I wrote my feature on how my made up artist has came to fame and had to work for it. I did it like this as i felt the viewer could relate to it more this way, because most people have to work for what they want.

   "Dee’s new album comes out this week and with his 3 number 1 singles already this year, his debut album is tipped to
   top the christmas charts this december. Knowing all this, us at HYPE have managed to track Dee down for an exclusive interview about his debut album and his rise to fame on top of the UK Grime scene. HYPE asked Dee about how he managed to come from nothing and gain everything in a year. Dee answered:
   “well practise was everything ya’no, me and my man DJ Skee were making mixtapes in his cellar from back in the day, ya’no , when we was like 14. We kept making them and making them till we was like, I dunno, 17 - 18 and this guy from this record company found me rapping in a battle against Devlin, you know him ? everybody knows Dev, done some big things this year.”
“Yer his new albums good” I answered.
   “Yer man, let you hair down in London city, ha, but yer, the record guy said bring ya’ tapes and come down to the company, which I did and I got signed, this was around like... 2006.”
“So how comes it took you 4 years to get your album out?” I asked.
   “The fools at the album company would’nt push my album saying that this S**T would’nt sell and that, but all I can say is who’s laughing now! I left them after about a year and a half and went to saty with my mate DJ Skee who had a massive set up in his yard in America. We stayed up all day and night perfecting my tracks, re-writing verse’s and song’s and also writing new tracks. We did this till we thought we had made a massive killer album, but me and Skee thought bigger tryna’ find a record label to back it. At the end of 2008 abd the begginning of 2009, Warner music group signed me to back the album they loved it and thought it could be the new sound of 2010.”
“They were right The Project is being called already the biggest and most anticipated album of 2010 and with 3 number2’s under your belt, your the one everyone is watching! and your only 21! Enjoying the presure?” I asked.
   “Haha im loving it Bruv, I shine under pressure! Haha but narr bruv it’s been hard and all that but know im on top and everyone knows it!”
“Well not giving much away but on page 110, HYPE have put together A list of the top 25 singles and albums of the year and you have done pretty well.” I stated.
   “Ahhh have I? Well I am great... Ha narr yer the album, well Warner signed us and the album still had no name but they hooked me up with everyone I calaborated with on it, which realy helped improve the album. They got Tinie, Jodie Conor, Wiley and everyone else on there to come and record. It was so much hard work man, but it was so worth it. I mean I was in A club the other week just jamming to a remix of my song and just seeing everyone going mental over it was just amazing man, amazing, words can’t describe ya’no.”
“How did you pick the name in the end?” I asked.
   “Ahh well it just came to me, I was like the road, narrr, Troubled times PSSSSHHTT, The Project, yer man that sounds good ! but like I have said it’s been a long journey and it’s been hard but its all been so worth it...”
