🚨 DID YOU KNOW THE GHETTO BROTHERS ACTUALLY RELEASED A VINYL ALBUM IN 1972?! 🚨

These 5 authentic archival photographs take you back into the world of the legendary Ghetto Brothers — the 1970s Bronx, New York street organization whose history went far beyond the streets.

🎸 In 1972, the Ghetto Brothers released “Power-Fuerza,” an album blending Latin Funk, Rock, Soul and hard percussion-driven break sections during the same era when a new culture was developing in the Bronx.

🔥 Listen closely to tracks like:

“Ghetto Brothers Power”
“Viva Puerto Rico Libre”
“Got This Happy Feeling”

…and you’ll hear exactly why this record deserves to be discussed whenever people explore the musical environment surrounding early Bronx Hip Hop culture and break beats.

🤔 But here’s the BIG question:

Was the Ghetto Brothers’ contribution to the cultural cataclysm that eventually became HIP HOP minor… or MAJOR?

And an even bigger question…

💿 HAVE YOU EVER ACTUALLY LISTENED TO THE GHETTO BROTHERS’ 1972 ALBUM?

👀 Watch this Short all the way to the final photograph, then go watch my earlier full video about the Ghetto Brothers’ “Power-Fuerza” album and its connection to Bronx culture. There are even more photographs and Ghetto Brothers history waiting for you there.

🔥 COMMENT “🔥” IF YOU SAW ALL 5 PHOTOS!

Do you remember the Ghetto Brothers?
Did you even know this Bronx street organization had a vinyl record in the 1970s?
Which song from the album stands out to you?

🫡 Salute to the Ghetto Brothers & Sisters, and 🕯️RIP to Karate Charlie, Yellow Benji, Black Bengie and the brothers and sisters who are no longer with us. Also remembered in Ghetto Brothers history is Frankie Ruiz, later famous as a salsa singer, who was an original Ghetto Brother connected to the Paterson, New Jersey division in the early 1970s.

DID YOU KNOW a Bronx, N.Y. street organization released an album in 1972 that contained BREAK BEATS? 👀🔥

Before Hip Hop became a worldwide culture, THE GHETTO BROTHERS — a mixed Bronx, N.Y. street organization founded in the late 1960s — already had a vinyl album blending Latin Funk, Rock, Soul & Break Beats.

And it gets deeper.

📀 The album is real.
📸 The photographs are real.
🎸 They were performing LIVE outdoors in Bronx neighborhoods for crowds of different ethnicities.

So the question is…

How big of a part did the Ghetto Brothers play in the cultural chain reaction that eventually became HIP HOP?

🔥 WATCH THIS VIDEO ALL THE WAY TO THE END and decide for yourself.

Long before Hip Hop became an industry, Bronx neighborhoods were already creating their own sound, style, gatherings and street culture. The Ghetto Brothers were part of that world — combining the identity of a street organization with musicianship, community events and a rare 1972 vinyl record that still fascinates collectors and historians today.

Their story didn’t stop in New York.

The Ghetto Brothers expanded into Connecticut, including Hartford, where that raw street-culture connection continued into the 1980s.

🎤 Bronx streets.
🥁 Break beats.
🎸 Latin Funk.
📀 Rare vinyl.
🔥 NYC street-organization history.
➡️ And a connection to the culture that became Hip Hop.

Do you remember the Ghetto Brothers?

Did you even know the Ghetto Brothers had a vinyl record out in the 1970s?

And after watching the COMPLETE video:

👇 How important do YOU believe the Ghetto Brothers were to early Hip Hop culture?

Comment “🔥” if you watched the entire video and tell me WHERE YOU’RE WATCHING FROM!

SALUTE TO THE GHETTO BROTHERS & SISTERS. 🫡🔥

🕯️ RIP Karate Charlie
🕯️ RIP Yellow Benji
🕯️ RIP Black Bengie
🕯️ RIP Frankie Ruiz — the legendary salsa singer identified in the King Klast Archives research as an original Ghetto Brother connected with the Paterson, N.J. division during the early 1970s.

