The performing name of Mike Skinner, the Streets have become one of the most popular garage/hip hop artists in the country thanks to his inventive beats and wry, witty lyrics.
It was with the number one single 'Dry Your Eyes' that truly catapulted him into the mainstream musical elite, and saw him pull in bigger crowds, record sales and trappings of fame.
This sharp rise influenced third album 'The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living', a record that rambled and raved where his first two were concise. Everyone is allowed a slip though, and he remains one of the most popular artists of recent years, and his live shows are never less than scintillating.
