๐ฅ Rare restored 1976 photo of the Latin Soul Brothers from Jamaica, Queens, N.Y. โ one of the many forgotten 1970โs NYC street clubs that proved Queens had street gangs long before most people talk about it.
The Latin Soul Brothers were a multi-ethnic Jamaica Queens club with South American roots, rocking black & orange colors, and their graffiti reportedly stayed up for years in the 70โs.
Queens had street gangs since the 1950โs and probably earlier, including homegrown clubs and divisions of Bronx gangs.
Salute to Adolfo and any remaining LSB out there. Respect to the real Queens history. โซ๏ธ๐
๐ Watch to the end, drop โLSBโ in the comments, and share this everywhere online so this lost NYC street history never gets buried again.

๐ธ RARE RESTORED PHOTO from the King Klast Archives showing members of The Dukes from Williamsburg, Brooklyn, N.Y. during the late 1970โs to early 1980โs.
This was that raw Brooklyn outlaw street gang style before the motorcycle club era โ cuts, rockers, bandannas, Puma sneakers, MC boots, and that unmistakable Williamsburg night energy.
A lot of people think every NYC gang member dressed the same, but this photo shows the real details: some wore sneakers with their cuts, some wore boots, and some mixed the whole street gang look of the times.
The Dukes later progressed from a Williamsburg street gang into a motorcycle club, but this photo captures the original street-era roots.
Salute to Jay & Jenny Dukes and all remaining Dukes. RIP to UncleSoul, Cheo, Jordan Dukes, and all the others no longer here. ๐ฏ๏ธ

Yes, Manhattan had White street gangs in the 1970โs.
This digitally recreated vest represents the Budweiser Boys, an Upper Manhattan, N.Y. street gang listed on a partial NYPD Street Gangs list from 1970โ1978.
It is believed this club wore T-shirts with their gang name, but if they ever had patches, they may have looked something like this recreated vest.
Anyone out there remember the Budweiser Boys from Manhattan?
How long were they out?
What was their turf?
Did they wear T-shirts, patches, or colors?
Who remembers seeing their name in the streets?

This rare restored photo shows Black & Puerto Rican members of the legendary Savage Skulls on a normal Bronx, N.Y. day in the 1970โs.
Formed in 1966 when 2 rival gangs merged, then officially becoming the Savage Skulls in 1969, this infamous Bronx street organization spread across NYC into every borough โ including Staten Island โ and even expanded outside New York.
Photos like this show what Bronx gang life really looked like in the 70โs: denim vests, street presence, neighborhood identity, and survival in the raw streets of New York City.
Salute to the Savage Skulls for their longevity as a street organization โ still here in 2026. They never became an M.C.
Watch from start to end, comment your borough, and share this everywhere online so this history doesnโt disappear. ๐ฅ

๐ฅ This rare restored 1980โs photo captures members of the Hartford, Connecticut โGestapoโ Division of the Savage Nomads โ the Bronx, N.Y. street gang that expanded into Connecticut in the mid-1970โs and remained active for decades.
The โGestapoโ divisions were known as the hardcore enforcers inside the Savage Nomads, regulating rule breakers and holding down the gangโs laws. Connecticut street history also connects the Savage Nomads and Ghetto Brothers inside the prison system, where it is said they joined forces to form ๐ญ Los Solidos โ โThe Solid Ones,โ with ๐ด red representing the Savage Nomads and ๐ต blue representing the Ghetto Brothers.
And donโt forget the women. In many classic street gangs, women were down by law โ fighting alongside the men, protecting members, and sometimes hiding the weaponry. These women were the backbone of street history.
This is REAL Hartford, Connecticut street history โ brought to you by Classic NY Street Gangs aka The King Klast ยฎ Archives.

๐บ๐ธ NYC gang history goes way deeper than most people know. These digitally recreated 1970โs vests represent five forgotten or lesser-known White street organizations from New York Cityโs 1970โs era:
๐ด Ministers Bronx,
๐บ Budweiser Boys,
๐น Satanโs Reapers,
โ๏ธ Rebel Mercenaries, and
๐ก Golden Guineas.
Donโt get it twisted โ White gangs and White gang members were down by law in the 70โs and 80โs too. New York Cityโs gang history goes back to the 1800โs, long before some U.S. states were even established.
๐ฝ๏ธ This post accompanies my previous video post, so if you havenโt seen that one yet, check it out after this Short. Watch till the end so you donโt miss any of these forgotten clubs or vest recreations.

Which one have you never heard of?
Which vest recreation is fire? ๐ฅ

๐ฎ A rare restored early 1980โs NYC jail photo courtesy of โRick N Eliza Sotoโ showing a Turban Saints member from Sunset Park, Brooklyn, sitting with illegal jailhouse artwork created behind bars to represent his club.
โฌ๏ธ๐จ The Turban Saints came from the mid-to-late 1970โs Sunset Park Brooklyn scene, when two crews merged as one:
โฌ๏ธ๐ฅ The Brooklyn Saints and โฌ๏ธ๐จ The Turbans Sunset Park Division. Many NYC street gang members created hidden artwork, shirts with club logos behind bars so their names, colors, and history would still be remembered in future photos.
๐ฏ๏ธRIP Dyno โ President of The Brooklyn Saints, Turban Saints, and founder of the Rat Hunters.
๐ฏ๏ธRIP Eddie Perez โ President of The Turbans Sunset Park Division.
This is not movie fiction. This is real New York street history preserved through the King Klast Archives.
