Who are the Asian Boyz?

Answer 1

Asian boyz is a gang started out in the late 80's in the Los Angeles area, although it is generally stated that it started out in long beach that is not really correct. In the late 80's there were 3 separate gangs called the Asian boyz. this explains the variation of ABZ , abs and ABI Asian boyz in L.A. county.

There are the Asian boyz ABZ in long beach , Asian boys style abs in Van Nuys (San Fernando valley) and Asian boyz insane or insanity ABI in Los Angeles (Chinatown).

Long Beach ABZ shares a similar lineage to Tiny Raskal gang TRG it's rival gang and sometimes ally in long beach. Both gangs itself traces its roots to 2 crews sometimes called teenage rapists tr (tr is where Tiny Raskal came from) and another crew called ultimate new wave or ultimate wave warriors (which has been said is where ABZ came from). Of course there were tr members that got into ABZ and ultimate members who got into trg. trg members also switched sides to ABZ and ABZ members who switched to trg. which causes even more confusion into lineage of both the trg and ABZ gangs. It is common in the old days to see TRG members with ABZ tattoos and ABZ members to have TRG tattoos.

Long beach ABZ is allied for life with the Asian gangs Suicidal Town st and exotic foreign creation/creative Crips/Croterie EFCC. A racial gang war with the Latino gangs in long beach forced many Asian gangs to ally themselves like the ABZ/EFCC group and call a truce with cold blooded Cambodians CBC (later called crazy brother clan) who once was allied with TRG. An alliance that no longer exists.

Van Nuys abs was started in the small Cambodian community around van nuys blvd. and Valerio street. though the gang started out as a small Cambodian gang it's numbers swelled with the influx of Vietnamese and Filipino members. It is often said that Van Nuys Asian boyz came from long beach that is not really correct. Both the Van Nuys faction and long beach faction started separately around the same time in the late 80's. The confusion is due to several Cambodian van nuys abs members who had friends and relatives in long beach ABZ getting jumped into long beach ABZ to make both abs and abz gangs the same gang. The first generation of the van nuys faction were called abs for Asian boys style. 2nd generation were mostly ABZfor Asian boyz. 3rd generation was split between those from the west San Fernando valley and Simi valley who claimed abs for Asian boys (mostly Vietnamese and some Koreans) and those in the east San Fernando valley who claimed Asian boyz abz (mostly Cambodians with some Vietnamese and Filipino's. Though they were had different letters s for some and z for others it was just different cliques of the same gang. Most of the current generation from van nuys are abz but there are a few members who claim ABS.

L.A. Asian boyz insane/insanity abi started out in Chinatown with mostly Chinese members. abi is now defunct with most members moving to San Gabriel valley when most of the Chinese families moved out of Chinatown. Chinatown is now oriental lazy boyz olb territory. Their lineage however lives on in San Gabriel valley as west side Asian boyz. Not to be confused with north side Asian boyz also based in San Gabriel valley or the growing amount of van nuys abs/abz also in san gabriel valley. The oldest members of Asian boyz in San Gabriel valley will be members of the original Chinatown ABI.

Long Beach ABZ , Van Nuys ABS and Los Angele's a.b.i. were the original 3 gangs that became Asian boyz and spawned te various other sets around the country with members moving to other cities and states. Fresno abz for example was founded by members from long beach. San Jose ab (later abz) was founded by a brother of a van nuys abs. Monterrey park abz was started by l.a. abi. Bakersfield abz was founded by a Fresno abz member, and so on.

There are currently 5 active factions in Los Angele's county. East side long beach Asian boyz based in the long beach area (the original long beach abz faction), van nuys Asian boys/boyz based in the San Fernando valley area with some members in Simi valley and San Gabriel valley mostly Cambodian and Vietnamese (The original van nuys Asian boys style abs faction). West side Asian boyz based in San Gabriel valley mostly Chinese and Vietnamese (traces its lineage to the original L.A. Asian boyz insanity ABI faction and it's offshoot Monterrey park Asian boyz ABZ). North side long beach Asian boyz based in the long beach area mostly Cambodian and Lao (offshoot of the original east side long beach faction).

North Side Asian boyz based in San Gabriel valley started out with Cambodian and Filipino members but now mainly Vietnamese and Chinese (founded by a long beach ABZ member who recruited a few members in Newark , Downy , Cerritos , Whittier area before finally setting up in the San Gabriel valley)

For a brief time there was a central side Asian boyz in the la Canada and Korean areas. this was not a real Asian boyz gang. this set was founded by a former van Nuys Asian boyz member who was kicked out of the gang for not being active and not meeting the standards of the gang. it had mainly Thai members , like its founder and Koreans. this side is no longer around after being broken up for being claimers by the van Nuys faction.

--CENTRAL SIDE ASIAN BOYZ-

The information above about Central side has been a rumor for many years started by rival gangs. It is true that Central Side Asian Boyz was found by a member of Van Nuys side member but C-Side had close ties with the Van Nuys and Long Beach sides afterwards. It actually started in Glendale and La Cresenta and reached out all the way to Cerritos. It had Thai, Cambodian and Korean members and for a brief time it was known as the most dangerous gang in Los Angeles. Central Side Asian Boyz continued "Summer madness" started by the O.G's of ABZ shortly after the pool hall shooting accident. Central Side ABZ were known for small tactical warfares like the Navy seals catching enemies off guard inside buildings or in isolated areas. This side has been broken up since few years ago due to age.
