Show Notes
The Streets, headed by Mike Skinner, is a British institution. Never has a musical concept gone so far as a poetically blunt force in commentary about regular life. Over the past nearly two decades, Mike Skinner has built a discography that covers all facets of life. From the colourful moments to the greyest monotony. From going clubbing and doing drugs to watching telly with the wife & kids. The Streets covers everything with wide-spanning production influences and endless Quotables through a no-nonsense voice that only Mike Skinner can do.