🔥 NYC WASN’T THE ONLY PLACE WITH OUTLAW STREET ORGANIZATIONS!

📸 This rare 1980s photo takes us straight into Springfield, Massachusetts street history — featuring a member of the legendary DEMON STRATERS wearing the organization’s colors.
During the 1970s and 1980s, the outlaw street-organization style associated with New York City also appeared throughout places like Connecticut and Massachusetts. Some New Yorkers who relocated brought that culture, style, colors and street traditions with them.
Springfield had its own collection of remembered street organizations, including the Demon Straters, Last Survivors, Latin Warriors, Spanish Lords and others.

🔴 La Familia Nation also had Springfield connections. The organization began in Sunset Park, Brooklyn in 1981, and members were traveling to—and at times hiding out in—Springfield during their early years.
There was even a Massachusetts organization known as the Crazy Homicides, which may have had connections to the NYC street-organization world, although that connection still deserves further documentation.
🙏🏻 SALUTE TO PIRATA, President of the Demon Straters, who provided this incredible piece of Massachusetts street history.
📸 Photo Courtesy of Pirata — Demon Straters

This history proves something important:
OUTLAW STREET HISTORY DIDN’T STOP AT THE NEW YORK CITY LINE. 🔥
Massachusetts had its own chapters, organizations, colors, personalities and stories that deserve to be documented.
👇 SPRINGFIELD / MASSACHUSETTS OLD-TIMERS:
Do you remember the Demon Straters or any of these other organizations?

🔥 RARE EARLY 1980s SUNSET PARK BROOKLYN STREET HISTORY! 🔥

This archival photo captures members of La Familia, the Sunset Park, Brooklyn, N.Y. street organization that began in 1981 and later became known as La Familia Nation.
According to the King Klast Archives, 6th Avenue in Sunset Park became La Familia turf after the organization’s inception. From their early days, members also traveled between Brooklyn and Springfield, Massachusetts, where some had relatives while others occasionally went to get away from situations back home.
That Brooklyn-to-Massachusetts connection was part of a much bigger NYC street-history story. During the 1970s and 1980s, several New York street organizations established connections or expanded beyond the five boroughs.

By the 1990s, five major NYC “Families” were remembered within the street scene. Of those, La Familia Nation and the Universal Zulu Nation were original organizations born in New York City, according to the history preserved in the King Klast Archives.
⚠️ And one thing needs to be remembered: NYC street organizations DID NOT simply disappear when the 1970s ended. Throughout the 1980s, organizations were still active across New York City.

🗽 SUNSET PARK BROOKLYN — STAND UP!
Do you remember La Familia? What other Sunset Park organizations from the 1970s and 1980s do you remember?

👽💀 HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF THE BRONX ALIENS?

This rare restored NYC newspaper photo captures a member of the White 1970s Bronx street organization known as the “Bronx Aliens” proudly displaying his colors for the camera.
I believe the Bronx Aliens may date back to the 1960s, and by the 1970s, White Bronx street organizations—including the Ministers Bronx, Grateful Dead, Henchmen Bronx and Bronx Aliens—were part of New York City’s street landscape.

🔥 CHECK OUT THAT EMBLEM! Skulls have appeared on the colors and imagery of numerous NYC street organizations throughout different eras.
But here’s a mystery I want the old-school NYC historians to help solve:
🏍️ There was also an “Aliens” Motorcycle Club in NYC during that period. Were they connected to the Bronx Aliens—or were they completely separate organizations?

If you were around The Bronx or NYC during the 1960s–1970s, I want to hear from you.
👇 Did you know the Bronx Aliens?
👇 Remember seeing their colors?
👇 Know anything about the Aliens Motorcycle Club connection?
Drop your memories, corrections, names, neighborhoods and firsthand history in the comments. Your information could help document another piece of forgotten NYC street history.

