Under his alias The Streets, Mike Skinner became one of Britain’s most successful rappers and DJs. He has now directed his first film, accompanied by an album and tour. He spoke to Duncan Seaman.
Having seemingly kept a low profile for the past decade, Mike Skinner is well aware that his reappearance on stage, screen and vinyl is likely to represent – at least to the casual observer – a new era for his long-running music project The Streets. “I think it sort of looks that way to people,” concedes the 45-year-old rapper, songwriter, producer and DJ in a video call with The Yorkshire Post.
” The diverse nature of the songs – that even at one point embrace ragtime jazz – is reflection of both the need to fit particular scenes in the film and a measure of how The Streets has evolved. “It’s a very natural evolution of The Streets, and it is the music that I love. It’s influenced by being a DJ a lot,” Skinner says. “If I’d just been coming up with an album on its own, I think it would’ve felt like there was more pressure, but it actually felt like a relief.
