This coincided with the rise of a new urban music genre, which later became popularly referred to as Grime. Founding editor-in-chief was Matt Mason, who later wrote ''The Pirate's Dilemma'' (2008).〔( Q&A: Matt Mason ), ''.net magazine'', February 5, 2008.〕 ''RWD Magazine'' provided a platform for emerging unsigned artists to get their names and their faces into every popular underground music outlet. This works by aspiring artists paying to feature within the magazine. This may not seem very desirable at first, but the magazine's healthy distribution and circulation makes this more attractive. The magazine enjoys a relatively healthy distribution and circulation as readers can pick up the magazine for free. This new platform (along with music channel Channel U TV) appealed to many aspiring artists from the grime scene and allowed them to do independently what they could have previously only done with the backing of a major record label. The popularity with the physical paper magazine soon spread online to its website. Its official website was buoyed by a popular forum, the most central point being the Grime Music Forum. This forum allows for the discussion of everything to do with the grime scene and regularly enjoys visits from big names in the Grime scene who occasionally also post. ''RWD Magazine'' recently celebrated 100 issues. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「RWD Magazine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
