Mad Swan Blood
From Rap Dictionary
The Swans were first known as the 77 Main Street Swans in the early 1970s before they were known as Bloods and they were once allied with the Main Street Crips in the area. The Swans are believed to have been started by Elvis, aka Dead Arm Elvis around 1973. They are located from 77th Street North to 84th Street South. Former NFL wide receiver Charles Jordan was from a neighborhood dominated by the Mad Swan Blood gang (and continued to claim it) when he was on the Miami Dolphins in 1997. Star NBA point guard Baron Davis grew up in this same neighborhood and supports a basketball program in the Swans community. The Mad Swan Blood gang is aligned with two other sets claiming Swans called the 89/92 Neighbourhood Family Bloods, who are from 89th Street North to 92nd Street South (collectively they are known as the Family Swan Bloods). Their main rivals include the 18th Street gang, the Avalon Gangster Crips and the East Coast Crips. They have a close relationship with the Inglewood Family Gang and the Centinela Park Family, who collectively make up what is known as the Family Alliance.
