Green Street x TrueFace: GreenFace T-shirt!

2009-12-01T16:46:00.018-05:00

Click here to purchase a t-shirt today: SHOP GREEN STREET!

We are proud to debut our first collaboration with TrueFace Limited, by introducing the limited edition GreenFace T-shirt. Printed on high quality cotton shirts, this shirt features the classic TrueFace logo infused with that Green Street flavor.

What is TrueFace?

The 'face' is a symbol of the duality we share as human beings: we all have one, yet each one possesses characteristics that are unique to ourselves. The different colors represent our individuality and how we can choose to express ourselves, which contributes to our uniqueness.

The original TrueFace logo consists of the three primary colors, signifying our ability to create whatever reality we choose when we decide to experiment with our palettes.

For us at Green Street, we wanted to channel the vibrancy of our music onto a t-shirt. We decided to use the color green because it represents the multiple dimensions of our vision.

Purchase your limited edition GreenFace t-shirt today! Click here: SHOP GREEN STREET!

A big shout out Ace, Keith and Suahd at TF.

NYU's music magazine, the Troubadour, recently did a full length feature on Green Street.

"Original old-school hip-hop may be hard to come by at most universities, but the dedicated members of Green Street are spreading their sound around to a few northeastern schools and NYU students are liking what they hear.

Founded by NYU senior Ani Sanyal and Boston University’s Max Schneider, Green Street has been garnering attention for their breezy 90s-era throwback influence and thoughtful lyrics..."

On Track: Ontrak & Malado's Journey To Spring Concert from Marc Pitler on Vimeo.

"Shot over two months and featuring explosive concert footage, On Track: Ontrak & Malado's Journey To Spring Concert showcases the rise of the Ontrak ENT to musical prominence. From their surprise victory at the Umass Amherst Battle of the Bands to their triumphant Spring Concert performance opening for Lupe Fiasco, Ontrak has consistently upped their game and is completely dedicated to changing the face of live hip hop.

Produced by Spikey Head Studios
Shot and Chopped by Marc Pitler"

"Earlier this week at Webster Hall I, and everyone enrolled in a summer course at NYU, saw a rap show featuring Wiz Khalifa, Green Street and Corleone. I’m going to attribute last night’s NYU-ization to Green Street.

The Boston-bred true school rap group is comprised of rapper A-Live and producer Renaissance. They both live in New York now, and they must sell pot out of their dorm room or something because they had millions of kids there, getting all crazy for them at 9:00 on a Tuesday...."

Time Travellin' w/ Ren

2009-06-16T21:21:00.007-04:00

As promised, here is part 2 of our interview with Hip-Hop Cyber Media Group. Sit back and let producer/soul brotha Ren take you away with words..

AS: Green Street has been around for a while now. How did you guys get your start writing and producing hip-hop?

Ren: We were both casually doing music with our crews back in the day, and at one point we merged and started doing stuff together, you know – ciphers, sessions, recordings and all that. Me and A-live were really the ones holding that down, and Green Street kind of just naturally evolved from that. It was just us trying to fuse our love for the music with different genres while still keeping it gritty, and that’s really what we still hold to today. With our music now, “the rhyme style is elevated, the style of beats have elevated, but its still A-Live and Ren.”

AS: You’ve been compared to positive-minded, conscious hip-hop groups with jazzy beats like A Tribe Called Quest and The Roots? What other types of artists have influenced your sound, and what do you make of those comparisons?

Ren: When we started out, we were both fans of that true-school style. For me, I got into ATCQ , Wu-Tang, Rakim and all the old school cats, and as we got more into it, as we progressed as people we started opening up our minds to what we thought hip-hop could be. Pete Rock really got me into the jazz stuff and helped me realize that the boundaries of hip-hop are infinite. That feeling definitely grew as we started listening to the modern cats such as Little Brother, Nicolay, Oddisee, etc. It’s always an honor being compared to any of our influences, and I can’t really say anything about the comparisons, but I always make sure to pay dues because they are the ones who got us here. At the same time, I like to think we have our own, distinct flavor over here on Green Street but we still hope that people can hear our influences reflected in our music.

AS: What about other artists you’ve worked with, what type of advice and mentoring, if any, have you received? Any particular piece that was particularly illuminating?

