Santana Blocc Compton Crips (SBC)

The Santana Blocc Compton Crips (SBC) are one of the most feared and respected Crip sets coming out of Compton in the early 1990s. Known for their relentless street presence, violent reputation, and deep involvement in criminal enterprise, the Santana Blocc Crips shaped the culture of Compton, Los Angeles during one of the most dangerous eras in California gang history.

Led in 1993 by Rico “Grim” Brown and Kenneth “OG Turtle” Wayne Johnson, the set continues to build its name through drug trafficking, robberies, weapon possession, and ruthless gang wars against rival sets. Members of SBC live by loyalty, hustle, and violence—survival in Compton depends on it. Background

After the crack epidemic hit Compton in the late 1980s, SBC grew rapidly in both numbers and influence. With the downfall of older leaders, the torch was passed to the younger generation. Fredric “Baby Gangster” Stafs and OG Turtle originally gained notoriety for their reckless violence and willingness to go to war over the Blocc. Over time, leadership shifted, and the gang found stability under Grim and OG Turtle, who continue to command respect both on the streets and behind prison walls. By 1993, Santana Blocc had a reputation for:
Armed robberies of corner stores, liquor stores, and unsuspecting hustlers.
Drug trafficking (primarily crack cocaine and weed distribution).
Weapon possession and the illegal gun trade.
Violent clashes with rival sets (primarily Blood sets and other Crip rivals).
Extortion of businesses and individuals within Compton.

The crew thrives off fear, intimidation, and loyalty. Betrayal is rare—but deadly when it occurs.

Territory & Culture

Santana Blocc claims Compton as its heart, specifically around Santa Fe Avenue, Rosecrans Avenue, and surrounding blocks. Murals, graffiti, and gang tags dominate the landscape, marking the crew’s dominance.
