The Ivy Drive Mafia Overview The Ivy Drive Mafia is an organized street gang, formed under its independent name in 1991 by David "OG Aziz" Harrow and his brothers. The gang was originally a North Holland street-gang formed in 1974, they where a keep distributor of crack cocaine and heroin throughout the epidemic. The gang was originally lead by Jeffery L. Danielson, the nephew of a black organized Gangster from Holland. Jeffery was indicted under rape charges in 1987 which caused significant structural problems within the gang. The gang's direct connections to cocaine and heroin suppliers lead them to gain significant traction throughout Holland, throughout the mid-late 70s the gang's membership grew significantly. The gang was lead by both Jeffery L. Danielson and Robert Williams; two nephews of notorious Liberty City black gangsters. The gang was raking in large sums of money throughout the early to mid-80s, in 1983 David and Richard Harrow joined the gang as two young heroin dealers. The brothers began to gain significant traction throughout the streets of Holland, building close friendships with Robert Williams and his uncle. In 1989 David Harrow launched a coup within the gang, the goal was to take over the operations and wipe out old-head leaders from the past. Two months into the war Danielson was killed in prison by what was believed to be a hit sent by Harrow, who at the time was a 24 year old heavy-weight involved in the manufacturing and distribution of crack cocaine and heroin. The brothers then launched a full-attack on those loyal to their opponents, killing both Robert Williams and Dusty Demons and their families. Within the next 4 months they had secured their positions within the gang, reforming it to what is now called "The Ivy Drive Mafia". Throughout the late-nineties, early 2000's, to present day; The Ivy Drive Mafia built numerous connections and alliances with Liberty City gangs and syndicates. They strengthened international supply connections and imprinted their name on their territory. Ivy Drive's ranks where and still are filled experience and credibility throughout the LC Streets, it was predominantly the set 'Original Ivy Gangsters/OIG' serving crack cocaine and heroin to addicts and gangs in Holland and Northern Algonquin which a long with their cut-throat methods and strict organization, created a formidable name. There where numerous rumors' of a war with "W-Block Killers" dating back to 2002, however this war did not kick off until 2017 which resulted in a relatively stress-free Ivy Drive victory. Despite the war being one with moderate ease, the opposing gang attacked numerous establishments and rackets, murdered numerous men and politically tried to deplete Ivy Drive's resources. Their attempts where only half-met with success, it caused a disruption within the gangs operation which is still some-what felt to this day however the war left W-Block in rags and the gang disbanded in 2021. The Ivy Drive Mafia / Original Ivy Gangsters / Young Ivy Killers History The complete history of the Original Ivy Gangsters date back to Westminster Towers itself, throughout the 1960s North Holland was over-populated and run-down, it was a key area for numerous significant members. Westminster Towers housed 500 people and was a breeding-ground for criminals throughout the mid 60's to early 70's. Jeffery L. Danielson was large-scale heroin dealer and nephew of a large-scale heroin trafficker, he formed 'Westminster Block Killers' in 1974. Whilst Jeffery was an experienced gangster he was quickly swallowed up by a life of crime. Heavily addicted to crack cocaine his mental health started to deteriorate at the age of 30 and quickly made many enemies. One of Jeffery's closest men was Robert Williams and David Harrow, who where a young and highly proficient crack dealers. Robert Williams was born in 1948 and went to elementary, middle and high school with numerous future significant members of gangs from throughout Holland, being from Westminster Towers it wasn't long before he started started selling drugs. He began selling crack cocaine and heroin under Jeffery and gained a large reputation for himself, in numerous aspects. This lasted until 1972 when he was approached by his uncle Richard "Dusty" Demons. Robert's uncle was an associate of the Country Boys which at the time was a main source for crack cocaine and heroin throughout Holland. Robert spoke to the set OG Magic about the offer, he tried to manipulate the situation with force using his age as a vulnerability. Robert returned to his uncle who was shocked at Robert's naivety, from that point he took Robert under his wing and began to teach him how to really be a gangster. He returned to Magic with a firm offer, Magic responded by punching Robert in the face. Robert put a M1911 to Magic's temple in an attempt to intimidate him however in naivety he shot Magic in the head, fearing repercussions. Robert knew his next steps where to bring together as many guys on his side, something relatively easy. Robert began to consign significant amounts of crack-cocaine and heroin from his uncle and had one of the largest operations in Holland, he formed the sub-set OIG under WBK and controlled a significant amount of dangerous members including a young David and Richard Harrow and Terrell "O.G. Blitz" Valentine. A war almost broke out which would've most likely meant the total destruction of an early OIG, however a deal was struck where Robert was