Here’s the latest episode of Live from the Streets featuring Slaughter Rico and the East Coast Gas Station. And here’s what Mr. Green had to say: “This episode was recorded entirely at the East Coast Gas Station in North Philadelphia. First we met up with Philly legend Slaughter Rico (look up “5 Dolla Nigga”) and started grabbing sounds from the car. We got stuff from the trunk, the glove box, the keys, the horn, the ignition beep and a couple random other things from around the station. Then I loaded the sounds in the beat machine and chopped them up. Finally, Slaughter Rico dropped a crazy verse over the beat.” Mr. Green and crew inviting people to make their own beats from the car sounds. Click here to download the sounds from this episode.
