THE STREETS The Streets are the newest addition to the already impressive line-up of theINmusic festival 2011. After relasing his final album Computer and Blues and officially retiring The Streets, Mike Skinner announced a tour to promote his fifth album including a show in Zagreb. Mike Skinner, aka the Streets, is a British rapper, musician and record producer from Birmingham. At the end of 2000, he earned his first release when Locked On - already known for the collaboration with bands such as the Artful Dodger and Craig David signed him for the homemade Has It Come to This?. Has It Come to This?" proved to be a breakthrough hit for The Streets, reaching number 18 on the UK charts in October 2001. In the UK, the album was nominated for the Mercury Prize, The NME listed it among their top five albums of 2002, while the band was nominated for best album, best urban act, best breakthrough artist and best British male artist in the 2002 BRIT Awards. After a quiet 2003, Skinner returned with A Grand Don't Come for Free, a record that pushed his production and performance eccentricities to a new level, but also resulted in critical praise, just like his next two albums: 2006's The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living and Everything is Borrowed which followed in 2008. On 7 February 2011, Mike Skinner officially retired the Streets which coincided with the release of 'Computers and Blues' - The Streets fifth and final album.

THE STREETS The Streets je najnovije potvrđeno ime koje se pridružuje dosad objavljenom lineupu INmusic festivala. Nakon što je prije samo mjesec dana izdao svoj posljednji album, zajedno s viješću o povlačenju s glazbene scene, britanski reper Mike Skinner, aka the Streets, kreće na svoju oproštajnu turneju u sklopu koje će jedan od koncerata održati upravo na INmusicu. Ovaj reper, glazbenik i producent iz Birminghama prepoznatljivog naglaska, na britanskoj se glazbenoj sceni predstavlja sa singlom Has It Come to This koji mu 2000. izdaje diskografska kuća Locked On, poznata po suradnji s izvođačima kao što su Artful Dodger i Craig David. The Streets uskoro snima i prvi album Original Pirate Material, koji zahvaljujući savršenoj produkciji i kvalitetnim tekstovima koji reflektiraju život moderne britanske generacije, zauzima posebno mjesto unutar UK garage scene. U razmaku od nekoliko godina slijede albumi A Grand Don't Come For Free, The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living i Everything is Borrowed, koji odišu zanimljivim produkcijskim kombinacijama UK garagea, hip hopa i elektronike kao i Skinnerovim upečatljivim i britkim osvrtima na svakodnevne životne teme. Početkom ove godine, the Streets izdaje svoj peti, a ujedno i posljednji album "Computers and Blues", koji, prema ocjenama kritičara, predstavlja još jedan u nizu njegovih briljantnih uradaka i kojim se na najbolji mogući način oprašta od glazbenog svijeta, stoga će njegov skorašnji nastup u Zagrebu obradovati raznovrsnu publiku INmusic festivala. the-streets.co.uk www.myspace.com/thestreets Diskografija: Original Pirate Material (2002.)