forced to pay homage. Richard continued to mentor Robert throughout his early days of the operations, and through a connection removed the forced homage paid by Robert. They continued to rise to the biggest distributor of crack cocaine and heroin through Holland. By 1989 weapon connections where on the horizon, the set's leadership began to step off of the streets and into businesses with the help of significant Liberty City gangsters, buying a bar in North Holland. Jeffery L. Danielson was arrested the same day the bar was bought, he was charged to 8 years for rape. The bar became extremely popular and allowed the gang to launder a significant amount of money, they began to invest into new avenues of both legitimate and illegitimate business. Richard Harrow and David Harrow controlled OIG's street operations, Terrell "O.G. Blitz" Valentine was one of their protégé's. Robert Williams, Jeffery L. Danielson and Richard "Dusty" Demons acted as partners controlling the gang and began to manage the legitimate side of business. They began to invest into the music and club industry, which lead to a significant amount of money for high ranking members of the gang. By 1989 OIG was a the largest supplier of crack cocaine, heroin and weapons the frequent and large shipments this meant that the gang expanded and heavily influenced the residential areas within their territory. Due to the high frequency of large cargo loads of weapons and narcotics, Robert and Danielson decided to make David and Richard Harrow body guards for them. By 1990 the pair where coerced into bring the Harrow's in as business partners, they sent a hit out on Jeffery L. Danielson who was incarcerated for rape. The hit resulted in an internal war between Danielson WBK loyalists and Harrow Ivy Drive loyalists, the Harrow's killed both Robert Williams and Richard "Dusty" Demons then proceeded to kill their families. They assumed total control over the operations held by the previous leadership however some where made redundant such as a prostitution ring. The brother's where being supplied military grade weapons from Central Asia through middle-men, those who had been loyal to the gang had mostly known how serious the Harrow's no where and the majority decided to side with them. Throughout the war, numerous members on both sides died however the Harrow brothers stood victorious. It was at this time that David Harrow and his brothers formed The Ivy Drive Mafia which persisted of the Harrow brother's and their trusted and high-ranked associates and the Original Ivy Gangsters or Young Ivy Killers. Throughout the 90's, 00's and 10's the gang dominated Holland's crack cocaine and heroin trade. They where the main street suppliers of weapons and bricks; supplying numerous gangsters throughout Liberty City. The Harrow Brother's imposed a form of initiation which they jokingly called "The Curse", it was an code of honor that had to be sworn on; breaking the code meant that you and your family would be killed. Dozens of people broke the code throughout the 3 decades. Ivy Mafia became notorious for their way of murdering and malignant ferocity used against traitors.

Westminster Towers, known amongst the locals as 974 or BIG 3, is a housing project composed of three buildings located in North Holland, Liberty City across the street from Galveston Ave. The buildings stand tall at 23 stories high and are homed to mostly predominantly African Americans in a notoriously low-income area. The building was constructed in the 1950s by the Liberty City Housing Authority to home lower income families. The Towers quickly grew in population in the late 1970s when a man named Jerry Browning and five others moved in. These six were the original six who moved from Chicago, Illinois to branch out the Insane Gangster Disciples which is a set in the Gangster Disciples organization. Early 80s the housing project became a notorious stomping ground for the newer generation of the gang which was named North Holland Insane Gangster Disciples and was led by Jerry Browning himself as he was appointed too General. With the newfound gang activity populating all across North Holland, the area became infamous for drug trafficking, gun trafficking, prostitution, fraud, money laundering, firearm violation, assault and even homicide. By 1984, the area was swarming with NHIGD affiliated members, mostly being African American men but had a few Caucasians, Hispanics and women who were actively committing crime. April 5th, 1988, Liberty City Police Department had been planning a large sting operation on Jerry Browning and affiliates. Jerry Browning lived in a small apartment in North Holland on Frankfort Ave and Uranium St where he would use to count, split money and distribute it out amongst the earning members. Inside the apartment were multiple guns, drugs and other illegal goods scattered around inside. At 3:42 am, LCPD secretly prepared their attack and rolled up in front of Jerry's apartment. Luckily low-ranking members noticed the large vehicles approaching Jerry's apartment then quickly called him and others about the police. Once Jerry got the call, he quickly told everyone to grab everything and stash it but unfortunately the police knocked the door down and quickly arrested the crowd before they could react dangerously. Jerry and others were placed in Alderney State Correctional Facility (ASCF) and were sentenced to 90 years imprisonment. With Jerry being incarcerated in Alderney