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.[1][3][4] Their current enemies also include 6 and ABG (Anybody Gets It).[5][1] The current leader of Rasta City is "Prezzi".[1]
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
