Artist Biography

Mike Skinner (born November 27, 1978), more commonly known by his stage name The Streets, is a rapper from Birmingham, England. He was born in Barnet in North London and that's where his accent, sometimes called 'Mockney' by the press, comes from. You can hear his actual accent on the start of 'Fake Streets Hats' from his album The Hardest Way To Make An Easy Living recorded in 2006. He moved to Birmingham shortly after he was born and is a Birmingham City fan. He has suffered from epilepsy since he was five.

He signed a five album record deal and has released four albums: Original Pirate Material (2002), A Grand Don't Come For Free (2004), The Hardest Way To Make An Easy Living (2006) and Everything Is Borrowed (2008).

The fourth album is said to be an uplifting album reflecting on life and the world, unlike his other three.
