Man you are wonderful.

The purest, the fact he's recording this in a front room and still looking like his regular self, amen to u brother

Love it. I'm still making homemade bongs using my engineering degree

This is true poetry. I hope my children can enjoy Mick’s musical journey like I have.

That little d double e "ouhhh" made me smile man

Three days of playing this in the morning here in Brooklyn. Cannot stop the tears from falling. Thank you

I’ll never get bored of that voice

This is a brilliant freestyle but when has Mike Skinner ever disappointed. It would never happen!

Mike is a such a wordsmith, very rarely disappoints

Mike still has it... crazy how much times has gone by and he still vibes like he’s just released Original Pirate Material, love you man.

“There’s police tape on the play area swings in my mood”...here in Melbourne where we have curfew and can’t leave home even to visit family those lyrics cut close to the bone. Mike you ALWAYS speak for the common man.

Nostalgia hitting me hard Loved this guy, since I was a kid

All these years and as I, a 44 year old man, have yet to be disappointed by your lyrics.

Musical legend. 20 years on and still producing quality.

Your music has gotten me through so much heavy shit. Only makes sense you'd be around to get us through this. Come back to the states mate.

thankyou for making the hair on my neck stand up ... the streets pure street poet

Mike's music was my lifeblood as a 20 something in London many years ago. I listened to the new album last night. This song is transcendent, the best of his new releases IMO

Nothing I can write can convey how amazing this, or Mike Skinner is. Real OG and goat. No one can deliver meanings and ideas like this. Poetry with a tempo.

I remember being so proud of Original Pirate Material, I took it out to my friends in Serbia as a voice of who we are as a country, the struggles and the beauty but mostly the frank and direct honesty. Now it's many years later, I'm happily settled in Europe again and this music is still one of the nearest things I get to waving in lieu of a flag for my homeland..

So fuckin happy to have you back mike. The king of English... "rap".. "story telling"... "philosophy".. "lyrical imagery"... there will never be anyone like you... thank you.

This is a real return to form and better than anything on the mixtape I think.

It does not seem to matter what he puts out it never fails to strike a chord with me. The guy is a poet.

Yes Mike, this is the one. Beautiful words, poignant, great beats, feeling it.

I've missed Mike's work for years. Been replaying the same records for years. Welcome back.

Been playing this on repeat since Friday. Might be the best you've ever done, mate. Thank you for providing a soundtrack to my life

America plays out like Rome on fast forward.

There's only 3 certaintys in life. People live, people die and the third is Mike inspiring generations to come

Sometimes you gotta sit back put your streets playlist on and crack open a can whilst smoking a j and relax 😎🇬🇧👌

The streets : come back mike Mike : the streets i never left.

Gets more and more relevant as the days pass. This ain’t a freestyle , its a living organism. Focus on dem silver linings family!

Oh My Days !!! This is pure class. So happy to see Mike back at it again.

Put this on spotify mike This is you at your best

37 now and been listening from day one. This guy is actually a genius beyond words.

Cheers for this today from a weary woman who lives Stateside. Love to ALL.

U R Tha King Of Tha Streets...We Luv U Art......

Phenomenal Mike lad. Been an actual musical hero of mine for a long time. You make it so easy and it's very simple to connect to you. The tempo switch up was fantastic. Keep doing what you do! Still great.

This needs to be the direction of any album he comes out with. Something Kate Tempest-like. Something that emphasises his poetry, something inward.

This needs to be on Spotify! Amazing.

"Police tape on the play area, swings in my mood". Love this joint

That voice brings back so many memories.

Mike the Poet. This was simply amazing. 🙌🏼

These are the vibes I need to keep me going 💯❤️

Need this on Spotify! I also want that T.

Listened to the streets since i was a baby man grew up with my dad listening to him.. listen to him all the time now still at 23. Mikes nuff real🙌🏻👊🏻💯💯

If you don't realise how utterly impossible and marvellous this is then you are not alive; this is being alive. This is life.

I've always loved 'the streets' I remember when I used to just breeze through on road daily with the album 'A Grand Don't come for free ' blasting in my ears, a legendary album, even now !

CAN NOT WAAAAIT FOR THIS ALBUM 🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽💯

'i cant wait till i cant feel my face in the spot, oooo' bar of 2021

Mike has always just spoke in aphorisms, so much meaning, we love you Mike 🖤

Having Mike Skinner sit in my living room would be cool.

