His work as an underground, indie and professional beatsmith has already placed Mr. Green high on the list of respected producers in the hip hop game, but it's his work alongside his filmmaking partner Sam Lipman-Stern, to create the Live From The Streets series that has gained him exponential visibility, and deservedly so. Live From The Streets, seen on Vice’s music channel, Noisey, finds Mr. Green interviewing and recording music from street musicians throughout the world, finding out their stories, listening to their sounds, then creating hip hop influenced beats and songs from pieces of their creations.

About to embark on a new season of the show and fresh off of the release of the Live From The Streets album featuring music from the show, things are looking pretty bright for Mr. Green.
