Gang Wars: 757 vs Welch World

## 757 vs Welch World

**757 vs Welch World** is a gang war in the Bronzeville neighborhood in Chicago, Illinois, between the '757' alliance, which consists of Gangster Disciples & Black Disciples, and "Welch World", a set of Black Disciples & Gangster Disciples.

This gang war would become more notable in 2023 after rapper "Tay Savage" was released from prison after serving 8 years for the murder of two 757 members, and Polo G's brother "Trench Baby" from Welch World was arrested for the Los Angeles murder of "Lil Ro" from 757.

## History

Before the '757' alliance was formed in 2013, it was originally three sets; RocNation 027, Lawless 035, and The Ave. The Ave was the set that mainly rivaled Welch World, which was originally known as "So Icy" before 2010.
