TAP Boyz


The TAP Boyz, was a Chicago-based Arab American street gang or self-described "movement" formed on the corner of W 63rd St and S Kedzie Ave Street in 1992.
It was formed in response to anti-Arab sentiment from rival gangs. The movement's goal was to protect the Arab-American community from racially motivated assaults precipitated by the Second Gulf War. Their gang colors were white and red and their gang symbol was a four pointed star.
