+ more to be announced

A legend of UK hip hop, what can be said about Skinnyman that you haven't heard as a rumour already?

Originating from Leeds, Skinny moved to North London when he was 5. Finding a melting pot of cultures suddenly on his doorstep Skinny took to the streets, immersing himself primarily in the musical culture of reggae and dancehall whilst at home loving the soulful sounds coming from his mum's record player.

A natural talent for running his mouth off (later to be known as rapping),

"Council Estate of Mind' has finally landed and it's a triumph. A dizzying paranoid record littered with grimey-sharp rhymes and Kanye West-rivaling production, it's up there with Dizzee's new album and Mike Skinner's 'A Grand Don't Come For Free' as one of the street records of the year". - NME.

"Council Estate of Mind' is probably the most hard-hitting, totally conceived debut of the years so far. And for that SkinnyMan, we salute you". - Hip-Hop Connection. Album of the month.

"the best album that UK hip-hop's had to offer for years"- Touch. 5 out of 5, album of the month

Also on 19 October...   Also in United Kingdom...
