Notoriously outspoken British rapper Mike The Streets Skinner, has announced a series of live dates in the States which includes an appearance on the country's hugely popular though ultra-mainstream chat-show Tonight with Jay Leno.

The fiercely articulate and hugely talented street poet is renowned for speaking honestly in both his lyrics and interviews, which could presumably prove embarrassing if Leno probes him too deeply.

"In answer to your question I have done smack and crack," Skinner told Q Magazine early last year.

"But it's not something that I think is very good. Well, crack's good."
