The Start

Welcome to my new music blog. Today I have started my new piece of coursework and I have been researching the different types of genre that my group maybe considering. Hip Hop, R n B and Grime are the main genres that I will be focusing on. I have also learnt today that our music can't be copy righted and that the video must be at least 4 minutes long. Websites such as unsigned.com, musicmediatracks.com and freeplaymusic.com are where we are looking to extract our music from. However we do have another suggestion where we as group make our own songs. This because we feel that it will be more effective and rewarding as a lot of work would have to be put it.
