¿Tú eres paisa o chequeo?
Context: teenager being interrogated about his affiliation with a gang. A "paisa" seems to be a member whereas a "chequeo" seems to be a new recruit in this case. What are some of the relative equivalents used in American gangs?
Thank you very much!

Not sure, it is wild card.
Note from asker:
| You're actually right! I was mistaken and it turns out "paisa" is someone who isn't affiliated, "chequeo" is a new recruit undergoing initiation and "homeboy" is a full member. |
