Shrapnel in my back pocket

Posted on 22 February 2006 | 2 Comments

Because The Streets have a new album called The Hardest Way To Make An Easy Living coming out in April (and also found their new single via the blogs) I listened to A Grand Don’t Come For Free again today and loved every single second of it. Mike Skinner’s disaffected everyman rapping fits perfectly with the sparse skittering beats of this record. And what Mike lacks in flow he makes up tenfold in pure storytelling ability.
