Berlin Crime

Machine-translated from the German article

Berlin Crime (BC) is an association of various Berlin hip-hop activists founded in 1997. The Berlin group Berlin Crime was formed in February 1997 when co-founder Arye Sharuz "BossARO" Shalicar named it, through a merger of graffiti writers from various Graffiti gangs in different Berlin districts with the ambition of becoming the largest gang in Berlin. Starting with about 10 members, Berlin Crime at times reached up to 150 members and attracted immense attention both in the Berlin cityscape through large-scale bombings and in the media through vandalism and rioting.
