Jordan Downs In the mid-1950s, the city of Los Santos developed a subsidized housing project to aid residents in Rancho, a community in southern Los Santos crippled by numerous socio-economic disadvantages. Known as the Jordan Downs Projects, the buildings are home to a large population of African-American and Hispanic-Americans who share similar struggles with poverty and racial discrimination. Over time, the housing projects fell into disrepair due to government neglect. Crime rates in the area skyrocketed as residents turned to illegal activities to supplement their incomes with the hope of making it out of the projects. In addition to the poor living conditions, a long history of alleged police abuse has resulted in tensions with law enforcement throughout the community. With a lack of opportunities available for its disenfranchised residents and their deep-seated distrust in authority, the Jordan Downs quickly earned a reputation as a breeding ground for crime, violence, and gangs. Police records reveal that a large percentage of the crimes reported in Rancho can be linked back to the young gang members who have established a stronghold and claimed the projects as territory. Of the gangs that dominate the Jordan Downs, there are two that stand apart - Grape Street Crips and Rancho Varrio Grape. 03 Locs The Grape Street Crips (also known as Rancho Baby Loc Crips) are a predominantly African-American street gang based in the Jordan Downs. The Grape Street Crips have been featured in various television shows and documentaries including “Crips and Bloods: Made in America”, “Dead Homies”, and “Gangland”, making them one of the most well-documented gangs in Los Santos. The Jordan Downs is home to several up-and-coming recording artists, many of whom are affiliated with the Grape Street Crips. In modern times, the Grape Street Crips consist of a large number of members, most of them still in their early ages. These young affiliated members don’t let youth change any of the actions they commit, they can regularly be seen accomplishing a variation of crimes. The main one being drug distribution, however. Rapping is one of the gangs main ways of income, providing for most of the firearms being given to the younger generation. Grape Street Crips can regularly be seen sporting purple to show their affiliation to Grape Street, they don’t sport the regular blue flag that Crips normally wear. Due to the long going beef with PJ Rancho Crips. As Bounty Hunter Rancho Bloods and PJ Rancho Crips went defunct, Grape Street began thriving once again. Roadrunner Both gangs, Bounty Hunter Rancho Bloods and Grape Street are reputable for beefing & loving each other at the same time. To this day, it's been documented that Grape Street Crip and Bounty Hunter Blood members tend to start families with one another. A lot of infighting occurs in Grape Street Crip, Bounty Hunter Bloods & PJ Rancho Crip hoods because they are the largest controlling gangs in Rancho. The infighting usually starts over females, it is way too common. An example of this that is documented was the shooting of 03 Greedo, he was shot in the leg by a female due to his infidelity.

It's common to find someone who got put on Grape Street in New Jersey, Louisiana, Memphis etc roaming around the projects. Also due to the large connections throughout the USA this makes it way easier for the Grapes to traffic drugs. Creating a large network. Gutta Gang Formed in the late-2000s, the Gutta Gang clique is composed of young affiliated members who share a common goal - chasing money. The clique takes its name from “Out the Gutta”, a popular song by a Grape Street Crip rapper. The Gutta Gang engages in a variety of activities (both legal and illegal) to attain their wealth. Its members routinely ‘flex’ on Facebrowser, drawing attention to the fact that they are largely money-oriented. Rancho Varrio Grape Rancho Varrio Grape (RVG) is a street gang operating out of the Jordan Downs Projects in southern Los Santos. The gang’s roots can be traced back to the early-1970s and, at the time, was composed mainly of African-American and Mexican-American youths. Over the years, the Latino affiliates began to closely align themselves with the Mexican Mafia, which led the gang to alter its name to South Side Varrio Grape 13 and resulted in the black affiliates branching off to form the Grape Street Crips. Tiny Wynos The Tiny Wynos (TWS) is a clique of the Varrio Grape street gang. Presumed to be one of Varrio Grape Street's most recent cliques, TWS mainly consists of young teenaged members that can often be found hanging out with the Grape Street Crips. The Tiny Wynos clique was formed after internal disagreements caused members to split from the Tiny Malos (TMS) clique. The split resulted in a small internal war between TWS and TMS that ultimately ended with a truce in the mid-2000s and the arrests of several of TWS members. With a weakened presence on the streets, remaining members slowly began to rebuild by focusing on the recruitment of young teenagers and local taggers from the Jordan Downs. Currently, the Tiny Wynos are operating out of the Jordan Downs as one of the largest and most active cliques of the Varrio Grape Street gang. Gangster Lokos Gangster Lokos(GLS) is one of the oldest and still standing cliques of Varrio Rancho Grape 13.
