E/S 84 Main Street Mafia Crips, commonly referred to as 84 MSMC, Main Streets, or simply Mafioso Gang, is a long-standing African-American Crip set based in the East South Central area of Los Santos. The gang controls territory around 84th Street and Main, stretching between San Pedro, Broadway, Florence, and surrounding residential blocks. They operate under the larger Mafia Crip umbrella and maintain close ties with other Main Street and Mafia-associated sets, most notably 98 Main Street Mafia Crips, often representing together under the “984” alliance. Despite being smaller in numbers compared to other Mafia cliques, 84 Main Street has developed a reputation for being one of the more active and violent subsets, known for quick retaliation and consistent street presence.
Historically, early members were associated with the Swan cards under the name Main Street Swans. Over time, internal politics and shifting alliances led the group to separate from their former ties and fully align with the Mafia Crips identity. This transition marked a turning point for the set, turning former allies into rivals and establishing Main Street as its own independent force within East Side gang politics. Since then, the neighborhood around 84th & Main has remained firmly under their control, with generations of members growing up directly within the same blocks they claim.
Daily operations primarily revolve around street-level narcotics sales, armed robberies, dice games, and taxing independent dealers operating within their territory. Members are known to move quietly and avoid unnecessary attention, relying more on low-profile activity rather than public displays or heavy social media presence. Most enforcement and retaliation occurs late at night, often involving car-to-car shootings, alleyway confrontations, or quick “fade” style attacks on rivals entering their area.
84 Main Street maintains strong relationships with other Mafia Crip sets including 98 MSMC, 99 Watts Mafia Crips, Fudge Town, and Blue Gate Mafia, frequently linking up for protection and larger conflicts. At the same time, the set holds ongoing rivalries with Hoover Criminals, Mad Swan Bloods, and nearby Crip neighborhoods, with turf disputes and personal conflicts regularly escalating into violence. Several unsolved shootings and homicides in the Florence and Broadway corridor have been attributed to these long-standing tensions.
In terms of identity, Main Street members traditionally wear navy blue and gold colorways, often sporting fitted caps, flannels, and starter jackets matching those tones. Common tattoos include “84MS,” “984,” or “Mafia” in script lettering, along with Crip stars and neighborhood references. Rather than large murals or excessive tagging, their presence is typically marked through smaller handstyle tags, clothing, and word-of-mouth reputation within the community.
With increased law enforcement pressure and gang injunction zones around Main and Florence, the set has adapted by keeping a lower profile, though activity in the area remains consistent. Younger generations continue to claim the neighborhood while honoring older members who helped establish the set’s name. Despite their quieter approach compared to larger gangs, 84 Main Street Mafia Crips continues to hold a respected and feared position within East South Central’s street politics.
