Streets - 'A Grand Dont Come For Free' album review - Tiscali Music Reviews

Release date: May 10th 2004

Underground garage is the new punk; it's artists vilified and feared by the establishment yet held dear by the nation's youth.

Under his moniker of 'The Streets' Skinner hilariously, painfully and inch-perfectly pieces together rhymes against a hand-crafted UK garage backdrop.

Skinner has the ability to articulate the very essence of UK urban existence in the twenty-first century, from clumsy relationship fumblings, through social services living to the joys and otherwise of alcohol and weed.

Like his eighties forebears Skinner spans entire tracts of contemporary life and uses music to underscore his points and punchlines.
