UK Grime artist websites


The image above and below is a screenshot of Tinchy Stryder, Chipmunk, Wretch32 and N Dubz's homepage of their official websites. These sites contribute to my topic because i am doing an investigation on how UK grime artist influence or have an affect on teenagers, and all their different sites gives us the idea of mainstream UK artist (UK grime artist that have moved on from underground) and how they are representing being successful.

  • There's always a main image or a video of the artist which is aways dominant on the home page as you can see from the screenshots on this post. This relates with my CI because it shows the artist in a positive way by showing their success either with a picture or video. For example the first image above of Tinchy Stryders website has a pictured of his new album.
  • Also there is always a link to buying their albums and mixtapes which gives the teenage audience easy access to the artist music and may imfluence them into buying the albums rather than illegal download.
  • Moreover the fact that you can 'Join the fan club' and share the website on facebook twitter etc, it makes the teenage audience feel more attached with the artist which links with my topic since i am looking at how these UK grime artist influence and have an affect on teenagers.
  • They use formal english with no slang since UK grime may connote of using slang to some people. Also on each artist website they show the institution who they are singed by on the site by giving a brief description of the artist record label showing UK grimes professionalism.
