A Grand Don’t Come for Free – The Streets 

Released in 2004, A Grand Don’t Come for Free is the ambitious second album by British artist Mike Skinner under his project The Streets. A concept album at its core, it tells the story of a man navigating life, love, and the mysterious loss of £1,000. Skinner’s fusion of UK garage, hip-hop, and spoken word delivers raw emotional storytelling set against minimalist, home-grown beats. Widely praised for its narrative coherence and everyday realism, it stands as a landmark in UK music history.

Key Highlights  
- Includes chart-topping singles “Fit But You Know It” and “Dry Your Eyes”  
- A genre-defining blend of garage, grime, and British hip-hop  
- Acclaimed for its concept album structure and cinematic narrative arc  
- Considered a cornerstone of 2000s British music culture and storytelling in rap
