The 118 East Coast Crips (118ECC) also known as 118 East Coast Blocc Crips (118ECBC) are an African-American street gang located on the East Side of South Los Angeles, California. Their neighborhood is around 118th Street, between Main Street and 120th Street (borderline). The 118 East Coast Crips are a subset of the larger East Coast Crips, and are associated with the Neighborhood Crips (2x Deuce) card.
