A crew formed two years ago in Denver Colorado. Composed primarily of Blacks and Hispanics, though there are occasionally White members, all races are accepted. Each member has somewhat of a rank, though the entire crew is more like a family, if needed the higher ranking members can command the lower ranking members. Unlike other street
crews, you do not apply to
be a member of the Royals, the Royals chose you; and they only choose what they consider to be the best. To be a
Royal you have to have two things. The first is a specific
skill set you specialize in that they can use to their advantage. The second is to be determined. The Royals will observe potential members for an
undisclosed amount of time, usually watching for examples of bravery, or other unspecified characteristics that deem the potential member worthy in their eyes.
Because of
the selection process, the Royals is composed of people from a very diverse background including: One time members of other street crews, drug dealers,
smugglers, fighters,
DJ's, performing artists, and even computer hackers. The Royals are NOT a gang, and are not focused on getting their name on the streets. They don't tag buildings, they don't dress according to a specific color.
The Royals remain primarily underground, and any feuds with local street gangs is unknown. The actual operations of the Royals are also unknown, bringing question to the purposes of having such a diverse and exclusive membership.
