CJ and Sweet spray over Ballas' tags to reclaim Grove Street territory while dodging cops and rivals.

CJ and Ryder confront drug dealers who are corrupting Grove Street. After visiting B-Dup, they head to a crack den to eliminate the dealers and take back control. The mission involves melee combat inside the house, requiring CJ to fight off enemies before escaping with Ryder.

CJ joins Sweet, Big Smoke, and Ryder for a trip to Cluckin' Bell. On the way, they spot a Ballas car, prompting an intense drive-by shooting. CJ must chase the Ballas as Smoke clumsily eats his food instead of helping. The mission ends with Sweet praising CJ’s driving and the crew returning to Grove Street.

Big Smoke takes CJ to meet Emmet, an old-school arms dealer still loyal to Grove Street. Emmet provides CJ with a pistol to practice his shooting skills, marking his first step in handling firearms.
