The structure is a clipped shortening of "street credibility." It is used to describe respect or credibility among peers in urban settings, especially in hip hop or street culture, often earned through surviving hardship, avoiding cooperation with authorities, or demonstrating genuine knowledge of street life. People typically say someone has "street cred" when they are seen as authentic rather than fake or commercialized.