You're a legend mate you're music means alot too me 😢❤️

"Original pirate material, Lockdown your area" he was way ahead of things lol

Mike skinner was put on this planet for a reason👏🏻

Riddim is FIRE still... love this guy. Amazing

Best and most subtle use of an Organ I have heard since Ten Sharp! Each piece a tiny masterpiece and a delicious thought-provoking float downstream as my face is momentarily hit by the sunlight then cooled by the shade as I pass slowly between the trees on the bank. From one musician to another, if ever you should have the misfortune to find yourself in Northern France I will cook you the best Chicken Shaslik with Mushroom Pilau with homemade Chapatti's on earth, and we can twist some tunes. Nice one Mr Skinner... always a breath of fresh air in a forest of cookie-cutter conformity. BRAVO 🏆🇬🇧

Please put this out on Apple Music/Spotify!!! 🙌🙌🙌

Your music helps me get through the ups and downs of life. Thanks for everything Mike.

Mother Nature knows us, she made us make machines, we blocked her on insta but will have to face her in our dreams

Love this song, thanks Mike, appreciate it

The Streets forever relaxing me

Well, this just made my day a whole lot better! Thanks Mike!

Beautifully Poetic

Beautiful just beautiful the streets make your heart feel the pain and your soul feel the joy keep the faith everybody everywhere always 🎶🎵🎧💟

Your lyrics never fail to reach every part of my soul. After going through "difficult times" this song hit every nerve. Hoping to come see you live in Newmarket for my birthday... Absolute lyrical genius.

Forget music, its amazing poetry..._.Soooo damn cool

Some great lines here, it seems like Mike's music is coming into a new phase. I get the feeling there could be some powerful stuff around the corner

Nice words and such a nice mellow background tune. Lots of love in this difficult time. In some way we are each feeling the worlds pain. Mother nature has told us all to slow down. Some have listened, others knew and some people just have not got a clue. Either way I certainly agree with yr t shirt. Much love to you brother and much love to the streets x

Thanks Mike. You've saved many a life. 💚 X

It’s great to hear your songs again!

Still banging this... 🐐

You touch my heart since 2002. Unbelievable!

Mike skinner is a fucking legend an actual real one

Just listened on repeat about 10 times. Great beat! Sounds good in the car to.Thank you

This needs to be on the album.... This is 2020 condensed and fed through the speakers

Aww I’m glad I’ve got my notifications on

This one hits so hard...

So as my lockdown comes to an end, this feels so fitting. To tell the truth, personally, it’s been tough, Deep lows and mad highs! Mike always sums it up well ❤️

Spoken from the heart, where it straight goes in! ❤️🙏

Listened to this for the last 5 days on repeat. My partner of 10 years left me and my 3 kids during this shite time, and this just seems to help.

Real hope this goes up on streaming sites! Classic mike

So much talent

Love this we need more of these pure genius 💫😊

So nice to have you back Mike you've been missed big me mate! Can't wait for the album/ film 👌

Always relevant and so real. Thanks for everything Mike, been like a big brother to me all these years! X

So good to hear your voice again mate🙌 the sound of my 20's. Great freestyle.

Dude's a philosopher.

I've listened to this for some time now and the man is a genius he's never compromised or sold out.

'Oouuuu' without making shit up like some people do to try and get the attention of people I want say thank you mike. A grand don't come for free was the first album I ever owned at the age of 5 and since then I've loved everything you've done, the fact you guys have been back is fucking amazing, despite the time out your music is still as relevant as ever, still makes me feel like it was written for and about me sometimes you're just that good and capturing movements and putting them in words. I listened to the streets as a child and now as an adult to have new streets music and still feel the same way about it is amazing to me... wave god number 1

Beautiful Mike. True dat.

Quality track feeling these lyrics 💜 stay blessed Love and light to you 💜

Good to have The Streets back.

Man's a modern day poet👌

This is my song of the year. Speaks the truth and no shite. Will always come back to this.

When we were all in lockdown the sky was magnificent true cut pollution leave them cars in the garage 🐕🐾🐾🐾🚶

Cher Mike Skinner just take over game over game over.

Absolutely love this

Brilliant. Looking forward to listening to the new album

*UK LEGEND.*

Love this man been listening since never went to church and the irony of it all this man is a word Smith he paints pictures with lyrics

Still too ahead of his time our Mike. 💚
