From what I remember?

Crew would be one word-- as per the 999 song Feelin All Right with the Crew.

Brother is another one, it's close, not quite, and earlier 70s.

Those two I remember from being a kid. I've now read on a slang site that someone, somewhere called his or her friends his or her mellow--something that sounds really odd to me--

But that's one of the problems with asking an overall slang question. Slang terms differ depending on where you're from, who you know, what you listen to, what you read, what you see. I think crew, which I do know works, is more a British term than American but i misspent my youth listening to bands like 999 so it makes the most sense to me.

If it also helps, I think homie started then too. As did blood. Both of them do come from gang slang. At least in Los Angeles, where I am. But, then again, slang often comes from the dark depths before expiring amid the multitude, just like so much else.

There is a lot that is almost hilariously wrong with some of it. For example, the word chillaxin? The word chill didn't show up for at least a decade after 1979 and chillaxin took a decade after that so--watch your head here and YMMV. Still, some of it's helpful and if you seek online you shall surely find more. Another tip? Those of us who remember the 1970s are not all old and dead yet so, you know, you might ask someone you know.
