8 Trey Mob, also known as Manny World, is a subset of the Gangster Disciples street gang primarily active around 83rd and Vernon in Chicago, Illinois. The group is notably recognized within Chicago's complex gang landscape, where gang territories are often defined by specific neighborhood blocks.
In 2013, the set experienced a significant loss when Ladarius "Don Darius" Brisco, a rapper affiliated with 8 Trey Mob, was murdered. Brisco was not only known locally for his music but also recognized as an active participant in the gang's activities and rivalries. The incident heightened tensions between rival gangs, particularly the Black Disciples subset known as MTV, which publicly claimed responsibility for Brisco's killing.
The rivalry between 8 Trey Mob and MTV reflects the broader conflict between the Gangster Disciples and Black Disciples, two major gangs that originated from a common faction, the Black Gangster Disciple Nation, but later split into opposing entities. The conflict has fueled a series of retaliations and violent confrontations that have profoundly impacted community safety and increased law enforcement focus in the affected neighborhoods.
