History

Formation

According to one source, the Rollin 90s Neighborhood Crips branched off from the Rollin 60s Neighborhood Crips, retaining the "Rollin Neighborhood Crips" name. Another source indicates that the Rollin 90s Neighborhood Crips formed independently from the Rollin 60s Neighborhood Crips, but later formed an alliance at a 1983 party, where some members of the Rollin 60s Neighborhood Crips noted that the names of both gangs ended with "0". As a result, the two gangs decided to unite and this alliance has since spread to other gangs, including the Rollin 40s Neighborhood Crips.

Rivalry with the Eight Tray Gangster Crips

In 1979, a rivalry developed between the Rollin 60s Neighborhood Crips and Eight Tray Gangster Crips. The rivalry developed after a fight occurred between a member of the Rollin 60s Neighborhood Crips and the Eight Tray Gangster Crips over a girl. As a result of this rivalry, many gangs had to side with either the Rollin 60s Neighborhood Crips or the Eight Tray Gangster Crips. The Rollin 90s Neighborhood Crips became allies with the Rollin 60s Neighborhood Crips.
