Today, I will host two music videos, amd I will:

1) Sum up what the video is tring to tell us about the artist.
2) Explain what sort of audience it appeals to.

Firstly, I will start off by hosting the video called 'Over The Top' by Grime MC Skepta.

This video is trying to tell us that Skepta loves making money, and says that he likes The Queen looks pretty in pink referring to £50 notes. This gives us a overall look that Skepta likes making money. The typical audience to listen to this are 'hustlers' who likes to make money whatever the cost.

Secondly I have picked a music video called 'Celebrate That' by Roll Deep.

The Video is trying to tell us Roll Deep want to celebrate because their album 'In At The Deep End' has went platinum. So they celebrating by Drinking alcohol and having sex. The audience that would listen to this is people that would want to have a good time and just celebrate life and what they have accomplished.

How are musicians are promoted into different media?
The Artist That I have picked to be an example of promotion into different media is Skepta.

Skepta has promoted his music using different types of media,such as Music Videos, interviews, album covers/art.Recently he has released a song with fellow Artists N-Dubz called So Alive, This song has recieved much attention throughout magazines and radio. Earlier this month, Skepta had been interviewed to talk about this new song and also his new album 'Doin It Again'. Skepta has announced that he will be on tour to promote his album 'Doin It Again' across the country.

This is the Album Art for 'Doin It Again'.

This is an interview discussing a the upcoming album. Please note that this interview does not talk about the song 'So Alive' with N Dubz.
