Rick Ross, Trina, & Trick Daddy Given New Miami Street Names

The South has something to say–more specifically South Florida. When talking about the South’s impact on rap music many tend to skip of Florida’s contributions. But local official sure haven’t.

Miami-Dade County Commission revealed they are naming several streets in Liberty City after musical pioneers Rick Ross, Trina, Trick Daddy, and the name disbanded City Girls.

In a statement provided to NBC6, District 3 Commissioner Keon Hardemon discussed the initiative that aims to revitalize Miami’s neighborhood Liberty City.

“If you play this music to the people who are from this area, they are going to light up like it’s the Fourth of July,” he said. “The essence of this is to encourage economic development in our community… to let people know that this exists in Miami-Dade County, and you should come and see it.”

He continued: “In the 1950s or so, during the time of segregation,18th Avenue was the place to be. It had juke joints, it had bars, it had restaurants, and it had living quarters… that’s why they named it Broadway.”

Hardemon confirmed the renamed streets are congregated around 8th Avenue. View the full list below.