State Correctional Facility and the street had no boss, he appointed a man named Gregory Walker a/k/a Gregory G to the rank of Major. While Jerry was in prison, he was still ranked General and used Gregory as a puppet to continue his empire while incarcerated. In 1992, everything changed when a rival gang member from Broker was incarcerated. Damian Jackson, a member of a blood faction in Broker which NHIGD were at war with at the time, was in the prison yard while Jerry was playing chess like he usually did at yard time. Damian knew Jerry was a high ranked member in NHIGD but didn't understand he was the General. Damian started to plot against Jerry and began to plan out his execution. October 6th, 1992, Damian Jackson sliced and stabbed Jerry Browning to death, killing him in the prison showers. He was dead on the spot; guards came in minutes after and reported the body; the guards never arrested or detained Damian though. In early 2000s, it was discovered that Damian bribed the guards and put them on a payroll which granted him vulnerable access to Jerry who showered alone. Damian was killed shortly after, in early 1993 while in a brawl against NHIGD members who recently got incarcerated at the time. With the death of Jerry Browning, Gregory was left on his own and was pushed up to General which they were now lacking in. North Holland Insane Gangster Disciples have actively been creating a large revenue through illegal means, from weapons trafficking, drug trafficking, to even prostitution, illegal gambling and fraud. The community of North Holland was under control entirely by NHIGD and it was all thanks to Gregory Walker. One evening on November 24th, 1999, a black SUV with tinted windows rolled past Gregory under the train tracks on Frankfort Ave, it obviously caught his eye due to the fact of it looked nice to him, it spun back again but this time it drove past slowly, and the back left window of the SUV started to roll down with a long AK47 barrel sticking out of it. Gregory quickly noticed the barrel and tried to run but was shot in the back of the head and lower spine, leaving him dead immediately. Others were around at the shooting, leaving nearly 3 injured and another dead. The day will always be remembered by members of the community as G-Day and was the creation of G-Town. The vehicle was never found, and the suspect was never detained, the case closed sadly in 2006 after no new leads were obtained. The G in G-Day and G-Town was a spin off his name and nickname (G)regory (G) but also was significant in Gangster Disciples knowledge which G stood for Hoover's Gangster symbol. This is when NHIGD took under a new name, the G-Town Insane Gangster Disciples, to pay tribute to Gregory and Hoover. After the death of Gregory G, the next Major who was under him was moved up to General which was Eric Thompson. Eric was the known clique leader of 1440 Deathvalley Gang (1440DVG) which was located at Vauxite Street and Frankfort Ave but known formally as the 1440 by the locals. With the new title he began to follow in the path of Gregory, he kept business moving and under control, the whole community was getting paid and even started a fundraiser for struggling students from North Holland to get a better education in the Liberty City Education System called the Jeffery Marshall Program. Jeffery Marshall was a 16-year-old boy who was a local resident of North Holland who never affiliated himself with GTIGD but was brutally murdered due to police injustice in 2008. Marshall was walking to the library when he was stopped by police after a 911 call explained an altercation that happened around the corner that seemed gang related. Police showed up and started to question Marshall, when he was explaining the situation that he was going to the library to study for his exam last week, he removed his bookbag off his shoulder to allow the police to search him. The officers took it as a sign of reach and shot him 4 times, 3 in the chest and 1 in the neck, killing him shortly after due to blood loss. This outraged Eric because he felt like it was his fault, he allowed local residents who never wanted to be a part of the gang to live and grow up in North Holland under the safety of GTIGD. The funding of the JMP was purely from illegal activities but used it to launder money and would say it was purely from donations of the community members and they do not disclose client's information. It was quickly shut down in 2011 though after the arrest of Eric Thompson for money laundering, racketeering and fraud. He was sentenced to 45 years in ASCF, still being the rank of General, he ordered his Major to continue the hustle on the street. While in prison, Eric began to recruit members from inside the prison system to gain a larger presence and protection while locked away. This created a safer environment for African Americans and more GTIGD members. In 2010 with almost a completely newer generation that is currently living as a modern street gang have begun to move into a more gruesome and ruthless lifestyle, who no longer carry the values that the older generations used to carry in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Members within the ages of 12-18 years old who were affiliates began to die due to gang violence. Early 2012 G-Town Insane Gangster Disciples turned to a more modern generation and dropped INSANE but still carried GD, now being called G-Town Gangster Disciples. GTGD became extremely active with gang