Music The Streets Discusses ‘Everything Is Borrowed’
The Streets a.k.a. Mike Skinner is unlike most musicians. For starters, he’s a soft-spoken Brit that tells in-depth stories about sex, drugs, and alcohol, while toeing the line between rap and electronica. Although his content has changed significantly since his seminal debut Original Pirate Material (2002), his next LP Everything Is Borrowed shows a more enlightened Mike coming full circle.
With the new album set to drop next Tuesday, we hit up Skinner to get a preview of what to expect, plus his plans for the future. Retirement is on his mind, sort of. But not just yet as he is already working on his last release, which will bring fans back to the rave-friendly, detail-oriented MC we first came to know. Get a sense of where Mike Skinner is in his life in the exclusive interview below…

The Brit’s off-beat observational style of rapping, blended with his own brew of hip-hop meets electro production, has made for three solid albums that were unlike any other.
