Mount Olive Crips

From Rap Dictionary

The Mount Olive Crips are a mainly black Toronto based street gang named after a housing complex on Mount Olive Drive in Rexdale, Ontario. Although the Mount Olive Crew has been in existence since the 1980s, members did not initially claim the Rexdale Crips card until the early to mid 90's. The Mount Olive Crew were once allies of the Jamestown Crew, but a shooting of a prominent Mount Olive gang member tore a rift between the two groups which resulted in many casualties on both sides respectively. The Mount Olive Crips were involved in many violent confrontations with other street gangs as well, but their war with the Doomstown Crips were played out on the streets of Toronto in a decade long series of tit-for-tat retaliatory shootings and killings. Most recently, conflicts with the Five Point Generalz, Driftwood Crips and Ardwick Blood Crew have been simmering as well. Mount Olive Crip members range in age from early teens to late 30's and are generally made up of those who grew up in that particular area of Rexdale. Members have branched off from their home-turf of Rexdale, Ontario and can be found in other majour Canadian cities such as Ottawa and Calgary, Alberta. Authorities maintain that members of the Mount Olive Crew are usually heavily involved in the distribution of narcotics throughout the city and some members are known to be involved in the arms-trade.
