This August, Channel 4 celebrates the contemporary urban arts scene with Street Summer, shining a light on street dance, urban sport, rap/spoken word, hip hop and street art.

Street Summer will see the television premiere of Banksy's film Exit Through the Gift Shop, as well as Graffiti War, which lifts the lid on the artistic beef between graff writers and street artists.

Concrete Circus brings together the hottest names in urban sports with viral film-makers to capture snapshots of the scene. Krump, hip hop, b-boy and parkour collide on the night-time streets of London in One Man Walking, encouraging you to see the city with new eyes.

Idris Elba fronts How Hip Hop Changed the World, counting down the defining moments in street music and culture from the last 35 years with archive material, seminal tracks and insight from an all-star cast that includes Snoop Dogg and Tinchy Stryder.

Three-part series StreetDance tells the story of up-and-coming street dance crews at the Street Dance XXL UK Championship.

In Life of Rhyme, acclaimed MC Akala explores the lyrical art of rap, and the generation who choose to express themselves through poetry, rhyme and meter.
