Questionnaire

Proposal

The genre I have chosen to do is hip-hop music from the late 80s to the mid 90s. The target audience will be for mainly men aged from approximately 20-35. However it will appeal to some women because the music from that era appealed to both genders. I think there is a gap in the market because no magazine is focused mainly on the past despite many people claiming those years were the best. Also I intend to answer the question ‘Where are they now?’ allowing people to find out where their beloved musicians have disappeared to.