Ren: We’ve done projects with Tableek of Masspyke and Replife, but the biggest artist that we have worked with to date is Oddisee. Homie probably gave us the best piece of advice we’ve gotten. We usually don’t get that much criticism in terms of our music--its usually just the cliché stuff since most people aren’t really trying to rock the boat. But we really respect Odd for being real with us and giving some real constructive criticism. He told us he could see a lot of the past in our music and our efforts to preserve that old soul, but at the same time, we should always remember that it’s our job as artists to bring that forward and make it relevant to our times. As much as it’s important to keep the roots of the music alive, we also gotta always be striving to progress the artform. That would probably be the best advice we’ve got in this game so far.

AS: When I wrote an earlier blog post on Green Street for an American Studies “Hip-Hop Media” class focusing on your origin from Lexington, MA, Ren shot me a message thanking me for the publicity, but questioning the suburban focus of the post, saying it came off in a way that made Green Street seem “illegitimate.” That being said, is there any certain astigmatism arising from your own suburban backgrounds that you’ve experienced with your involvement in hip-hop culture? Since you guys certainly are no “Asher Roths,” marketing yourselves as suburban hip-hop, and both live in urban environments now, how do you view your own [socioeconomic, conscious, “hard”] status within hip-hop culture? Urban, suburban? Legitimate, Illegitimate?

Ren: You know, we really subscribe to the philosophy that ‘it ain’t where you’re from, it’s where you’re at.’ I feel like if you make good music, that transcends all kinds of boundaries that people normally construct. And from the responses we’ve gotten about our music, it seems that a lotta people feel the same way. That being said, we know that some people will write off a hip hop act labeled “suburban” right off the bat without even giving the music a chance, and that’s not something we’re trying to promote. We don’t really have anything against people knowing where we’re from, but we think that being labeled up front like that takes away from the universality of the music. We also don’t like to label ourselves; we like to let the music speak for itself. If people want to judge us, that’s all good, but we don’t really concern ourselves with all that. All those categories are just unnecessary limitations. Lupe probably sums it up best: “they wanna put us in boxes like chocolates, that’s nonsense.”

AS: Both of you are avid basketball fans and court warriors. If you had to compare Green Street to any famous basketball duo, who would it be and why? MJ and Pippen, Bird and McHale, Kobe and Shaq?

Ren: This one took a lot of thought. We went through some of the classic duos, and none of them really fit, so we thought it might be more fitting to find a modern Celtics duo because that’s what we grew up on. We really thought we had it with Kenny Anderson and Eric Williams, but realized that wasn’t it. Then we moved on to Big Al and Perk, but that didn’t work either, so we settled on Ray Ray and Pierce. They got a lot in common with the finesse and the clutch shooting, but both got their own style with it. That’s how we see the Green Street dynamic; we got a lot in common that holds the group together, but it’s our different styles that give our music character.

AS: Speaking of Basketball, I’ve heard through the rumor mill that there may be some sort of an upcoming collaboration between Green Street and the Boston Celtics. Any further details? Does the color green have anything to do with it?

Ren: Haha, yeah…A-live has been on his grind, networking with some people and I aint trying to jinx anything right now, by letting anything leak out, but stay tuned!

A-live: Further details will come soon, I apologize, I’m kinda superstitious, haha…as of now, the color Green is not involved, but I don’t see how it couldn’t be in the future. KG, holla at me, you know what it is!

Conclusion

AS: What are your future plans for Green Street? Any new releases coming out soon or projects that are in the works? Do you see yourselves taking Green Street to new heights after finishing up college, and/or trying to make a living through hip-hop culture?

Ren: We got a lot on our plate right now. We just came put out a little collab project with this producer Thallus from Germany and now we’re real close to finishing up our new “Chess Moves” mixtape. We also are a couple tracks away from finishing up a collaboration album with Introspective Minds Productions out of ATL (shouts to the homie Stephen Jones!). Both of those should be out real soon. We’re also trying to put out another mixtape sometime this summer with some more material we’ve been working on. On top of all that, we’ve got two projects in the works with guitarist/vocalist/keyboardist/bassist/musical genius Ken Ross. One of them’s a jazz/fusion album with lots of live instrumentation that we’ve been working on on and off for a while now that features two of our hit tracks “Old Music” and “All I See.” The other’s a collaboration with this emcee Nieve out of Cali—dude’s a crazy lyricist. Both of those albums are gonna feature production from the producer team “Ren and Ken,” so if you like the production on those 2 tracks I was talking about, you’re gonna find some treats on those albums. As for where we’re trying to take the Green Street movement? We’re really just riding the wave right now, trying to see where it takes us. The future’s something you can never bet on, but music’s such a big part of our life that we’d like to keep it going as long as we can. Looking back at how far we’ve come, anything’s possible.

