PJ Watts Crips

The PJ Watts Crips (or "ProJect Watts Crips") are an African American street gang founded in the city of Watts in South Los Angeles, California. This gang holds the 112th Street (North) to Imperial Highway (South) between Grape Street (West) and Mona Blvd (East), where the Imperial Courts housing projects lie. Beyond their rivalry with traditional Blood sets such as the Hacienda Village Bloods, Circle City Piru, and the Bounty Hunter Bloods (although the Bounty Hunter Bloods were briefly engaged in an unofficial truce with the PJ Crips to combat the Grape Street Watts Crips) this gang have got a feud with the Jordan Downs' Grape Street Watts Crips, started on July 1987 [1]. Before that, the two sets used to get along and they came to a cease-fire the days previous to the 1992 Los Angeles Riots. The peace treaty also involved all the gangs from the other Watts' housing projects. The PJ Watts Crips are also enemies of the Santana Blocc Compton Crips, Mona Park Compton Crips and Carver Park Compton Crips as well. The name PJ Watts Crips is short for the original name "Project Watts," due to the fact that Imperial Courts were the first Housing Projects built in Watts.
