The Ballas have been around for more than 25 years. They're one of Los Santos' many gangs that arose in the 1970's dope trade. With many attempts and struggles to work their way to the top, they’ve always crept down back in the darkness. One day Leon Black and Tyrone Bell moved into the city with a Ballas past from their origin city wanting to continue to wear the purple color. One day meeting up with Adriana Costa and sharing their intentions the group realized that Ballas are ready to come back. With Adriana’s and Stephnie’s past with Ballas in Los Santos and Leon’s and Tyrone's experience from other cities, they all decided to use their knowledge to create the Front Yard Ballas. With a clean sheet, they will be able to create a new meaning for Ballas in Los Santos.
Ballas was wiped in the current state of the city. Spread thin two separate Balla sets came together and attempted to reform Ballas to its former glory. With Grove Street Families laid claim to Grove the 4 set leaders hat met up. Grove, arrogant about their position never could have imagined the formation of FYB. Tyrone, Leon, Adriana and Stephania all met at a discrete location. An agreement was struck and Front Yard Ballas was born. The city was about to witness the resurgence of the greatest street gang.
FYB started recruiting new blood and they planned attacks on Grove Street Families. The first attack was successful and saw several leading figured of the family dead. The family crumbled after and it was not much of a fight. Ballas, the victors and new tenants at the Grove Street. Word had spread Los Santos. Ballas Back. Ballas sought out other like-minded individuals and the Balla boys grew stronger.
With the resurgence of Ballas, it had drawn in a lot of attention. Amongst those were a group of criminal organisations that went by "The Council" which had consisted of the Irish Mob, Los Zetas and The Clowns. They had requested a gang meetup with the head ballas. Ballas accepted and an agreement was struck, Ballas would stay natural with the council while assisting them in their endeavours. A few months passed and Ballas was in full swing. Racketeering, drug trafficking, selling on the streets as well as making friends along the way.
A new system was rumoured and a civil war broke out between the council. The Irish Mob had declared war on The Clowns. Supposed to be a 1v1, Irish broke the agreement and Wanted became involved. Due to this, Los Zetas stepped in and assisted The Clowns. Ballas, had decided not to pick sides as this war had nothing to do with them. The Clowns has told Ballas we owe them 500,000 dollars every month. This was unacceptable and Ballas declared war on The Clowns.
It did not last long and the clowns disbanded, The war ended with Wanted pulling out and Irish reforming into the now Rooks. Tyrone had friends in Irish who flew out of town or switched over to The Rooks. Tyrone, contacting his old Irish friends set up a deal with The Rooks with a new gang who had come into town. Seaweed. Ballas, became close friends and formed an alliance with seaweed. Ballas, Rooks and Seaweed agreed we would help each other if in-need.
With the new state of criminal activity in the city, a new council was formed. Zetas and Triads who would grow to become close friends. Ballas disconnected from the council while it rebuilt itself thrived for years to come. There was an incident with the Police and Grove had become heavily suppressed by police brutality. The leaders of Ballas imprisoned with lack-lustre evidence saw Ballas go into the shadows.
Ballas watched by as their close friends Seaweed were pummelled into the ground by the new council. There was nothing that could have been done. Tyrone, Leon, Adriana and Stephania finished their long sentence. The state of the city had changed entirely. The rise of new gangs such as Novo Los Aztecas, West Coast Assassins, Misfits, The Vory Mafia and The Russian Mafia had risen. Ballas had no standings with these gangs so they reached out.
Ballas struck a friendship with Novo Los Aztecas and Misfits. A friendship that would prove to be something truly unique. Ballas agreed on naturality with WCA and had agreed to help in the fight against the Russians. NLA had invited Ballas to hunt Vory with them, Ballas accepted to help their new found best friends. Unknowingly Ballas had just entered into a bloody war that would see the killings of many of their dear friends and blood. Vory had called in their friends, WCA who Ballas had agreed naturality with. Ballas, NLA and Misfits confused as to why they had entered did not question.
A bloody war took place over several months and word was given to Tyrone by the council that if we stayed in the war, the council was going to hit all of us. Tyrone sought peace with WCA after this news and they had struck an agreement. Ballas, pulled out and there was tension as to why Ballas did this with NLA and Misfits. It had damaged their friendship which would be a wound for a long time. Ballas and Misfits had a small rivalry after this but ultimately was squashed.
Misfits exited the war and it was NLA v WCA & Vory. The council declared war on Vory and it became NLA v WCA for the most part. It was a bloody war for both of them in which we respected. Ballas, secretly had full support of NLA and voiced their support for them. After several months of war the council intervened and said it was time to end the war between them. A big meetup with all the gangs was called and it ended up being a lecture for NLA and WCA.
Their war ended and Ballas voiced their congratulations to NLA. Shortly after a new tax was introduced. The "Drug Tax" which only saw a few months. Ballas struggling with police constantly arresting them for clear racial discrimination struggled. The law was clamping down hard on them and Ballas voiced their opinion to the council. What was supposed to be an informative meeting turned into a bloody war between Ballas and Zetas. It was short and Zetas did not consider it a war. After this, the council scrapped taxes altogether and started hitting everyone but NLA and WCA.
Ballas had made contact with Misfits and Rooks and talked about this. Ballas, wanted to win back the approval of the council and tries to remain natural in a time where it does not seem possible. Ballas, rebuilding from its war with Zetas is looking to grow bigger than it ever has before. Become a power house within the city to be reckoned with.

Currently, the Front Yard Ballas is attempting to hold its grasp on Grove Street as it's headquarters. By being able too they are recruiting new blood and selling dope and racketeering as well as chopping cars to gain more money to purchase heavy guns to also re-sell and arm themselves. With their main enemy Grove Street Families being dormant as the foundation of Front Yard Ballas happens it is not as hard to hold grasp of the street. Though as it is not 25 years ago other criminal organizations may rise to contest Front Yard Ballas’ hold.
