2nd article

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.

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”

Proposal

My articles with be on music culture of east London were I will be informing and entertaining my audience about different music artists that come from east London. I will be talking about their background, how they became famous, there songs and beef that some artists from east may have with each other. I will be also talking about how to start making your own music in east London for the youth. 

The first article will be an E-magazine which means it will be online, this is good for the magazine because it is aimed at the youth and they can access the magazine easily. There will also be a printed version which will you will be able to get in stores in east London. The cost will be low since the target audience is young. It will entertain the audience as well as inform and provide a service. The target audience is 16 - 21, this is the primary audience. The secondary audience is older people who want to read about the artists from east. Because I want to help people from east that want to make music but don't know where to start. I will suggest youth clubs that have music studios and different music studios in east, the equipment you will need and location.

The second article a blog this is good because my target audience is 16 – 21 people this age range normally have phones so they can access the blog easily. In the blog the purpose is more to inform and educate. It will have writing about how to become an artist in east. It will have links to different music studios and it will have how to guide. The blog will have information about how much money to youth spend on music and the views of the artists songs. The different artists will be from east as well so people from east will easily recognize them. The resource I need will just be a computer to make the blog and post it online. I will add videos in the blog so the audience can interact with my blog. It will appeal to both genders because there will be female artists from east and male.

The graphic that will be in both articles will be made on Photoshop so it will look professional and well done. For this I will need a computer with Photoshop on it. The graphics will consist of the title, Background, layout and the borders.
