Mike Skinner’s recordings as the Streets marked the first attempt to add a degree of social commentary to Britain’s party-hearty garage/2-step (and later grime) movement. Skinner was initially an outsider in the garage scene. Although his initial recordings appeared on Locked On, the premiere source for speed garage and 2-step from 1998 to the end of the millennium, he listened first to hip-hop, then house and jungle. The Streets biggest hits include “Blinded By The Lights”, “Dry Your Eyes”, “Don’t Mug Yourself”, “Fit But You Know It”, “Let’s Push Things Forward” and “Has It Come To This”. The iconic Streets catalogue also includes the albums “Original Pirate Material”, “A Grand Don’t Come For Free”, “The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living”, “Everything Is Borrowed” and “Computers and Blues”.

Guaranteed accuracy, enhanced CD Latest technology, darts hit treble twenty Huge non-recoupable advance, majors be vigilant I excel in both content and deliverance So let’s put on our classics and we’ll have a little dance, shall we? No sales pitch, no media hype, no hydro, it’s nice and ripe I speak in communications in bold type This ain’t your archetypal street sound, scan for ultrasounds North, South, East, West and all round And then to the Underground You say that everything sounds the same Then you go buy them There’s no excuses, my friend Let’s push things forward You say that everything sounds the same Then you go buy them There’s no excuses, my friend Let’s push things forward As we progress to the check point I wholeheartedly agree with your viewpoint But this ain’t your typical garage joint I make points which hold significance That ain’t a bag, it’s a shipment This ain’t a track, it’s a movement, I got the settlement My frequencies are transient and resonate your eardrums I make bangers not anthems, leave that to the Artful Dodger The broad-shouldered fifty-one percent shareholder You won’t find us on Alta Vista Cult classic, not bestseller, you’re gonna need more power Plug in the three phase and the generator, crank it up to gigawatts Critics, ready with your pot shots, the plot thickens Put on your mittens for these sub-zero conditions But remember I’m just spitting, remember I’m just spitting Once bitten, forever smitten You say that everything sounds the same Then you go buy them There’s no excuses, my friend Let’s push things forward You say that everything sounds the same Then you go buy them There’s no excuses, my friend Let’s push things forward Spit jewels like Eastern riches, junkie fixes Around here we say “birds“, not bitches As London Bridge burns down, Brixton’s burning up Turns out you’re in luck, ’cause I know this dodgy fuck in the Duck So it’s just another show flick from your local city poet In case you geezers don’t know it, let’s push things forward It’s a tall order but we’re taller, calling all maulers Back street brawlers, corner shop crawlers, victory’s flawless Love us or hates us but don’t slate us Don’t conform to formulas, pop genres and such Sharp darts, double dutch, parked cars troubles you much With more bud – let’s push things forward You say that everything sounds the same Then you go buy them There’s no excuses, my friend Let’s push things forward You say that everything sounds the same Then you go buy them There’s no excuses, my friend Let’s push things forward
