betrays "the Mafia"

Royal Mafia were kidnapped and gunned down by "the Mafia" (Street Team in disguise) during a weapons drop gone bad, where Royal Mafia had neglected to bring the sufficient funds for the purchase. Subsequently, Royal Mafia ambushed the "mafia" at a second gun drop and robbed and gunned them down. Street Team then went to war with RM "on behalf" of the mafia.
