Chambers Brothers (gang)

Chambers Brothers (gang)

The Chambers Brothers were a criminal organization heavily involved in the distribution of crack cocaine in the city of Detroit, Michigan during the 1980s. The brothers became notorious nationally when the Detroit Police Department confiscated video tapes of the brothers counting their laundry baskets full of money, and flaunting their excessive wealth.

Cultural effects

In the novel Warpath, by Jeffry Scott Hansen, the street gang The Six-Mile Syndicate, is based loosely on the Chambers Brothers Gang. In the 1991 film New Jack City, the character Nino Brown is largely based on the real life Detroit gang The Chambers Brothers. Nino had also made a name for the group as "Cash Money Brothers". Also, The Chambers Brothers and family members Randy Bridgeforth, Terrance Stewart, Damion "D.D." Bridgeforth, & Anthony King, were known for having their own apartment building to move their drugs on E. Ferry Street in Detroit; in New Jack City it was known as "The Carter".
