Grime, a unique mash-up of musical influences, started in East London around 15 years ago, and is now more popular than ever. It used to be over ran by male artists but now there are new female artists. The two top ones are lady leashurr and paigey cakey.

Lady is a rapper and singer best known for her "Queen's Speech" series of songs and videos. She initially gained fame through her critically-acclaimed mixtapes, winning Best Female at the 2011 Official Mixtape awards. She is also known for her work on the track "Wonky" by the electronic dance duo Orbital.

Paigey cakey is a Multi-talented artist who's found success as both a rap artist and a film and television actress. She released a debut EP called The First Paige and has been featured in films such as Attack the Block and The Legacy.

This movement of female artists from east London will influence more female artists to make grime music in the east. Since women never was in grime before, it shows that they can become great music artists again the male rappers like jhus and kojo funds.

Tion wayne ft Afro B Evaluation 

In our music video the purpose was to entertain our audience by creating a story, behind the music video. The aim was to show Tion wanyne and Afro B taking their girlfriends out to luxury places. 

This is when we decided to film in canary warf because the scenery is more posh and luxury. The clothing that our actors wore showed that the video was about luxury things and places. We done this because the lyrics in the video are about these things.

The target audience are young adults and teens, because the song is more suited for that age group and our video is supposed to inspire them to treat their girlfriends like that and work hard to get the same lifestyle as Tion Wanye and Afro B. It also shows them loving their girlfriends and showing affection for them, this shows our audience how to treat a loved one. 

Our original idea was to film in college in the photography studio. This idea was soon erased because it wouldn't of shown the point/idea to the audience very well. So we decide on going to canary warf.

We had strengths and weaknesses which we had to tackle in order to get the video done in time. Our strengths were that we was very organised as a group in the pre-production stage, as we assigned everyone in the group to get a task done. We organised the characters and picked who would suit the role of the character in the video and that person would have to revise the song lyrics for the video shoot. We had two camera men, this meant we had a lot of different angles to play around with for the video. 

The weaknesses is that the camera is out of focus most of the time in the music video and also we hardly included lip syncing it was mainly the story. The audience feedback was good, they liked the visuals and the location. They said we can improve on the transitions because we used too much and more lip syncing.

In editing we used different techniques and transitions to make the music video more entertaining. we used transitions to go from one scene to another such as film dissolves, cross fade, fade, page slide and the simple cut. We also had to sort out the clips before we used them by creating a folder for the clips we need and deleting the rubbish clips that we don't need this helped us edit more effectively we used premier pro, i found it easy to edit because i am use to editing my own things at home, however some people in our group wasn't strong with it so we had to help each other out in editing  

Altogether out music video was good and i am happy with the end product.

Grime, a unique mash-up of musical influences, started in East London around 15 years ago, and is now more popular than ever.

There are big rappers in the east of London which creates beef because every rapper wants to be the best. Jhus and Kojo funds are the top dogs in the east side, however they have beef with each other. It didn't start in music, however it was mainly area gang beef. But they took it to music and made diss tracks on each other. This is good for the music industry because they are giving each other popularity and making good music.

However this could effect the young generation of music before they will have to chose a side and they might be influenced my jhus and kojo to be in gangs and make disstracks on each other, which may get out of hand.

Jhus is a 21 year old east london rapper. His debut title hit the east london with advertisements on westfield billboard, yet the sound of his music is not to be confused with plain old grime. Jhus leads a the group of MCs who blend the genre of a distinctly UK flow with bashment and afrobeat. In the album common sense, J Hus shows us about partying, chasing girls and being a "bouf daddy" like one of his song titles. J Hus is a motivational speaker shown in his music too. The gunshot-littered claritin and goodies are far harder than any recent grime tracks with its upbeat tempo which really banged.

Kojo Funds is an emerging artist redefining the music genre lines. Hailing from East London, where the likes of Dizzee Rascal, Kano, Lethal B & Wiley have emerged from, he is creating a major buzz in the music scene. His sound can be described as AfroSwing. He can go from Grime to R&B in a flash without breaking the listeners ear drums whilst doing so. The growth of the artist from ‘Want From Me’ to ‘Fine Wine’ demonstrates his artistic ability. With “Dun Talkin’’ a collaboration with Abra Cadabra (Mobo 2016 Best Song Winner), creating a stir in the UK and beyond, the world is on notice for what this talented young man is ready to showcase.

Jhus is a 21 year old east london rapper. His debut title hit the east london with advertisements on westfield billboard, yet the sound of his music is not to be confused with plain old grime.

The gunshot-littered claritin and goodies are far harder than any recent grime tracks with its upbeat tempo which really banged.

for his newest music video common sense he is standing in the middle of a cold aircraft hangar on the outskirts of bedford. the star of the uk rap scene is shooting for his next single common sense, he is watching two girls being filmed as they scramble for £50 notes being blow through the air by an electric fan. 

"Shall we get them to play fight" he asks excitedly. Before he finishes his sentence, one of the girls topples over and crashes into a polystyrene board. "Is she OK? Are you ok? shit, tell her to take her heels off! Shall we stop?"

Clearly there is two sides to J hus. He spent some time in prison, in 3024 and in 2015, he is extremely polite. He takes hard edged sound of road rap and mixes t with some of grime's cheeky humour. "im an ugly man making sexy money". 

He grew up muslim on an estate in stratford, Hus didn't share the musical education many of his rap peers had at church. instead, the second generation british gambian came to music via his mum and stepdad playing african music and beenie man at home. In the school playground they'd play around and you'd have to go home, write your bars and come and clash the next day, Here he developed his rap skills.

East London grime is becoming very popular with artists such as J Hus, Paige cakey, Kojo funds and Yxng bane making top chart breaking music putting the east on the map. This effects the youth because we are then inspired to become a music artist. But it is sometimes hard for us to know where to start, so in this magazine I will be show you all how to start off making music.

1.     Equipment

You guys can buy cheap equipment from amazon, set it up at home and make a mini home studio. You will need a mic, headphone, a keyboard, cables, speakers, a laptop/computer, pop filter and DAW (digital audio workstation) if you are confused on what DAW is it is just a music software were you can record audio and make music, it is one of the most important things.

2.     Beat/music

You can make beats by yourself but if you don’t know how to do that there are plenty of places to get free beats online from sites such as YouTube and sound cloud. Next is the lyrics you will have to put your thinking caps on here and think of lyrics to build a song.

3.     Record/Produce

Finally you can record and produce your music. Once you got your equipment set up and your beats/lyrics start recording your music. To produce you music and get it out there publish it on websites/apps like YouTube and sound cloud. Promote your music to your friends, family and social media such as Facebook, Instagram and snapchat

However not everyone can afford to buy all this equipment to make music. But in east London there are lots of studios that cost little to use. Frenfords is a sports youth club that also has a recording studio in it, that you can use for £5. The address is The Jack Carter Centre, The Drive, Ilford IG1 3PS, UK. There are more around and to find them just search in google “East London music recording studios”
