The '''Southside Hoods''' are a set of prominent African-American gangs in [[Shoreside Vale]], [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]]. They are comprised of the '''Red Jacks''' and '''Purple Nines''', both rival gangs. In [[Grand Theft Auto III]], the latter is known to have supplied the [[SPANK]] drug on local streets. The Red Jacks are a small scale street gang headed by [[D-Ice]]. Most of their missions provided in GTA III involve crippling Purple Nines activities. For instance D-Ice tells Claude to do a [[Uzi Money|drive-by]] on the Nines and [[Toyminator|destroy Securicars filled with SPANK]]. For this the Nines attempt to [[Rigged to Blow (GTA III)|destroy D-Ice's car]]. Eventually, the Purple Nines would be extinct, with their remaining members defeated in a [[Rumble|mêlée battle]]. | The '''Southside Hoods''' are a set of prominent African-American gangs in [[Shoreside Vale]], [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]].

The GTA III rendition of Southside Hoods members wear jackets of either red or purple, depending on which side they belong to, but are not seen attacking each other on the streets. When a Red Jack is attacked, any nearby Purple Nines will rush to assist the gang member who is being assaulted; the same holds true in reverse. This is also suggested when D-Ice warned that Red Jacks would believe that they will also be shot at when they witness Purple Nines being killed by the player. | The GTA III rendition of Southside Hoods members wear jackets of either red or purple, depending on which side they belong to, but are not seen attacking each other on the streets.