violence, spinning on their oppositions every other week and having up to 6 murders under their belts with two months of beefing with small time gangs in the area and beyond. With opps also spinning back on GTGD affiliates in North Holland, this created an extremely high crime rate from 2.8% to 17% in late 2012, making North Holland the most dangerous place to live at. Shootings occurred multiple times a week and even scaring the locals into hiding inside and only coming out for emergencies, with locals catching stray bullets and sometimes causing death. The police had to put this to a stop, with them having marked and unmarked cars patrolling the streets, even putting the officer's lives at risk. One member from GTGD named Banksy G, who was a well-known rapper and a respected member in the faction, walked up to a parked patrol car that was sitting on the corner of Galveston and Uranium. The officer who was SGT. Rosa Martinez from East Holland Police Department. Banksy believed that the officer was originally there to create a case on either him or other affiliates who associate with GTGD. On October 14th, 2012, at 3:27 pm, Banksy G approached the police cruiser and opened fire into the vehicle, killing officer Martinez immediately. The vehicle was left with the lifeless corpse of SGT Martinez with 3 GSWs to the head, and 4 to the torso. This was the most brutal shooting to take place in North Holland and quickly made the East Holland Police Department to build up a case. Banksy was seen on surveillance cameras with a green hoodie and air forces on and actual footage of him shooting inside the cruiser. This was obviously not a planned attack and was sloppy by Banksy; police quickly began their march towards Banksy's apartment in Westminster Towers. They stopped at apartment 1405C and once they broke into the apartment via battering ram, Banksy G was inside with his HK416 ready for them. Once the door crashed down, Banksy opened fire upon the officers. At least two officers were shot and killed and two more injured while leaving Banksy G dead shortly after, riddled with bullets. After the murder of Banksy G, the police began to take notice on the criminal activity that was predominant in North Holland, Liberty City Police Department began to create there most infamous and well-known operations to date titled; OPERATION G-DOWN. For the next two years LCPD and East Holland precinct began to collect as much data on the local street gang, finding surveillance tapes, rap videos, internet disses, and much more that incriminated themselves. In 2014 they started to make arrests. From March 23, 2014, to August 16, 2014, the East Holland precinct made around 130 arrests on G-Town Gangster Disciples members and affiliates including most of the gang's highest ranks which included sergeants, lieutenants, and even the active Major, crippling GTGD as an organization as a whole. News began to spread and made active members hide away from the police, making G-TOWN a much lesser force criminally. Any active members of the faction began to calm themselves down and started to move much more tactically, having plans of moving forward through the prison system and into the street like in the early 90s. From 2014 to 2016, G-TOWN Gangster Disciples were classified as defunct and are now longer active in North Holland which wasn't true. GTGD now operated as a prison gang, harboring African Americans who didn't affiliate with a gang and took them under protection in the prison systems. Active GTGD members who were still active amongst the ranks were creating elaborate plans on trafficking drugs into ASCF, making GTGD a source in the system to provide drugs to the other inmates. Though the faction was practically inactive in the streets, they continued through the prisons until 2017. With North Holland not having the heavy influence of the GTGD, the streets slowly started to become more populated of small street gangs of around a dozen members usually. Three main gangs now operated in North Holland which was the remanence of G-Town Gangster Disciples (GTGD), Murder Park Mafia (MPM) and Aim on Point (AOP). With the three gangs operating under the same roof, they quickly became friendly to avoid bloodshed in North Holland. In 2017 the three street gangs combined into one and was the creation of the Aim to Murder (ATM) and was an umbrella faction to the G-Town Gangster Disciples that now operated heavily in prison. Members of ATM are known to rock orange, blue and black, with the collective tying the blue and orange flags around a black flag to signify the alliance and the connection to each respective gang. The creation of ATM had been given blessing from the General of GTGD, Eric Thompson and made Aim to Murder an umbrella group under G-Town Gangster Disciples. In 2018, some members of ATM began to make music though the most famous of them all was known as ATM G Slick. G Slick also known as Kendrick Brenard was born at Holland Hospital in 2001. He was born and raised in THE 1440 which was controlled by 1440 Deathvalley Gang, a clique amongst GTGD, and was an active member of G-Town Gangster Disciples at the age of 11. G Slick carried GD with his life and was dissing the opps very often and was known for being the first to claim his set and town on the internet. In 2017, Kendrick picked up a mic and started to rap over free sample beats on YouTube. Kendrick at this point was already an active member of ATM and was repping it in his