in the projects and we have
been through this all our life.
We move into shelters, dealing
with everything. You got to take
life as it hits you. That's how
you got to see it.
(Dog barking)
They judge us because
the way we dress, the way act,
sometimes even the way we walk.
This is my mom's. That's my name.
That's where I'm from.
(Soft music)
Trust no one. You know you
can't trust no one in this world.
Beast and M.O.B.
Money over b*tches.
All you want to do is buy these.
I need a lighter. You don't got
a lighter?
(Background chatter)
We live it and we love it.
Dancing and nobody else
does it like we do.
(Booming music)
My name is Marcus.
I was born in Brooklyn,
boom. I'm ten. Peace.
(Booming music)
My name is Joshua Himenez.
Middle name Tai... freaky Tai.
That's what the girls call me.
(Hip hop music)
Rey Rosado, I was born in the BX
1-25-81, I'm 24 years old.
(Clapping)
(Train sounds)
I've been doing it over
probably 12 years, 13.
About. He's been doing it for how long?
-Three years.
It's just a hustle we do on
a daily basis. Get that money,
that bread. You know how it is.
If I want to kill the J the R...
-The D, the A.
-Basically
speaking, all trains we have to necessary.
-When performers come
into the subway, um... -Onto the car.
...onto the car, it's almost an
intrusion of sorts,
you know, and as New Yorkers,
we're almost trained. You hear
the speakers, the people
saying, don't give to panhandlers
and stuff like that and it's
almost too much in your face sometimes.
(Train sounds)
You got more self-employed
people in the subway than you
have in the whole world. (Laughs)
Because not just music.
Actually, you have
enterprises underground.
(Train sounds)
So, it's a full eight hour day,
when you think about it. If you think
oh it's only three hours performing,
but it's all the other stuff.
Like, when I'm there
adrenaline takes over. I don't
care about anything.
It doesn't feel hard. The hard
part is the hauling.
I'm actually from- I was born
and raised in New York City.
I grew up in the
Lower East Side.
About seven or eight, we moved up
to an area called Inwood;
it's the top of Manhattan and
we lived in the
projects and we were pretty
poor.
I've been busking for maybe six
or seven years.
But, before that, I didn't have
a license. Before about five years ago
and then I auditioned for program called
Music Under New York, which actually
is sanctioned by the city and
gives you a license
and the opportunity to perform
at various stations
throughout the city and what's
good about that is you won't
run off by the cops and you're
allowed to use an amplifier
