The Hood Back in the Days            (The Remixes)

🎤 “Too Close to the Ledge (Bushwick Chronicles)”
By BlackLatino 

🎙️ Part of the Bushwick Chronicles series.

Powered by UnpluggedMale & Sourceline Mediai

📍From Dekalb to Knickerbocker. From Myrtle Ave to the morgue.
This ain’t just rap  this is urban war poetry wrapped in boom bap fury and Brooklyn thunder.

Built on the bones of Eric B. & Rakim’s “Know the Ledge,” this track grabs the blueprint and reloads it for 2025  with sharper bars, darker truths, and a mic soaked in real blood.

🩸 Gunplay, playground chalk outlines, courtrooms, vengeance.
🎯 From block beef to Bushwick Gambino bars  this is the unfiltered chronicle of a borough they gentrified but never tamed.

💣 This ain’t nostalgia. This is survival music. This is legacy with war paint.

“Too Close to the Ledge (Bushwick Chronicles)” is a modern-day street classic that fuses boom bap energy with the urgency of real survival. Samuel takes listeners through the raw geography of Bushwick from Dekalb to Knickerbocker  where every line drips with memory, gun smoke, and unapologetic truth.

Ill Bushwick Blues Inspired by Kool G Rap'

“What People Do for Money”

🎤 By BlackLatino | A Sourceline Mediai Reality Check

💰 They said money talks  but this track screams.

A modern day street sermon set to boom bap breaks and razor sharp truths, BlackLatino exposes the wild, hilarious, and heartbreaking lengths people go to just to survive, look rich, or get attention.

🎧 [Track Highlights]

OnlyFans flips heartbreak to hustle 💔➡️💵

Fake crypto bros livin’ off their momma’s Wi-Fi 📉

Uber driving "CEOs" tryna impress from the backseat 🚗

Tax season schemes turned relationship heists 💍💸

College fly outs gone wrong, viral thirst traps, and Zelle addiction 📲🔥

This ain’t fiction. This is the mirror nobody wanna hold up.

🔁 Anthem Hook:

"What people do for money...
Sometimes it make me cry.
Babies see this with they eyes."

🎤 For Fans Of:
DMX • J. Cole • Dead Prez • Nas • Jadakiss
Real heads. Real bars. Real truth.

💣 Final Word:
No cap. No filter. No safe lines.
This is what happens when truth becomes currency  and the world stays broke anyway.


Everyone talkin’ like they real until money’s involved.

This track is a modern remix of a classic format  exposing how men and women today hustle, lie, scheme, or just stay stuck... all in the name of money.

Some do it on OnlyFans.
Some stay at mom’s house till 40.
Some preach “boss moves” while asking for rides.

If you’ve ever watched people sell soul for coins  this one’s for you.

🎤 Written by BlackLatino
🔊 For the real ones who see through it all.

What people do for money...

🎧 Track Title: What People Do for Money

This ain’t rap. This is indictment.

💰 Over rapid-fire beat and pounding street drums, BlackLatino unleashes a brutal breakdown of what clout chasing culture has become:

• Scamming your own mama.

• Selling your soul for a rented lifestyle.

• Turning street smarts into selfishness.

👀 No one’s safe  pastors, rappers, shorties, OGs.
Everyone getting exposed.


🎯 Real ones build. Fake ones finesse. And when karma shows up?
It rings the bell.

This ain’t motivation it’s a threat to every doubt you’ve ever faced.

🚨 From orchestral war drums to blood on the ground lyricism, “Bet Against Me Now” is the anthem for anyone who’s been laughed at, left out, or written off.

This is payback in poetry. This is strategy in rhyme. This is survival gone platinum.

💥 Brooklyn grit meets Wall Street game.

💥 Scarred hands turn blueprints into kingdoms.
💥 They bet against you but you built while they slept.

🎙️ “I feed wolves. You feed rats  that’s the difference.”

By BlackLatino | Bushwick-grown
Presented bySourceline Mediai
🕊️ Rest in Power Mike & Anthony

This isn’t a remix | it’s a eulogy in rhyme.

💸 Cash Rules Everything Around Me meant survival, betrayal, and the cost of loyalty in a Brooklyn block bleeding from every corner.
This track is for the real soldiers, the ones who never made it past the curb, but whose names still echo in every verse.

🎤 Over the original Wu-Tang hook, BlackLatino paints a grimy, lyrical mural of Bushwick  where loyalty dies young and landlords wear suits instead of masks.

🕊️ Mike had the blade.
📈 Anthony had the vision.
🎙️ This track carries both.

💉 Blood on the bars. No clout. Just truth.

📣 Anthem for the Unapologetic. Born from chaos. Bred for survival.

🎙️ Intro  
From the Yankee fitted to the corner hustle, BlackLatino spits for the true NYC warriors.
Not for the tourists. Not for the TikTokers.
This is grit with a bassline. This is pain in motion.

