Second draft of my article

‘Nu’Artist, ‘Nu’Album, ‘Nu’sound

The fresh new artist, Nukidd, aged nineteen is the up and coming rapper and music producer in the grime genre, real name Jason Curtis. Since early 2010, his music could only be heard on pirate radio stations, broadcasting there frequency over the eastern area of London city, where Jason grew up. The young artist lived his childhood in a tower block with his mother, two sisters and his only brother, who was born just a year after he was. At the age of fourteen, Jason’s father left him and his family with out a note or any explanation to why he left, or where he would be heading. The family say that they haven’t heard from him since the day he left. It was not long after Jason’s farther left that he began writing lyrics, one of his earliest pieces, ‘Rapture’, was his first fully written song, he told us that this song represented everything he despised about life and how he just turns a blind eye too it all and gets on with his life and enjoys himself.
One of the questions we know your all thinking, is where did the name Nukidd come from so we decided to ask Nukidd himself, and this is what he told us. "I thought up the name round the time I started writing lyrics, back in the day when I rapped for Eastgrimefm, [Laugh] the pirate station. The inspiration came from when my dad left, I thought it was time for a new start after he had gone, turn over a new leaf, and the fact that i was just a kid at the time. New life, childhood, new kid. But i thought mixing the spelling up a bit seemed a bit more fresh, a bit more interesting to read. So Nukidd it is!"
Nukidd, was discovered by the record label Disturbing London. When one of their producers was listening to the radio he picked up the pirate station that Nukidd sang on, every Thursday evening. Straight away the producer reported back to the record company of this talent and with out Jason even knowing, for about two months, Disturbing London tuned in every Thursday to listen and study his potential. By the Christmas holidays of 2010, the producer who first discovered Nukidd on the radio, decided to contact him and arrange a meeting with the owner of the record company. From that day, the Jason Curtis that his family all knew and loved was about to lead his own future doing something he had a passion for doing and they couldn’t have been happier.
As for Jason himself he turned up at the company building an hour before the meeting took place, anxious to get inside, he even met Tinnie Tempah in the building, there on his first day.

Finally by spring 2011, Jason Curtis, stage name Nukidd was given the record deal with the company Disturbing London and he began work on his first album. Jason told us that when he began writing his album, he wasn’t sure whether to write what the public would enjoy, or just write what he was used to doing and feel it to be more his work, than mainstream, but after he did his homework on past artists of the same genre he was into, he found out that lyrics that come from the heart mean a lot more than “that mainstream bull**** everyone listens too”
Nukidd's new album, Warfair, released on the 25th of January 2012, will be his first full album, featuring his number one single A’state. Jason tells us that he put his heart and soul into this album and when we asked him what to expect from his latest works he answered this, “I put a lot of effort into this album, many of the songs featured on the album were written to question the very morals of modern day society, to challenge the boundaries of what is excepted in the music industry, and what is not. Let’s just say, this is a borderline album.
If you’re looking forward to the bombs dropping on the 25th, email us at Bassfanmail@disturbinlondon.co.uk, where looking forward to seeing your reaction to what we at BASS expect to be a great album to take us into the new year.
