Supreme Team (gang)
The Supreme Team was a crack cocaine gang that operated throughout the 1980s in New York City. Their headquarters was in a Jamaica, Queens housing project known as the Baisley Park Houses.[1] However they controlled a huge chunk of the entire city itself, including Harlem. The leader was Kenneth "Supreme" McGriff and his nephew, Gerald Miller, nicknamed "Prince". In 1989, thanks to the work of a high-ranking informant, the Team was disbanded, and McGriff spent 10 years in a federal prison for a narcotics conviction.[2] The Supreme Team was depicted in the movie New Jack City with Nino Brown as Supreme, and Supreme was also depicted in 50 Cent's movie Get Rich or Die Tryin, in which he portrayed Majestic.
