This next album i will be looking which is called 'microphone champion' is by an grime artist called skepta (Joseph junior Adenuga) who is from Tottenham London, he started his career with his brother JME (Jamie Adenuga) and was then known shortly through out most of London and then the UK with such songs released with other grime artists like, 'too many man' and 'private cellar' which featured a lot of his meridian walk crew from Tottenham, but he has worked with other artist such as Wiley, Chipmunk, Tinchey Stryder, N-dubz and Jay Sean.
The song that i will be looking at from this artist is 'sunglasses at night' this song is basically about again same as the first one a boy wanting a girl from a quote of the song 'roses are red violets are blue you know i got my eyes on you'.

This is the front cover of the album I'm looking at 'microphone champion' from the artist skepta. The whole meaning of 'microphone champion' was from him and another member of his group hes in 'boy better know' Wiley, who realised an album called race against time and the whole boxing thing is because they fell out and Wiley left 'boy better know' and went back to 'roll deep' so they were battling for the top spot of the album charts.
The front of the album cover is 'skepta' with boxing gloves on in a set position to fight with his name on a plaster across the screen in bold writing with the title of the album at the bottom in italics, the fact that the person him self looks focused on what his job is intend, that fact on the front cover is sweating might give an image that he worked for his album and his image and the fact hes wearing boxing gloves shows he has fought hard for wear hes at in life and that he is fighting his rival 'Wiley'. His name being on a plaster 'Skepta' might show like hes the one from how he can heal people like Jesus, showing he can change people as well. The fact his title 'microphone champion' is in Italics shows his lyrics inside the songs might mean something and are of an art maybe that his a lyrical king from the 'champion' part.


The inside of the album cover is both skepta and his rival Wiley with there picture of the 'racing against time in there boxing match to see who wins the number 1 spot on the urban 20 albums hit list, there both wearing the typical conventions of a boxing match like blue and red because before a fight you get told what corner your in a the mostly common colours used are red and blue, they have both also got the focused look in there faces with the set positions on with the hands. The back ground is a gym most likely where they fight.

The back of the album cover is quite simple and not as complexed and got a meaning behind them like the front and inside cover, its just plain white tiles everywhere with the songs listed down the left hand side in black outlined writing with a plaster in saying 'boy better know' in gold Writing which could be indicating they are looking for it to get a gold platinum album, wishing that it makes it big. The song i will be looking at is track 17.








The poster of the album is of him looking serious again probably sending out a message for Wiley or his 'haters' saying that what he is doing is meaningful and he wants to show that this album is going to be big and challenges people about it, there is know advertisement on this poster because its mainly a grime artist so he wont have such a big music industry behind him in the sense of recording studios and etc because they do a lot themselves and promote everything through videos on a website http://www.grimedaily.com/ or http://www.youtube.com/
