Rasta City Explained

Rasta City, also called Seven or 7, is a gang in Trinidad and Tobago.^{[1] [2] [3] [4]} Their main rival used to be Muslim City, but after a falling out between some Rasta City members, a split occurred, leading to the formation of Sixx/6ixx/6 and Seven, the latter of which is now called Rasta City.^{[3] [4]} Their current enemies also include 6 and ABG (Anybody Gets It).^[5] The current leader of Rasta City is "Prezzi".

In July 2019, Rasta City leader Akini "Dole" Adams was killed during a police raid in Sea Lots.^{[6] [7]}

In the summer of 2019, musicians Marlon Asher (Marlon Sobers), Izac King (Shaquille Selkridge) and Orlando Octave released a single named "UniTTy" calling for both sides of the war to learn the truth of their faiths and end their gangland killings.^[8]

Rasta City also known as 7 still hasn't agreed to a peace deal
