Da Kids from the 4th Floor

Welcome to Da Kids from the 4th Floor — where nostalgia lives rent-free. Hosted by Christina and B MAD, two Brooklyn originals and siblings who grew up on cassette tapes, Saturday morning cartoons, and real neighborhood energy, this show takes you back to the magic of the 80s and 90s.

Each episode dives into the music, TV, fashion, and moments that shaped a generation, the mixtapes, the sneakers, the block parties, the culture. Through stories, laughs, and real talk, Christina and B MAD bring the past into the present, showing how the best parts of where we come from still shape who we are.

It’s not just a throwback — it’s a time capsule with heart. Tune in, laugh loud, and reminisce with Da Kids from the 4th Floor.