RARE NYC JAIL PHOTO 😳 ALL SAVAGE DEMONS | Brooklyn Street Gang History

🔥 RARE BROOKLYN STREET HISTORY — POSSIBLY ONE OF THE ONLY PHOTOS OF THE ALL SAVAGE DEMONS!
This rare late 1970s–early 1980s jail photo features a member of the Brooklyn, New York street organization known as the All Savage Demons, displaying jailhouse artwork representing his street club.
Even behind bars, members continued to represent their organizations. During the 1970s and 1980s, handmade jailhouse artwork connected to NYC street organizations became another visual piece of New York’s underground street history.

Before becoming the All Savage Demons / Savage Demons, the organization was originally known as the All Star Dancers — ASD. Like several NYC groups of that era, they reportedly transitioned from a dancing organization into an outlaw street organization. Some dancing and social clubs throughout New York followed similar paths, with certain groups eventually becoming street organizations or motorcycle clubs.
📸 This might be the only photograph of the All Savage Demons currently in the King Klast Archives.

🚨 DO YOU HAVE ANY OLD ASD / ALL SAVAGE DEMONS PHOTOS?
Drop a comment and let me know! If you have original photographs, colors, jackets, artwork, flyers or other historical material connected to the All Savage Demons or All Star Dancers, please share them. Contributors can be credited and tagged in future historical posts.
💥 BROOKLYN’S ALWAYS IN THE HOUSE!
These jail photos matter too. They preserve another side of NYC street history that rarely appears in books, documentaries or mainstream archives.
👀 Watch this Short all the way to the end, read the history, then tell me what you remember.

📲 SHARE THIS EVERYWHERE ONLINE so more Brooklyn and NYC old-timers can see it. The right share could help uncover another surviving photograph of the ASD.

🔥 YES—WOMEN HAD THEIR OWN DIVISIONS IN 1970s NYC STREET ORGANIZATIONS!

This digitally recreated 1970s NYC street organization vest represents the Jamaica, Queens, N.Y. division of the LADY NOMADS — the female division connected to the legendary Savage Nomads.
The Savage Nomads began in the late 1960s in the Bronx with Black Benjy Buxton — not Black Bengie of the Ghetto Brothers — and eventually expanded into Queens, including divisions such as the Young Nomads and Lady Nomads.

🎥 One of the rarest pieces of footage documenting this history is the 1975 WNBC-TV documentary “Children Of Violence,” featuring the Savage Nomads, Young Nomads & Lady Nomads of Jamaica, Queens.
And make no mistake — the women involved in NYC street organizations were not background characters. They represented their divisions, wore their colors and were part of this history too. 💪🏽🔥
🌹 Give the Lady Nomads their flowers.
SALUTE to any original Lady Nomads who are still here today. 🫡

🧨 YES — THE TNT BACHELORS WERE IN BROOKLYN TOO! 🧨

This rare 1970s photograph captures a member of the Brooklyn Division of the Bronx-born TNT Bachelors proudly displaying his colors for the camera — an incredible surviving piece of NYC street history.
The Bachelors began in The Bronx, New York during the 1960s, with their colors featuring red, black, green & white. Over the years, the organization expanded into numerous divisions, including the Imperial Bachelors, TNT Bachelors, Deadly Bachelors, Royal Bachelors, Unknown Bachelors and others.

🔥 In North Brooklyn, history also records the Brooklyn Bachelors, Latin Secret Bachelors and other divisions connected to the TNT Bachelors.
And there’s more — the next photograph shows a rare 1970s North Brooklyn newspaper listing of street organizations that includes the Bachelors, adding another piece to this nearly forgotten chapter of New York history. 👀
The Bachelors had so many divisions that it’s incredible how overlooked their history has become. They were one of the major NYC street clubs of the 1970s, with roots stretching back to the Bronx in the 1960s.
Their South Bronx gang graffiti murals were also remembered for displaying both the Puerto Rican 🇵🇷 and Pan-African flags ✊🏿 as symbols of solidarity.

🕯️ RIP Supreme President Black Tony Oquendo, remembered as the Supreme President of the Bachelors in NYC.
🔥 YES — THERE WERE BACHELORS IN BROOKLYN DURING THE 1970s!
