Ill Manors soundtrack research-

The Ill manors soundtrack is a British protest song about the riots that occurred all across England in 2011. The soundtrack was produced by the singer/songwriter Ben Drew also know as Plan B who is also the director of the movie Ill Manors. The track was released in the United Kingdom on 25 March 2012. Ill Manors received mostly positive reviews from music critics and peaked at number six on the UK Singles Chart. In October 2012, the song won the Q Award for Best Track. The tracks record label is Atlantic Records. Atlantic Records (Atlantic Recording Corporation) is an American record label best known for its numerous recordings of rhythm and blues, rock and roll, jazz, and hip hop

The whole idea or objective of the track was to inform society about the issue with today's youth and Plan B blames this on politics and society throughout the track. Plan B's perception of "society's failure to nurture its disadvantaged youth." However, as well as inform the audience the track also attempts to promote the ill manors movie from the music video which is a unique way to do so but has been criticised on numerous of occasions for supporting the stereotype that has been created by society and only giving society more of a valid reason and chance to target the troubled youth in estates. The music video puts across a very aggressive and violent image towards the youth so even though it has gained awards it has also equally gained hate and critics.

The song was first played on BBC Radio 1 on 27 February 2012. and immediately after was available for streaming online on YouTube and Soundcloud and this was a way to promote the movie itself and was successful in doing so. This is because it allowed Plan B's fans to recognize and realise the movie if they haven't already. The single was released as a digital download on 25 March 2012.

Overall, the soundtrack and music video both done very well and succeeded in following its purpose which is to promote the movie and inform people on the problems with damaged youth in society today.
