As part of this journey we occasionally do a deep dive into a great album and pick out 10 things which we think make it so memorable. With the hope, it might inspire our album. The album we picked this time is A Grand Don't Come for Free by The Streets, described as a British Rap Opera, it is a truly unique piece of art. In summary, the 10 we love things are: 1) It’s the ultimate concept album… 2) …but the songs work on their own merit 3) Wonderfully British 4) Humour 5) Brilliantly mundane 6) Vulnerability/honesty 7) Brilliant conveyance of internal monologue 8) Inventive storytelling formats 9) Versatile soundtrack 10) Blurring of genres As this is a review an analysis podcast the music is used under fair use license
