Music Inspiration

Professor Green

Professor Green's real name is Stephen Manderson. He is a British rapper and has collaborated with artists such as Lily Allen, Example, Labrinth and Maverick Sabre. Also he has just released his newest album 'At Your Inconviennience' which is a amazing. I like his music because his albums combinds deep lyrics from events in his life with up-beat rap. I will use him as one of my icons when I style my magazine.

Chase & Status

                                                                        

Chase & Status are a British, Electronic and Dubstep music production duo made up of Sam Milton and Will Kennard. They are famous for collaborating with artists such as Plan B, Tinie Tempah, Dizzie Rascal and Cee Lo Green on there most recent album 'No More Idols'. It is difficult to look at there style of fashion because they are producers they are rarely featured in there own music videos. I like there music because they are a music production duo rather then a band or a singer it allows them to have a greater rang of sounds to there songs, also with the incredible artists they have featuring on there songs it makes each song individual unlike any others they have done.

Plan B

Plan B's real name is Ben Drew. He is a British Rapper, Actor, Singer-Song Writer and Film Director. As well as a career in music he has appeared in films such as 'Adulthood' and 'Harry Brown' and in 2012 he will release 'ILL Manors' which is his first film as a director. I think his style is particularly interesting because unlike other rappers and hip hop stars he generally wears suits when he performs. I like his music because he is very individual from how he not only raps but he is a very good soul singer and he combindeds these two qualities when he writes his songs. The music video I have attached is a prime example of his rapping and soul singing, this is also his most successful single as a artist, peaking at number 3 on the UK music chart.

Maverick Sabre

Maverick Sabre, real name Michael Stafford, is an English/Irish Rapper, Vocalist and Songwriter. The types of music he is associated with are Rap, Folk, Soul and R&B. Although he may not be very well known at the minute he has been predicted big prospects for 2012, including his up and coming album 'Lonely Are The Brave' at just age 21. I particularly admire him because he is the first artist to make me admire Folk and Soul music from his own modern twist on it through his acoustic based songs.

Rizzle Kicks

Rizzle Kicks is a British hip-hop duo made up of Jordan Stephens and Harley Alexander-Sule. The pair both attended the Brit school and in 2011 released there debut album 'Stereotypical'. They also release alot of remixes of popular songs where they re-write parts of the songs, the video I attached below is a perfect example of this. I like there style of music because there voices perfectly match each other from how one of them does the harmonies and the other does the rapping. Through this it encorperates R&B and Rap to create there form of hip-hop.
