Dangerous Chicago Gangs: The Rise of the Traveling Vice Lords

#vicelords #chicago #documentary

From East Garfield Park to the “Wild Hundreds”, the Traveling Vice Lords (TVLs) have left a lasting mark on Chicago’s streets. This deep-dive uncovers how a faction born in the 1960s became a citywide network tied to drug empires, violent feuds, and cultural influence.

In this video, we break down:

🔴 The rise of the original TVLs, founded by Ugly Frank
🔴 The formation and legacy of Wicked Town, one of Chicago's deadliest crews
🔴 Inside the blocks of TTU-CaliMob, born at California & Lexington
🔴 The 2515 Rockwell roots of J-Dubb/RollieMobb
🔴 The tragic downfall and federal cases tied to LPMG/WickedTown
🔴 Music-driven sets like JohnnyMob 1300, DrizzyGang, CheddaBoyz600, and MGM/KO
🔴 South Side powerhouses including 4Block-MVP, HobMob, and AeroCity-JoeGang
🔴 Low-profile but active cliques like 4800, SpauldingBoys/700, WayWayGang, and Waller/700
🔴 The street and rap influence of DukeMobb/NHB, repped by artists like DukeBoy Saw and 5Double0

👉 We explore how these sets formed, clashed, and survived — even under RICO indictments and federal raids.

This isn’t just gang history. It’s a hard look at what happens when loyalty, street power, and systemic neglect collide.
