Going into this task i believe we had an advantage as i was in contact with several producers and artistic people alike who make music.
Soundcloud
Soundcloud was a site i was already familiar with, i already had an account of which i shared music on. I also use this platform to interact with other artists and it's convinient as it is just so simple to use and free although recently it introduced a new upgraded feature that restricts some professional songs unless you pay for the 'full' version, which was an annoyance as the whole point of Soundcloud was to give amateur artists a platform but now however it still works as the amateur artists' music is still free to checkout, like and share.
Immediately i had a few artist in mind that i wanted to use...
During summer i was working with a producer that a close friend put me on to. My friend also put me on to this artist (Woddy Green) who had worked with and was in a collective with the producer.He had just dropped a mixtape 'Taped in Green' which he released on his Soundcloud account several months ago, as he was an unsigned artist there was multiple songs to choose from.
Conviniently i had just spoken to him a month ago regarding music and projects he was working on so i already felt like he was someone who i knew we could easily work with as he was very forward thinking and open minded as we bounced ideas off each other.
I had also recently met another artist during the summer whilst away at a music festival (Reading Fest 2016) he was camped next to us and we began to talk and exchange details. It soon became apparent that he was a amateur rapper, we stayed in contact through social media and through this we were able to listen to his music.
J Antz is an artist from London that i was also introduced to by a friend, regarding a proposition of a collaboration. I started listening to his content on Soundcloud and have been enjoying his content ever since.
I have him on certain social media sites therefore it wouldn't be difficult to contact him regarding this project plus.
If we worked with this artist i would be partial to using his track 'Vybe with me' to create a video.
It happens to be my favourite track by this artist and it reminds me lyrically of music videos that i am fond of such as 'Nothin but Love' - BJ The Chicago Kid and Joey Bada$$, Exchange, Just another Interlude - Bryson Tiller and L$D - A$AP Rocky.

Inspiration from other existing videos...
Constructing this task i knew that we wouldn't have the luxuries of a big budget for setting, cast and props therefore i though of effective music videos that seemed relatively easy to create that would crossover in terms of them and genre.
When I Die - Goldlink
Easy Easy - King Krule
I Need - Maverick Sabre
Caroline - Amine
Here - Alessia Cara