[Verse 1: NYC Reality Check]

🚇 Subway funk. 🍕 Lunch break heat. 💸 Rent pressure.
Your “New York aesthetic” came from our scars.
🗽 “They love how we sound, but mock how we live…”
That bar alone is a slap to every fake transplant blog.

[Hook: Chant-Ready]

"Those New Yorkers!" your mosh pit anthem.
🔥 Crowd chant. 🔥 Block party-ready. 🔥 Marching soundtrack.
From Bushwick to the Bronx Zoo  it hits.

[Verse 2: The Hate Is Real]

💯 They hate the pride.
💯 They hate the resilience.
💯 They hate the fact we do in real life what they only post.
Deadass went global, but where was the credit?

Even our roaches got attitude  what you know about that?

[Outro: Raw Spoken Word]
BlackLatino signs off with the pulse of a million stoops:

🗣️ “We don’t bend. We don’t beg. We don’t break.”
They watch us. They bite our slang. But they’ll never be us.
Because we be those.
Those New Yorkers.

🎧 Genre: Grit-Hop / NYC Boom Bap / Anthem Rap

🎤 For fans of: DMX, Jadakiss, Joell Ortiz, Pharoahe Monch
🏙️ Location Love: Brooklyn. Bronx. Manhattan. Queens. Staten.

Not everyone who smiles in your face is in your corner.

This isn’t the playground version of “Friends.” This is what happens when the fake ones vanish, the real ones bleed, and the courts expose everyone’s true loyalty.

🎶 Built on the legendary Whodini hook, this remix flips nostalgia into a modern betrayal anthem breaking down what it really means to have someone in your corner when the heat hits.

💉 One gave him a kidney.
📉 The rest gave him excuses.
And now? Names don’t need to be said  they know who they are.

This is spoken loyalty.
This is circle-check music.
This is the reminder that blood, not vibes, defines a real friend.

🔁 Share this if you lost fake friends in real trials.
💬 Tag your one ride-or-die.
📎 Save if your loyalty’s been tested  and you came out cleaner.

A fresh take on a familiar theme, this remix infuses new energy into the concept of friendship, blending nostalgic elements with contemporary beats. A hard-hitting, introspective courtroom-style rap remix from Blacklatino, representing Brooklyn/Bushwick  and bridging Black and Latino truths through hi-fi East Coast lyricism. “F.R.I.E.N.D.S” exposes the fake love, shallow favors, and silent betrayals disguised as friendship.

 Produced with a gritty violin-driven beat and sharp drums, this track is Soul + Survival. Released in collaboration with SourceLine Mediai.

F.R.I.E.N.D.S (SourceLine Remix) Inspired by Whodini

🎧 “Breathe Before the War”
By Samuel 
Presented by UnpluggedMale

This ain’t rage. It’s preparation.

🎤 A modern-day war hymn for the ones who held their tongue while the world threw dirt.
This track is tension. Stillness. That deep breath before all hell breaks loose.

🌩️ Think Phil Collins’ “In the Air Tonight”  if it was raised in Bushwick, trained in trauma, and baptized in silence.

This is the moment right before the roar.
Right before you remind them you never folded  you observed.

🩸 For the loyal ones who got burned..

🧠 For the thinkers who became fighters.

💨 For the silent who learned how to breathe before striking.

This is that deep inhale before vengeance breathes fire.
A cinematic track wrapped in thunderous drums and gospel refrains. Samuel delivers poetic rage and raw reflection in “Breathe Before the War,” fusing scripture, street pain, and spiritual warfare into a street sermon.
For the fighters. For the betrayed. For the ones who breathe before they strike.

Demons in the Wind Inspired by The Notorious B.I.G.

“Friends (Courtroom Confessions Remix)” is a cinematic hip-hop confession about loyalty in the era of filters and fake love.

The Architect strips friendship down to truth  no clout, no likes, no masks. Just raw loyalty.
This remix blends Whodini’s classic hook with modern boom-bap soul, where Gen X wisdom meets today’s digital chaos.

 Vibe: Soul sample energy.
Quote: “They post your story, not your struggle.”

Message: Real friends don’t repost you  they ride for you.

This track speaks to every generation tired of fake loyalty, ghosted support, and social-media validation.
It’s the anthem for real ones who still believe loyalty > likes.

 Built by SourceLine Mediai (A.I). Written by The Architect.

Stream. Repost. Tag #LegacyMode and #RealFriendsChallenge if you still believe in loyalty.

This remix turns “Friends” into a generational mirror.
It contrasts Gen X’s loyalty code with today’s digital disconnection — teaching that friendship isn’t measured by emojis or reposts, but by presence in silence.
Every bar is a courtroom testimony about betrayal, trust, and the cost of real connection.
It’s not nostalgia  it’s a warning to rebuild community before connection becomes code.
