TPL
Artist
TPL is a drill collective/gang hailing from the Turnpike Lane and Ducketts Common areas in Northern London.
TPL was created through the merger of two local ethnic street gangs during the mid 2000s.
The local Somali gangs were known as ‘North London Somalis’ (NLS), and the ‘Young Militant Somalis’ (YMS), as well as the ethnically Albanian gangs such as Albanian Young Gunners (AYG), Young Albanian Gangsters' (YAG) and ‘Real Albanian Gangsters’ (RAG).
One side would represent the Somalis that control their gang (DC8), and the other would represent the Albanian controlled gang (OTP/SmokeSquad). Both of these gangs are ethnically diverse.
In the late 2010s, the two TPL sets would start to come into conflict and are now rivals.
This page is representing the DC8 set. Their members are mainly drawn from the N8 postcode area. Despite that most of the members are Somalis, there are also a minority of Jamaican, African, and Albanian GMs.
They are loosely affiliated with NPK, and AP/Skengfield, as they have Somali members within them. They’re also calm with Hornsey.
They beef with OFB, N15 (Tiverton and Ida), OTP (TPL15-22/SmokeSquad), WoodGreen/22, Edmonton area (N9, 3x3 and AFG), and more recently West London’s 156 and Camden’s AGB, both resulting from a feud between the controversial rapper AbzSav (RCG/156) and Haych (TPL).
Notable members include:
- Jojo
- O'Mizz
- TD
- Haych
