The fellow grime and underground artists such as Affa use star image to show their niche market audiences by not having their faces on their album covers. this attracts people who simply want to listen to music and not follow a celebrity like many of the mainstream artists of today. A lot of the artistic covers especially with grime artists seems to be rather aggressive images. These images would appeal to the teenage clubbing   scene as the dancing used to enjoy grime and dubstep music is normally very aggressive and abrasive, with people bouncing off of one another energetically. You could say the star image of these artists is to be quite 'tough' and 'hardcore' as in the young people nowadays it is seen to be cool if you are scary or intimidating to others. again, this rebellion era is being pushed forward by these artists and loud and abrasive music. It could also be said that the types of people that listen to this kind of music, also find themselves in  trouble with the law at one stage or another, as the aggression seems to be ingrained into them by their idols.