raps and on social media. G Slick was famous for his music videos which consisted of ATM members toting guns, dancing, and throwing gang signs at the camera for a music video in North Holland. Most notable music video was posted on YouTube titled "ATM G Slick - GET BACK ft. ATM Husla6x X ATM Headshot3x X 1440 Queso '' which consisted of ATM and GTGD members dissing their rivals dead opps that operated in East Holland known as Young Sniper Boyz (YSB). In the music video members of ATM were pointing weapons from Glocks to HK416's with laser sights and other weapon attachments, members throwing up gang signs that relate to ATM and then posted outside Westminster Towers and G-LANE a/k/a Uranium Street. The video racked up around 1 million views and had been going viral which then began the rapping feud in the Holland area. While the rapping feuds were continuing to go from back and forth with rappers known as YSB Zah, YSB Ego and most famously YSB 556, homicides were being committed for both sides of the gangs. On July 5th, 2019, YSB member and known rapper YSB Zah was shot and killed right outside a deli that was posted in one of his videos in broad daylight. The surveillance cameras show a man in all black hoodie with all white retro 4 Jordans on carrying a Glock 19 with a blue laser beam attachment and YSB Zah being gunned down with civilians running. In the video it shows the first shot hit Zah straight in the head and his body immediately collapses, then the masked gunman stands over him and shows four more shots go off, 1 in the neck and 3 in the torso. The video began to circulate through social media while ATM members were posting it while they clowned on Zah and was sending disrespectful messages to other YSB members. The internet quickly started to investigate the murder and noticed that G Slick was wearing the same white retro 4s and was toting the same pistol with the blue beam on his other hit song "BODYBAGS ft. 1440 Queso" where they were talking about flocking on members of YSB. The death of Zah left members of YSB disheartened and saddened but were seeking revenge and wanted retaliation. Not even 3 days later, G Slick made a song called "HASHTAG" and was talking about the death of Zah and disrespecting him with the iconic lyric "Blue beam on his head, now he a hashtag (Zah Zah)" while being on three-point street (Galveston Ave) which was being sung by 700k people within 4 days of releasing the song. YSB members quickly retaliated with their own murder on July 13th, 2019. 1:36 am on Wardite Street, three men open fired into a black sedan from a white SUV at a stoplight. Inside the vehicle was G Slick, 1440 Queso, K-Money ATM, and a 14-year-old boy known as Jay Feisty. Weapons used during the hit were automatic rifles and handguns, and police reported around 145 shots were let off and hit all occupants in the vehicle leaving three dead and one in critical condition. Jay Feisty, K-Money, and Queso were fatally murdered, with each having up to a dozen gunshot wounds, G Slick was left in critical condition having survived the massacre, made a full recovery in Holland Hospital. Unfortunately, in 2021 G Slick was found dead in a taxi after two teenagers walked up and fired into the vehicle. The first shot hit G Slick in the head, leaving him lifeless immediately then multiple shots let out after hitting him again in the head, neck and torso. Surveillance was released from the dash cam of the taxi driver that had the whole scene played out on video but is too gruesome for public viewing without viewers discretion. Having YSB members dissing the death of G Slick and others in their music videos. The battle between YSB and ATM continues to cause bloodshed in Upper Algonquin, with both going back and forth in retaliation. Between 2021 and 2022, both gangs have dwindled in numbers due to the homicides and police actively incarcerating members of both gangs which has fortunately calmed the beef between the two. Westminster Towers, also known as 974 or BIG 3 amongst the locals is the hotspot for gang affiliates of Aim to Murder a/k/a ATM who have actively been participating in all sorts of illegal activities ranging from prostitution, trafficking of guns and drugs, to even homicide. With the bloody battle against Young Sniper Boyz (YSB) and Aim to Murder (ATM) it has made the community of North Holland terrified for their lives with locals being reported of catching strays and dying from injuries. In 2022, most locals of North Holland were a mixture of African American or Hispanic American due to the influx of Hispanic communities moving into Upper Algonquin in the 1990s. Aim to Murder (ATM) operate as an umbrella faction of G-Town Gangster Disciples who mostly operate through the prison system. ATM Members are known to rock black with the occasional orange and blue due to the alliance with Aim on Point and Murder Park Mafia in 2017. Many members of ATM live across North Holland, and still operate G-Town GD's cliques such as 3 Headshots Gang and 1440 Deathvalley Gang that were notorious in the 2000s. North Holland has changed multiple times, but the community still stands with gangs operating inside the area. It's known that members of ATM range from 14 to 25 and have multiple incarcerated members who operate with GTGD inside Alderney State Correctional Facility. Eric Thompson leads ATM in the shadows while inside prison, they continue their reign in the streets of Holland with current Major, ATM Travy Caine.
