The Tribe Boys (or TRiBE B0Y$) are a street gang based in Ensley.

On March 8, 2008, 16-year old Richard Lewis White was ejected from a "Sweet 16" birthday party at the Bull's Eye Event Center on 1575 Bessemer Road for throwing gang signs. He returned around midnight and murdered Carmeise Bogus, who had volunteered along with his older brother to help provide security. When he approached Bogus and shot him, others chanted "Tribe Boys".

The chant "Tribe Boys" is also heard in the Throwed ENT single "'Tribe Boyz (Free B. Wells)".
