Background edit
Live from the Streets started as a video series created by producer Mr. Green and director Sam Lipman-Stern most known for airing on VICE's music channel Noisey[2] and Green Label.[3] The series, follows Green globally on a journey meeting interesting people and musicians on the streets. Green samples their music; interviews the street performer; and then turns the sounds into original beats. After the beat is created, he collaborates with a rapper or singer to add powerful lyrics to the musical backdrop he and the street musician constructed. Finally, at the end of each episode, Green revisits the people he sampled to play them the final track; oftentimes receiving emotional responses from people who have never heard themselves on recorded audio. The final episodes are a unique hybrid music/video experience. Mr. Green has compiled the songs from the series into an album, and released 'Live From The Streets' on April 7, 2015, via Duck Down Music Inc.[4] and their own production company. On December 1, 2021, a new "If I Don't Go To Hell 3022" EP was released featuring KRS-One and Trippie Redd along with an intro by Ghostface Killah. The EP reached the top 40 on iTunes.
