The 580s is an African-American street gang based in the Bay Area of northern California. Hailing from the Foster Hoover Historic District of Oakland - better known as "Ghost Town" - the gang controlled the local drug trade and allied with the East Oakland "Big Time" gang for joint crime sprees. The gang once used the money obtained from drug trafficking to help the poorer communities of Oakland, and they engaged in heroin trafficking, electronics fencing, and vehicle smuggling.
