The 58 Neighborhood Crips (58NHC), also known as the 5-Eight Neighborhood Crips, are a street gang based in South Los Angeles, California. They are part of the Rollin 50s Neighborhood Crips, often referred to as the “Nifty 50s,” and are considered a long-standing set formed during the late 1970s and early 1980s. The gang is predominantly African-American and falls under the Neighborhood Crips (Deuce/2x) alliance, functioning as the southern component of the Rollin’ 50s structure.
The group traces its origins to the 58 Hustlers, an early neighborhood-based crew focused on street-level hustling and local activity. During the 1980s, as Crip alliances became more structured and conflicts intensified, the group transitioned into a formal Neighborhood Crip set. This shift was influenced in part by figures associated with the Rollin 60s Neighborhood Crips, helping align the 58s with the broader 2x identity.
Their territory is centered along 58th Street on the west side of South Los Angeles, generally between Normandie Avenue and Vermont Avenue, forming the southern boundary of the Rollin’ 50s area.
Cultural Associations
The 58 Neighborhood Crips have been referenced in South Los Angeles oral histories and digital media documenting the evolution of Westside street culture. Highlighting the transition from early “hustler” crews into structured Neighborhood Crip sets.
The term “Nifty 50s” is often used culturally to describe the collective identity and unity of the 55, 57, and 58 Neighborhood Crips, reflecting both history and neighborhood pride. The area’s layout and proximity to major corridors, including the 110 Freeway, have made it a recurring setting in content exploring the social and cultural landscape of South Los Angeles.
Allies and Rivalries
The 58 Neighborhood Crips are founding members of the Rollin 50s (or Nifty 50s) alliance, maintaining an inseparable bond with the 55 Neighborhood Crips and 57 Neighborhood Crips. This alliance was formalized in the mid-1990s to end internal friction and present a unified front against external threats. Due to their foundational history, they maintain an exceptionally close relationship with the Rollin’ 60s Neighborhood Crips. They are also allies of the Rollin’ 40s Neighborhood Crips and the Rollin’ 90s Neighborhood Crips.
The gang maintains a fierce and multi-generational rivalry with the Hoover Criminals (specifically the 52, 54, and 59 sets) and the Eight Tray Gangster Crips (ETGC). These conflicts are rooted in the historic 1979 split between the “Neighborhood” and “Gangster” Crip factions. Other notable rivals include the 51 Trouble Gangster Crips, the Van Ness Gangsters (VNG), and various Blood sets such as the Harvard Park Brims.
