A Denver based Gang founded in the mid 2010's. Used to be called the "Royal 7," or "R7" for the original seven founding members. Five of the Seven original members have died through violent clashes over the years. Originally known for drug trafficking and and arms sales, they eventually got into prescription drug sales and sex workers as well when they became a Crip set in 2013.
Members wear Royal blue or sometimes purple. OGs will have "R7," seven pointed star, or seven tally marks as tattoos to denote their original heritage. Today there's approximately 150 members along Colfax, Five Points, and North Park Hill neighborhood, but more have been speculated throughout the metro area and Aurora.
The Denver East Side Royals are one of the most violent gangs in Colorado.
