The Streets - Computers & Blues (2011)


Hip Hop, Garage, Birmingham

     Although Hip Hop was primarily spawned in the US, there are plenty of artists keeping the culture alive overseas. The Streets is the stage name of Mike Skinner, a UK rapper based in Birmingham, which apparently serves as a source of inspiration for him.  Really enjoying this album, and I'm slowly getting around to his others.  It's a shame foreign music isn't promoted much here in the US, especially Hip Hop, which seems to be burrowing deep these days. Anyway,  I had a hard time choosing which song to post, so I posted a couple.  Should be more than enough to convince you. If you like these I highly encourage you to check out the rest of the CD. Sounds like encouragement.
