Mr. Green ft. Malik B (of The Roots) & Kevin Brown - Live from the Streets

Like This? You Should Subscribe Here Now: bit.ly/VErZkw
Live from the Streets is a video series created by beatmaker Mr. Green and director Sam Lipman-Stern.
The series is based around showcasing street musicians and turning their performances into hip hop beats.
For this episode we went to Rittenhouse Square in Philly where we bumped into Kevin Brown. Kevin is a veteran street performer that has earned his stripes traveling across the country via freight train. He played us an original song and then told us a couple stories from the road. After that we went back to the lab and made a beat out of a piece of Kevin's song. Finally, we got Malik B from the Roots to spit a verse on the beat.
This is a special song because it's the first time Malik B has ever been in a solo music video.

Rest in peace to Kevin Brown and Malik B. Both are now together again. :(

The guy playing the guitar past away to? How & how did you find out. ✌🏽

[@hellosupnamesdannydandanie2703]

@@SPBeez_PhillyDaKid_PhiBri I don't know much about The Roots. I just typed in "Dead news" and his name (the founder of The Roots) died. This was probably his most viewed video as a solo artist without all his fellow members. The guitar player also just happened to sadly die as well. So that's how I ended up here. I already miss them both. :(

I know this page is for Malik B I wished I would've known more about your work behind the scene. Thank GOD you have a friend indeed that let all that she could know the great work you did. Thank you Jaguar Wright for sharing your feelings coming out and showed real hip hop heads what was going on and what went on. He'll come back and be even more better. I like to take the time out to say RIP to the guitar musician he played a major part in this classic song. And to all t of Malik's famiy friends and fans my condolences from the heart

[@SPBeez_PhillyDaKid_PhiBri]

[@goingglobalmusicgroup2555]

This mans flow is timeless! I hear his flow style in roots songs he isn't on. He is still present and it didn't hit me until i went back to the roots first album. Malik B started it off and killed it. Black Thought rapped second and it was night and day. Malik B bars were next level for sure. I do hear his flow and ryhme patterns on Roots songs. I will leave it at that. The song What People Do proves it!
