Because Sometimes I'm Late: The Steets -- "Trust Me"

I honestly had no clue who The Streets was before this morning. I guess I am just not "cool" enough to like it, but HA! I found him! Take that British rap fans... Yeah.. I am not funny sometimes. Anyway, Mike Skinner, a.k.a. The Streets, is a British rapper who I just got to hear for the first time this morning and I can say that I am already in love. His flow along with his fantastic, fun, but never cheesy production makes for some serious eargasms. I have been listening to his new album, Computers and Blues, all day and I can't get enough of it. The first single from the album, which dropped in late 2010 (hence the title of this post), "Trust Me," is a clear highlight for me. It's the perfect combination of jovial production and super sprightly rapping. Just great. Seriously, if you don't like this song you don't know anything... or you just don't like Brits rapping. The latter makes much more sense to me.
