Five Point Generalz

From Rap Dictionary

The Five Point Generalz are a small tight-knit group of individuals with origins to Toronto's west end, particularly the Weston Road area. This gang was conceived by five original members nick named the 5 Generals (hence the name), but quickly gained numbers as they recruited other local thugs into their ranks. Members of this gang traditionally sport tattoos rather than colours like other gangs. The 5PGz (as they are referred to) first gained notoriety after one of its members were implicated in the shooting death of 11-year-old Ephriam Brown who was caught between what police describe as a gun fight between two rivals[1]. The 5PGz also made headlines when one of its members was killed while attending the funeral of an associate of the gang [2], also cut down by gunfire on Eglinton Ave. West [3]. Although drug trafficking is their main source of income, the Five Point Generalz are more infamously known for robbing would-be and established drug dealers alike, gaining them many enemies throughout the GTA. The 5PGz claim the stretch of Weston Road between Eglinton Ave. West north to Lawrence Ave. West as their turf along with a stretch of Eglinton Ave. West from Keele Street to Weston Road, overlapping an area claimed by the Eglinton West Crips. Their main rivals would include the Driftwood Crips, Mount Olive Crips, The Gatorz, Jungle City Goonz and the VR Troopers gang.
