To tell you the truth I don't got all the info. It's a mixture between my family don't remember and they really don't wanna tell me..lol.

But my fam says they first moved to Brooklyn. And I had my grandfathers brother lived in queens with his fam who I used to visit the times I visited New York. And my grandmother says she then moved to queens. So i'm like guessing yo they lived together in queens at the time. They don't even wanna tell me what part of queens I was at when I was 15, I swear I don't even remember.

My G, London's BEEN like that.

Grew up in Theath, but have family in Burnt Oak and North.
Always kept a girl 'off the ends' cos it's easier to creep. :manny:

CR7's been like that since the 90's.
Down south heads will most likely test you on the bus, rather then on foot. (less escapes).

In my era we had the glass Lucozade bottles as weapon, the buses red 'glass-shatter' hammers or my favourite a metal rule from DT.
Ducking Brixton heads, 28's, younger 28's or Peckham boys.

You surviving off 'facial recognition' rather then rep. That or playing dumb humming to yourself into the distance like a psycho when those wolves got on. :demonic:

You're the same as me. Got fam in neasden (probably know a few people i do, north's very small)

Yep, that's how it was, every day on that bus. Shout outs to the 386 and cherry yutes, but even in certain ends (woodpecker) it can still be quite bad

When I was like 12 my cousin in the Bronx tried to hook me up with my first girlfriend. Half black and Puerto Rican with long wavy hair :noah: . I had a crush on her and she was digging me. He was telling me how it worked out perfectly because she lived around my way. Then he told me she lived in Marble Hill PJ's. I have a no project chick policy. I was too skinny to be taking those risks. I still walk past her building and wonder where she is right now:mjcry:

Ha, yeah North is smaller.
Fam all over Burnt Oak, Neasden, Kilburn & Cricklewood.

Yeah, the heads from your endz, Blue borough were nothing to play wit.
Specially before they started gentrifying old south and sending the worse ones our way to Croydon. :russ:

As he should, the wolves were out there in Red Hood :mjlol: You don't go out there unless you have business out there.


Them folks are savages.

Correct. What made Red Hook worse, is that you were ASS OUT if you got into trouble. The G and the F train were a good 10 blocks away from the projects. No reason to go there if you didn't live there.

The I in Team
Quietly peeping the jux/line up and being able to maneuver out of it?

Those moments made me feel like the illest nygga.

Call me childish, but I still remember a lot of those moments YEARS later.


My nikka that shyt became a spider sense. Never got robbed but I damn sure ran that 200 yard dash like a good 2 times as a kid. Both times in projects I never shoulda been in but I was on my street dwelling weed head shyt. Saw nikkas scheming, senses kicked in and I hauled ass.:pachaha:
