For the latest episode of “Live from the Streets,” Producer/DJ Mr. Green continues to push the boundaries of his production savvy and creativity, with his venture to “Tent City,” a shanty town off the highway in Camden, New Jersey (currently ranked as the poorest city in the U.S.), where he meets Country, Tent City’s Assistant Mayor. The outcome of their interaction results in an uplifting song title “I Believe” that pools the vocal talent of country, along with verses from both Skrewtape and frequent Mr. Green collaborator, Pace Won.

Mr. Green:
On our way to back Philly we would always pass a slightly scary looking tent city on the side of the highway in Camden NJ. We were fascinated by it, we wondered what goes on there, who lives there, and what the people were like.

One day we finally mustered up enough courage to go inside. We arrived in the afternoon, and after walking up the long dusty path we were immediately greeted by Country, the assistant Mayor of Tent City. We were blown away by his charisma, charm and overall positive outlook on life. He was so interesting that we spoke to him close to 30 minutes before we even knew that he was a singer. Once he sung a few notes, we knew we had to feature him in an episode.



He sang us an original song and told us some stories about his life. Next, we took the audio back to the lab and Green made a beat mixing Country’s voice with some piano. After that we took the beat to Pacewon in East Orange and he spit us a verse right on the street. Finally Green got his boy Skrewtape to lay down the final verse in a recording studio.
