In the 1980s, the Supreme Team was the most well-known, prolific and feared drug-dealing organization on the east coast, operating out of the Baisley Park Projects in Queens, New York. The gang was started by Kenny (Supreme) McGriff at the beginning of the crack era and eventually swelled to include hundreds of workers, dealers and enforcers. At its peak, the Supreme Team was clearing hundreds of thousands of dollars a day in sales.
By the early 1990s though, the group was gone, dismantled via federal indictments and the incarceration of most of its members. But decades later, the legacy the “Team” and its leaders and major players created, has endured, cementing them as genuine underworld icons.
Let’s take a look at how the organization was structured:
