Miami-Dade County commissioners have officially approved the renaming of several streets in honor of hit songs by Miami artists. The initiative, spearheaded by Commissioner Keon Hardemon, aims to celebrate the city’s deep musical roots while bringing a sense of pride to local communities.
After facing initial resistance earlier this month, the proposal has now passed with a 9-3 vote, drawing national attention for its unique approach to cultural recognition. Hardemon emphasized the significance of music in Miami’s neighborhoods and the power of this move to inspire change.
“We need to try something dramatic to really change the neighborhood,” Hardemon stated. “People in these communities take music very seriously.”
As a result, several streets in Liberty City will now bear the names of classic Miami anthems, paying tribute to artists who have shaped the city’s Hip Hop legacy. Among the newly renamed streets are:
- City Girls Street – NW 63rd Street
- Born N Raised Street – NW 67th Street
- We the Best Terrace – NW 68th Terrace
- Trick Love the Kids Street – NW 69th Terrace
- No Pain, No Gain Street – NW 71st Street
- Welcome to the MIA Terrace – NW 62nd Terrace
- Tunnel Vision Street – NW 66th Street
- Lovers and Friends Street – NW 69th Street
Additionally, individual artists are being recognized with street names dedicated to Trina’s “Still the Baddest,” Ball Greezy’s “I Deserve It All,” and Luther Campbell’s “It’s Your Birthday.”
This move further cements Miami’s reputation as a city where music and culture are woven into its very streets—now quite literally.
