The '''Yardies''', sometimes known unofficially as the '''Hillside Posse''', operate out of the [[Schottler]]/[[Beechwood City]] area of [[Broker]], [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]]. They are first seen in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]. They are based on the real life [[wp:Jamaican Posse|Jamaican Posse]] of [[wp:New York City|New York City]].
The '''Jamaicans''' in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]] operate out of the [[Schottler]]/[[Beechwood City]] area of [[Broker]], [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]]. They are based on the real life [[wp:Jamaican posse|Jamaican posse]] in [[wp:New York City|New York City]].


The gang is led by [[Real Badman]], a respected Jamaican gangster, and they deal mostly in cannabis and firearms. They have a concentrated presence in a [[Dukes]] apartment complex, but they operate largely from the [[Homebrew Café]] in Beechwood City, Broker.

The gang frequently clashes with other drug dealers in Dukes and Broker, and employs hired guns like Niko Bellic to assist in these matters; additionally, Russian gangsters at one point attempted to intimidate Badman, hoping to absorb the Yardies’ operations; Badman responded by murdering the gang, with Niko's aid.

Yardies are [[wp:Rastafari movement|Rastafarians]]; they speak [[wp:Iyaric|Iyaric]], frequently smoke marijuana, and wear their hair in dreadlocks. They can be seen wearing brightly colored suits or army fatigues, and some wear Rasta [[wp:Tam (cap)|tams]], which is a sign of rudeboys style. They are well-armed, most members carrying [[Pistol|pistols]], or occasionally a [[Knife|knife]] or [[Baseball Bat|baseball bat]]. Their cars are painted in the colors of the Jamaican flag: green, black, and gold. They can be found in the Beechwood City region, particularly the Homebrew Café, and have a presence in neighboring [[Schottler]] and [[Willis]] as well.

If Niko is engaged in a fist-fight outside the Homebrew Café, Yardies will aid him. The same goes when a gun is fired on the [[Schottler Medical Center]].
