The song we are using in our music video is titled ‘When we Make it’ by Krysis, Crucial and Phantom is categorised under the genre UK Hip hop. UK hip hop originated from the New York hip hop scene, similar to grime. One of the first UK Hip hop record labels that were responsible for recognition in underground UK hip hop artists was created in 1986. It was called Music of life by Simon Harris. From this label Derek B was discovered, he was the first UK rapper to become a huge success in the charts. From this a whole variety of artists emerged and the introduction to electronic music was greatly influenced by hip hop and UK garage. Undergoing this, an upheaval of UK Grime rappers emerged from this, to name a few:
 |
| Bashy |
 |
| Kano |
 |
| Tinie Tempah |
Recent commercial artists such as Ndubz:
Dizzie Rascal:
and Tinchy Stryder :
were all heavily influenced by the UK Hip hop scene too however, they are now categorized under the pop genre. Seeing as hip hop as a whole is greatly loved and favoritised by the public and that the UK hip hop scene was influenced by the American hip hop scene’ together the similar scenes are heavily influential on their audience which results to the hip hop scene being successful as a whole.
Even though the majority of the UK hip hop scene is made up of male artist, this is a sexist stereotype that is publicized. Female artist have a great contribution to the UK hip hop scene. Artists that rap and sing such as:
Estelle:
and Ms. Dynamite:
both have great chart success; they’ve defeated the sexist stereotype and have become hugely popular.
