Final Song Choice

Artist: Jehst
Song Title: England

The reason we chose this song was the fact that it provided a good platform for creativity compared to the other song. 'England' is a song that looks at the state of life in modern day England with specific references to London. The song is so direct and precise with its message that we must make a narrative, and due to the history of Hip Hop, fans are more used to a narrative video so it seemed a more practical.

Song Choice 2

Artist: Fliptrix
Song Title: Graffiti Won't Die
