Genre Research

Our genre is hip hop and R'n'B, the term R'n'B originates from rhythm and blues. This genre was created in the 1940's by African Americans and has developed throughout the years. This genre has never had a clear meaning, its been seen as 'black pop' music. However as black pop music changes; it has become a term that is often used define whatever black musical style it is attached to it at specific point in time. the term began to be used to refer to a modern version of soul and funk-influenced pop music.

Record label research

Our song including Angel and Wretch 32, angel is signed to both island records and universal republic. Universal republic is under Universal Music Group which acts as a parent company to many smaller labels. This is common with records labels for example sony have a string of record labels under them such as 'syco'... 'just jam records' and 'sony rca'. Island record also distribute for Universal as they are a part of the same conglomerate (Universal Music Group). Island records is a UK based label where as Universal is Global and therefore will handle his record distribution abroad, particularly in america
