Hip-Hop To Take Over Street (Signs) In Miami

Some Liberty City blocks will be renamed to honor lyrics and songs by Trina, Trick Daddy, Flo Rida, Pitbull, and others.


Several  streets in the Liberty City neighborhood of Miami will be renamed in honor of some iconic area stars and songs connected to the area’s rich history of hip-hop.

According to The Miami Herald, a proposal by District 3 Commissioner Keon Hardemon to the Miami-Dade County Commission was approved March 18 to rename several streets in Liberty City after some Miami hip-hop legends’ song titles and/or phrases from recognizable songs.

The renaming of the streets will take place along 18th Avenue in the famed neighborhood.

“This item will bring more culture to Miami,” Commissioner Marleine Bastein said. “We want a place that is always sizzling. That is vibrant and dynamic.”

The streets are not being completely renamed but given alternate names to refer to those blocks.

“We need to try something dramatic to really change the neighborhood,” Hardemon said. “People in these communities take music very seriously.”

Some of the artists attributed to Liberty City include Trina and Trick Daddy, Flo Rida, Pitbull, Rick Ross, Uncle Luke, the City Girls, and even Betty Wright.
