The Streets
A Grand Don't Come For Free is the acclaimed 2004 concept album from UK garage and hip-hop pioneer Mike Skinner, operating under his moniker The Streets. Following his groundbreaking debut Original Pirate Material, this sophomore effort tells a compelling, interconnected narrative following a turbulent period in a young man's life. Centered around a missing grand (£1,000), a turbulent relationship, a lost jacket, and an unexpected twist ending.
This double vinyl LP pressing is presented on 180 gram heavyweight wax, housed in a gatefold jacket with original inner sleeves and lyric details. This format enhances Skinner's distinctive production style, pairing lo-fi electronic beats, acoustic guitar riffs, and brass samples with his razor-sharp, everyday spoken-word lyricism.
The 11 track storyline features some of Skinner’s most iconic work, including the UK #1 single "Dry Your Eyes", the driving garage anthem "Fit But You Know It", "Blinded by the Lights", and the cinematic album opener "It Was Supposed to Be So Easy".
A landmark moment for UK rap, garage, and indie culture, A Grand Don't Come For Free is an essential physical piece for your vinyl collection.
