What can be said about Skinny Man that you haven't heard as a rumor 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), Skinny Man soon built up a reputation for being a talented lyricist, but it was his reputation for being in trouble with the police that grew even bigger. Skinny eventually signed a deal with Talkin? Loud and completed a handful of album tracks whilst at the label. Skinny is looking forward to a year of touring with DJ Flip and will played Glastonbury summer ?04 as well as supporting The Streets at Brixton Academy..
