⛓️ RARE NYC STREET HISTORY! 🔥
This late 1970s–early 1980s photograph features members and friends of the Crazy Bishops, a New York City street organization originally out of Brooklyn, N.Y.
The Crazy Bishops also established a division in Times Square, Manhattan — “The Deuce” — during the late 1970s. Their colors were remembered as black rockers with white lettering, or the reverse, with that unmistakable Black Bishop Cross as the center patch.

👀 Look closely at this photograph: the fashion, denim, rockers, Bishop patch, afro hairstyles and boom box capture an unmistakable piece of classic New York City street culture.
NYC also had other organizations using “Crazy” in their names, including the Crazy Homicides, Crazy Ones, and others.

🔥 RARE HARLEM, MANHATTAN N.Y. STREET HISTORY FROM THE 1970s! ✊🏿
This rare photograph features a member of the legendary Harlem Turks standing beneath their insignia painted on a Harlem project wall.
Before becoming the Harlem Turks in 1972, the organization was originally known as the King Falcons during the late 1960s. The Harlem Turks also had a female division known as the Harlem Turkettes.

Their colors were commonly green rockers with black lettering, although some members wore white rockers with black lettering, like the rare example seen in this photograph.
New York City street organizations go back to at least the 1940s in Harlem — and probably earlier. These organizations were part of a much deeper NYC street history that existed generations before many people realize.
🫡 SALUTE TO HARLEM USA!
Salute to Harlem Coty, wherever he may be, and all the original Harlem Turks.

♠️ THIS IS WHAT REAL BLACK SPADES COLORS LOOKED LIKE IN 1971.
This rare 1971 newspaper photograph captures “Disco King Mario” — R.I.P. wearing his hand-drawn Black Spades colors at the historic Hoe Avenue meeting in the Bronx, N.Y.
Look closely at Mario’s jacket. 👀 On top you can see “Mine” and “Mario” handwritten into the design. These weren’t mass-produced uniforms—members created and personalized their own colors, which is why no two original Black Spades jackets looked exactly alike.

The Black Spades, originally founded in the late 1960s, became one of the major 1970s Bronx street organizations and expanded throughout NYC.
And Mario wasn’t only a Black Spade—Disco King Mario was also a local DJ from the Bronxdale section of the Bronx. 🎧🔥 The Black Spades had DJs, athletes and even professional boxers among their members.
Mario and other Black Spades—including their Warlord “Bam Bam”—were present at the legendary 1971 Hoe Avenue peace meeting.
So when you see those modern, made-to-look-vintage “Black Spades MC vests,” remember the originals tell a very different story. 😂♠️

R.I.P. Disco King Mario. Salute to the Black Spades.

😮 RARE 1970s BRONX STREET HISTORY —
This photograph features a member of the BLACK ASSASSINS 6th Division, a Bronx, N.Y. street organization from the 180th Street area that apparently established multiple divisions.

But the history surrounding the Black Assassins takes an extremely disturbing turn.
According to a NYC newspaper article dated May 12, 1973, young members were accused of killing a reported young Black Spades member and then attempting to cut out his heart with a broken glass bottle. 😳

In 26 YEARS of researching New York City street organizations, this remains one of the most morbid stories I have ever encountered.
🔥 Do YOU remember the Black Assassins?
🔥 Have you ever heard this story before?
🔥 Were they really considered that extreme in the Bronx?

ONE NAME. MULTIPLE NYC BOROUGHS. A HISTORY MANY PEOPLE HAVE NEVER HEARD. 7️⃣✊🏽⚡️

Who were the SEVEN IMMORTALS, and how far did their influence reach during the Nineteen Seventies?

In this powerful 2-minute, 50-second King Klast Archives mini-documentary, we revisit a chapter of Classic NY Street Gangs and NYC Street History through striking images, distinctive jackets, emblems, and accounts of an organization whose story stretched beyond one neighborhood.

From The Bronx to Coney Island, Brooklyn, from Hollis and Astoria, Queens, to the streets of Manhattan near Columbus Circle, this is a story of divisions, leadership, neighborhood identity, and New York City street culture.

What was the significance of the 14th Division? Why were different divisions associated with different neighborhoods? And what do the surviving images and stories tell us?

WATCH UNTIL THE VERY END. The final images are part of a much bigger historical conversation.

🚨 EAST NEW YORK, BROOKLYN — I NEED YOUR HELP WITH THIS ONE.

This extremely rare mid-to-late 1970s photograph, courtesy of the Frank Santangelo Archives, features members of the LOVE GODS, a predominantly Black street organization from East New York, Brooklyn, N.Y.
Very little documented information has survived about the Love Gods. Based on my research, I believe there may have been connections to the 5%ers and/or influence from their teachings, but I want the people who were actually there to help document this history correctly.

🔥 EAST NY — DO YOU REMEMBER THE LOVE GODS?
Who founded them?
When did the Love Gods begin?
How long were they active?
What blocks or projects did they represent?
Were they connected to the 5%ers?
Do you recognize any of these members?
🏢 Can you identify the buildings in the background?
This may be one of the very few surviving photographs documenting their existence, and preserving it would not have been possible without the late Frank Santangelo — R.I.P.
🗣️ Let’s get the Love Gods history RIGHT and CORRECT. If you lived in East New York during the 1970s and remember them, drop your memories, names, dates and corrections in the comments.

📲 SHARE THIS SHORT EVERYWHERE ONLINE. Somebody from 1970s East New York may recognize these men, those buildings, or remember the Love Gods firsthand.

🔥 RARE SPANISH HARLEM HISTORY — THE IMPERIAL SPARTANS! 🔥

This rare late-1970s magazine photograph features members of the Spanish Harlem, Manhattan, N.Y. street organization known as the Imperial Spartans, acting out a scene for a New York City newspaper magazine feature. 👀
Led by Panther — R.I.P., the Imperial Spartans reportedly established approximately four divisions in their neighborhood. In 1977, a NYC newspaper magazine spread documented the club through numerous photographs, preserving a piece of New York street history that is mostly forgotten today.

But LOOK at this photograph! 🔥 The clothes, hairstyles, jackets, bell-bottoms and unmistakable 1970s NYC fashion tell a story all by themselves.
And yeah… 👀 I KNOW YOU SEE WHAT THEY GOT IN THEIR HANDS!
Spanish Harlem during this period was home to numerous street organizations, including the Renigades Of Harlem, Spanish Kings — Manhattan Division, Savage Samurais, Justice Of Manhattan, and the Imperial Spartans.

🔥 RARE 1970s NEW YORK CITY STREET HISTORY!

This newspaper photograph captures a member of the legendary SEVEN IMMORTALS, a Bronx, N.Y. street organization originally founded in 1971 by Victor Diamond — RIP.
The Seven Immortals became one of the Bronx heavyweight organizations of the 1970s and expanded throughout all five boroughs of NYC. Their membership was multi-ethnic, including Black, Puerto Rican, White, Italian and Greek members — particularly within their Astoria, Queens divisions.

⚡ Their unmistakable colors featured white rockers with black lettering, while the center patch displayed a “7,” a yellow lightning bolt and a raised fist.
👀 DID YOU KNOW? Before becoming a music mogul, Russell Simmons was the Warlord of the Young Immortals division in Hollis, Queens, N.Y.
The Seven Immortals also had a 14th Division in Coney Island, Brooklyn, led by Blue — RIP, while a predominantly Black Bronx division appeared briefly during a 1970s television segment dealing with false-alarm fires in the Bronx.
