Album cover drafts

These are the possible designs that we have collectively drafted:



After considering the positives and negatives for each of our drafts,we as a group chose to use design three due to the fact that it is a representation of the direction we want to take with our artist. We want it to feel like our artist is bringing a mainstream feel to grime music that usually a niche genre that doesn't get much recognition, and we have chosen to do this using colours.

Ideas for the video!

Video Idea!

 

 

As a group we discussed the fact that there are many stereotypes surrounding our choice of track due to the fact that the genre is grime, because of this we have chosen to subvert these stereotypes through our video whilst still having some genre influence.
The video is going to incorporate a picture montage that shows the artists journey through making it as an artist similar to the Kayne West 'Through the wire' video where he has the moving images portraying various parts of his journey. this mainly is to help the genre still be recognisable as well as the fact its going to portray a different kind of artist for the audience to see making his character more three dimensional in the sense that as an audience we are allowed to see some emotion through out the journey and where the performer has come from allowing it to be easier to relate to.
Taking more inspiration from the artist Kayne West we have decided to include animation to create a fun and relevant video that doesn't necessarily adhere to the stereotypes of grime as as genre. Animation would include text and images to represent what the performer is rapping about.

Song Lyrics

 

Hey, hey ay yo it's my time,

living it up and when the sun shines

see me with my homies just having a fun time

rapping in a circle, dropping funny punch lines

the good days always seem to rush by

i just wanna stay young so i can kick back

playing footy in the park buss a flip flap

Tick Tack man hes whack send the bruddah home

and if he comes back then we'll knock him off his throne

sipping lemonade you know that it's Sicilian

i love the holidays every days brilliant

and you know that i don't boast too much but if your talking bout the money then I'm gonna make a million

bringing out tights tracks i lay the bars down

then i let my train move forward I'm on the right track

I'm gonna rise up shine like a bright star

look down on the fakes then i fly past

look at my life man i day dream daily, feeling kinda lazy dreams got me crazy

ima regular guy but i really do skate so Ive been on my grind

ima tryna bring a new sound to the underground of the UK

know that I'm out here fighting for the crown of the scene

i know I'm only 17 but i know theres better things out in the world for me

so ima keep smiling, shining, rhyming

until i reach the top, yo i gotta keep climbing

but then again they say its all about the timing

so love me or hate me ima do my thing

because I'm married to the dream

didn't wanna be the best man

looking down with a birds eye view bev gang

so when life gets hard and you feel weak

pick yourself up live free

ima actor and a artist aiming for the top

no matter what my past is

and lately Ive been really busy

but when things are looking calm find me skating up in izzy

i ain't into that hardcore road life

i wanna live good and live free with no strife

i never mind my enemies, who wanna stay mad at me

i wanna make money to provide for my family

but nothing comes easy

you gotta persevere and keep faith bro believe me

i made a change to my attitude

so when I'm on stage all ma fans show me gratitude

and that's all for the better

and now i dress clean slim jeans and a sweater

a nine to five is selling you soul

so i pray for success and be bless when I'm old

ahh

free trip

so chef

chev