Extra Credit Bloggin’: Interview with Green Street MC A-Live (Part 1)

2009-06-02T15:31:00.002-04:00

Oh yessir..shoutout AS and the good people at Hip-Hop Media Group..

Link

"I promised y’all an interview with Boston/Brooklyn based hip-hop artists Green Street, so here it is. MC A-Live has some pretty enlightening opinions on hip-hop, the internet, etc. Here’s part 1 of the interview. Extra credit style (up to ten points, right Rachel?)

AS: You’ve had a Green Street Records Myspace page since 2005 and just recently created a Green Street Blog. Which online medium do you think is better suited to promoting your music and communicating with fans? Have you used the internet in any other capacity to promote Green Street, and are there any future plans for YouTube, Facebook, or Hip-Hop Blog domination?

A-live: At the time we created the Myspace, that was really the industry standard for up and coming artists. Nowadays, as evidenced by rappers like Drake and Wale, blogs pretty much can make or break an artist and Myspace has taken somewhat of a backseat. I think having a Myspace is still essential because that’s where most people are going to go in order to get introduced to you, but once you have a fanbase, I think having a blog is necessary. Our experience with using our blog has been nothing but positive, and the traffic we are getting is very encouraging, so we are exploring more options with that. As for other outlets, our presence on Youtube is growing [Search: Green Street TV] and I think that will come as the buzz builds. And in terms of Facebook, I used to really hate it, but I’ve realized that Facebook is such an easy, essential way to reach people, that it really has to be utilized and we’ve made a lot of efforts to do that with good results.

AS: Do you read Hip-Hop Blogs? Which ones and how often? Have any dope blogs (other than Hip-Hop Media Cyber Group) ever covered Green Street?

A-live: I actually do follow a couple blogs, one of them being Nahright, the other being Niketalk and the last being OctobersVeryOwn. I got a Blackberry and an iPhone, haha, so I’m pretty much on these and other sites all day, just staying up with whats going on. I think blogs are great to reach people and be able to communicate a lot of important information extremely easily, they are no longer viewed and corny and emo… which I was guilty of boxing them into back in the day. In terms of coverage, we’ve had a lot of support from hip-hop blogs, from an interview with MVRemix.com, a spotlight on ‘Random Acts of Flyness’ (http://thekidampgreen.blogspot.com/), a spotlight on Lupe Fiasco’s Lup-End blog and a couple more. Also, I gotta shout out our Green Street A&R team of Mr. Dev and Chilly for keeping the people entertained on their blogs with our exploits, http://misterdev.blogspot.com and http://chillyray.blogspot.com. These are blogs that keep people updated on the other, ridiculous, everyday happenings of our team. Both those sites hold some exclusives that most people don’t know about.

AS: What other ways do you use the internet to access hip-hop media?

A-live: In terms of finding music these days, no one is going to the record store and searching through the “New Arrivals” to find their fix, its all found on the internet, so in that respect, both of us keep our ear to the big sites (Okayplayer.com, HiphopDX, Allhiphop, Nahright, etc) to find new/unheard music. Of course Youtube is great, you can find old freestyle footage clips of all the greats and all that, so that’s another huge..I think the internet has revolutionized hip-hop music, and its not necessarily all good, but truth be told, we would be nowhere without it.

AS: Green Street just released an EP, “Rise and Grind,” with beats by a German producer named “Thallus.” How did this collaboration come about? Does Green Street receive beats from aspiring producers on the daily, or was this a special occasion?

A-live: This collaboration was really a fluke to be honest, we receive a lot of beats from people, and its not many times we respond just due to the hectic nature of all our other projects. With Thallus, it was Ren (Green Street’s Producer) who went through the beats he sent (I didn’t click on the link because I thought it was spam or a virus, you just cant be sure these days) and Ren pushed me to give them a listen. Obviously, we found his music was pretty powerful and decided that it wouldn’t hurt to do the project. It also worked well as a sequel to our next tape coming out in June called Chess Moves and in the end, I’m happy Ren went through the beats because I had a lot of fun doing this project. Shoutsout to Thallus if you reading this!"

Part II w/ Ren, coming soon. CHESS MOVES, THE NEW MIXTAPE FROM GREEN STREET, COMING SOON.
