‘Trick Love the Kids Street' coming to Miami-Dade as rap songs added to county map
Chase Dis Money Street won official county recognition on Tuesday as Miami-Dade commissioners endorsed a plan designed to bring some musical buzz to a Liberty City neighborhood. After being blocked two weeks ago, Commissioner Keon Hardemon secured the votes needed to rename two dozen streets after songs by famous artists from the Miami area. That includes naming a portion of Northwest 69th Street as Still the Baddest Street, a reference to rapper Trina, and part of Northwest 64th Street as I Deserve It All Street after a song by Ball Greezy. Hardemon's proposal to bring mostly rap and hip-hop lyrics to a cluster of downtrodden streets around Northwest 18th Avenue received national media attention after fellow commissioners blocked the plan on March 4. 'We need to try something dramatic to really change the neighborhood,' he said. 'People in these communities take music very seriously.' This time around, Peace in Da Hood Street and Big Money Baller Street passed on a 9-to-3 vote. 'This item will bring more culture to Miami,' Commissioner Marleine Bastein said before the vote backing Hardemon's legislation on county streets north of the city. 'We want a place that is always sizzling. That is vibrant and dynamic.' Commissioner Kevin Cabrera did not attend the meeting. Voting against were Anthony Rodriguez, the commission chair, and Commissioners Juan Carlos Bermudez and Danielle Cohen Higgins. 'I just can't buy into the vision,' Cohen Higgins said after the vote. Commissioner Eileen Higgins joined the yes side after Hardemon agreed to her one demand: drop the plan to rename a side street Grind with Me Terrace. 'I did read the lyrics,' she said. ''Grind' doesn't mean 'work.' It means what we think it means.' Hardemon swapped out 'Grind with Me' for 'People Change' for a portion of 68th Terrace, withdrawing tribute to the Pretty Ricky song for a song by another Miami artist, Jacki-O. Like most pieces of legislation honoring people with street names, the Hardemon item doesn't replace the existing designations on the county map. Instead, the song-themed names will be added to the existing names. Multiple residents spoke up for the proposal, including a main property owner in the 18th Avenue area, Broadway Cuthbert Harewood Jr. 'People are going to come from all over the world to take their picture on It's Your Birthday Street,' Harewood said after the vote. The Hardemon legislation adds that song title by Luther Campbell to a portion of Northwest 70th Street. Commissioner René Garcia voted against the street plan two weeks ago, but he said he was comfortable with Hardemon's item after members of the public had a chance to speak about the issue. 'Even though I'm not a big fan of some of the lyrics in those songs, who am I to stand in the way?' Garcia said. Here is a list of the street name additions approved by the passing of Hardemon's item: In the area between Northwest 18th and 19th Avenues: City Girls Street on Northwest 63rd Street Soul Ties Street on Northwest 64th Street Post & Delete Street on Northwest 65th Street Chase Dis Money Street on Northwest 66th Street Born N Raised Street on Northwest 67th Street Big Money Baller Street on Northwest 68th Street We the Best Terrace on Northwest 68th Terrace Still Da Baddest Street on Northwest 18th Avenue Trick Love the Kids Street on Northwest 69th Terrace It's Your Birthday Street on Northwest 70th Street Bad Boys Bad Boys Street on Northwest 71st Street In the area between Northwest 18th Avenue and the city boundary of Miami: Welcome to the MIA Terrace to Northwest 62nd Terrance I Luv My Dawgs Street on Northwest 63rd Street I Deserve It All Street on Northwest 64th Street Closer to My Dreams Street on Northwest 65th Street Tunnel Vision Street on Northwest 66th Street Welcome to My House Street on Northwest 67th Street You Go Girl Street on Northwest 68th Street People Change Terrace on Northwest 68th Terrace Lovers and Friends Street on Northwest 69th Street Peace in Da Hood Street on Northwest 69th Terrace Run Da Yard Street on Northwest 70th Street No Pain, No Gain Street on Northwest 71st Street
