WHG watts hat gang started out as a group of kids comming together to protect them self from others nighborhoods that where around them.thay never thought or wanted it to become like it is today! if you would have told them that thay was starting something that would end up k-ingg there kids and nephews and niceses. thay would have never started it. wonder if we would have started something pos; where we would be today.and how many live’s would be diffrent i mean how many would not be in jail or dead!

I was born in compton but we moved to NY do to the heavy violence in 82. My uncle chris is a crip from the OL SCHOOL in Cali. he taught me and my big bro all about crippin. In 88′ I went back to Cali from NY and was introduced to Hat Gang and was put down by some Ni66ahs. first they beat my ass then I got a handkerchief and was told to build from that. i was taught the signs and the walk and have kept true to the black flag. I was 8 then. I went back to NY after the summer and aint never not repped for Hat gang. I lived by drew high school and a school behind it named russell I believe when I was in Cali. But because I aint stay in Cali which was impossible I came back to NY and Ni66ahs be actin like a Ni66ah should stop reppin. I say f nah HGW till I live. I might not be banging but best believe HGW4Life. AKA lilMain
