“Chinatown” Feat. A$AP Ferg – Live From the Streets (Episode 2)
/in BMX, Music, News /by jasperMr. Green is back again with a new batch of tight collaborators, this time hooking up with A$AP Ferg. Read on for a statement from Green himself.
“This might come as a surprise but I like to trap music, it’s dope. I’m a boom bap dude at heart but there is something crazy exciting about trap music that i can’t get enough of. I’m not sure if it’s the sub bass, the fast hi-hats or the ridiculous chants that the artist say over and over but I’m feeling it.
When my people from VICE/Noisey told me A$AP Ferg wanted to do an episode I was all the way down. I immediately sat for a couple hours and chopped some samples I got from Chinatown and put the beat together.
A couple days later me, Sam and the crew headed uptown to Polo Grounds studio to meet Ferg. He was mad cool. We immediately hit it off and started talking about growing up riding bikes and how the bmx/skate worlds overlap into hip hop and the music industry. It kind of felt like I was talking to one of my friends I grew up skating with and not some mainstream rapper/celebrity dude. He did a couple crazy verses and a hook about riding bikes and then we took off.
Ferg and I have a mutual friend Nigel Sylvester (who I know through Animal Bikes) so, while i was making the track, I met up with him. We recorded some bikes sounds and then I threw them in the mix.
Finally, we checked out Animal Street jam in Newark and got a bunch of dope footage.
Shout out to Gabby, Nigel, Vice/Noisey, Ferg and the whole A$AP Mob, Animal Bikes, Ralph Sinisi & everyone that attended the 2014 Animal Street Jam in Newark.”
